Here’s What My Clients Say About Working With Me

 “After 12 years of working as a Doctor for the NHS, I knew I was ready for a change, but uncertain as to my next career move. Furthermore, I was overwhelmed to the point of paralysis when it came to learning new skills that would help me succeed.

With Darleen’s 6 month programme, my career path became clear. I’ve found enjoyment and passion in the work that I do and I look forward to challenging myself everyday in a way that takes me one step closer to becoming fluent in French. I cannot express enough gratitude for the clarity and progress this journey has brought to my life.”

Dr Connie Kerali - Medical Leave Service - European Parliament - Luxembourg

“I received coaching for an issue that had been holding me back over the past few years both in my career and personal life. During our sessions, I received the space, time, and support to acknowledge and release the negative thoughts and feelings that I had been holding onto. This has now allowed me the freedom to look ahead, move forward and embrace a new life chapter, feeling completely refreshed and renewed.

Darleen has a wonderful gift of understanding and seeing things in others. She provides the right words at the right time, to bring about self-healing and redirection. I’d highly recommend Darleen Davies coaching to anyone.”

Dr Sarah Pieters - Medical Doctor & Company Director – Surrey

“My coaching sessions with Darleen were insightful, emotional and even fun! I didn't realise how much she could help me move on with my dreams to start my own company. I really can’t wait to start my new chapter. I would highly recommend her."

Ms JJ - Freelancer - London

“I was suffering from anxiety for about 7 years, which hindered what I was able to do, including how far I could travel and what jobs I could apply for.

I knew something had to change and that is why I went to Darleen Davies Coaching. My 6-month programme has been brilliant, I thoroughly enjoyed the process. Since coaching with Darleen, my panic attacks have reduced by 80%. I have my self- esteem and confidence back now. I discovered and learned so much more about myself, and what my true capabilities are. Since coaching, I have changed my life for the better and I can see the results, which includes new work I have now found!

Darleen’s sessions were brave, courageous, and original- not one session was ever the same. She’s helped me get my life back on track and it’s been an invaluable experience. My life has changed for the better – I’ve found my power and now doing the things today, I only thought was possible in my dreams.”

Ms JS - Self-employed - London

“Darleen Davies Coaching has given me a real sense of optimism and self-belief. I completed her 4 month- programme and we worked through a whole variety of insightful exercises and topics during, and in between our sessions. Throughout this time, I expanded my mind, gained a new found confidence and developed a new perspective of what I’m truly capable of.

The future is a whole lot brighter and I’m now excited about what’s in store for me. I would highly recommend Darleen as a Coach, if you want to be stretched out of your comfort zone in a safe supported space, and gain a deeper awareness about yourself.”

Mr PD - Sales Director - London

“I will never be able to express how much coaching with Darleen Davies Coaching has changed my life.

My original aim when I started coaching was to help me address issues I felt with starting my own business. What actually happened with coaching, is that it has also improved not only my professional life but my personal life also.

The decision to start working on myself through coaching, was the best decision I have ever made. Unlike talking to therapists, coaching has allowed me to reframe my inner thoughts and create clarity in complex situations.”

Ms LBS- Entrepreneur- London

“When I had my initial chemistry session with Darleen in the summer of 2020, I recall not being satisfied in my career as a GP but not knowing what to do next. After that first session I had a glimpse into the life that I wanted to lead, which was the spark that I needed to make a change in my life.

Fast forward over 1 year later, and with Darleen’s support and completing her amazing career coaching programme, I’ve fulfilled a lifelong dream to work abroad for an international institution and I’ve now set up my own online hypnotherapy business. Darleen helped me to discover my values and my passion.

The difference between now and then is like night and day. I’m doing a job that I love, under my own terms, with a clear vision of what I want to achieve in the future. You simply can’t put a price on that.”

Dr Connie Kerali- GP & Hypnotherapist Owner- London

“Before I began coaching, I had lost sight of the powerful voice inside me that knows I’m capable of so much more. I had no vision for all the changes I was desperate to make, and I had lost my lust for life.

My confidence was at an all time low from a professional stance and the focus on my lifelong qualities had faded. I was overwhelmed, overthinking, underutilised and life felt like life was swallowing me up.

I am standing tall, my feet are grounded, my vision is clear and I've got a suite of valuable new tools in my life survival kit. I recognise I'm a better version of myself, markedly different from February this year. And, while I know the journey still has a way to go, I wouldn't want it any other way and I'm so well placed to 'push on' and 'move mountains'.

From the vision I built out of my new exciting career, I successfully got a place to study in my professional field. My studies are underway with the Centre of Homeopathic Education and I will become a fully licensed practitioner. I have introduced new tools into my daily/weekly routine to help me keep growing and the discovering journey I’ve been on has remoulded me.

When the clouds of life start to suffocate you and you find it hard to seek out the blue sky, Darleen is the vision of new opportunity you need.

The coaching program is definitely not for the faint hearted, be prepared for hard grafting and to bare all. Standing in the shoes of your most venerable state will open doors and propel you to being a more fulfilled version of you.

It was a big investment but I make decisions based on where I want to get to. I look back and see where I am, I recognise where I’d be without it and without question it is up there as a life-defining savvy choice. 

Darleen is the cheerleader in professional life everyone needs. She doesn’t just ‘big you up’ for the sake of it (she’s pushed you way out of your comfort zone before she does!) but when she plays back your strengths and you realise the vision that grounds you, it’s pretty special.”

Emily Crozier- Studying with Centre of Homeopathic Education- Surrey

“I had the pleasure to be coached by Darleen for her 6 month programme and she’s an amazing coach. She helped me become more agile and resilient, and help step into my inner power! This enabled me to create extraordinary results in my business and personal life.

I value her agility and creative coaching style, combined with deep listening and presence which helped enable my own transformation.

I would recommend Darleen to anyone who is wanting to thrive and break through the patterns that are holding them back.”

Ms Dagmara A- Executive and Leadership Coach-Dubai

“Working with Darleen is truly inspiring.

She coached me through the mental fitness Positive Intelligence course, which was a great experience and helped me grow in my private and professional life.

Darleen is an empathetic, well-structured and energetic coach who has a very good sense of her clients' needs. She likes to challenge without being harsh and definitely brings out the best in a person. I would definitely recommend her as a career coach!”

Ms Kasia Newman- Event Manager- Munich

“I don’t think there is enough space on here to say thank you!

Having been a lost soul for so long and finding myself getting further away from my path I knew it was time to make the change. I’d finished my therapy course which helped me address my demons, but what coaching with Darleen helped me with was to then help me remember the person I once was & longed to be again.

We did an intense 2 month session (they’re normally 3 - 6 months) and I threw my everything into it. I went from being this confused, self- conscious, unconfident, scared person who clearly didn’t have much hope, to being the completely opposite person. It’s almost like night and day! Hand on heart, I used walk out of my room to go speak to my partner feeling like I was walking 6 feet tall and grinning like a Cheshire Cat. I found out so much more about my self in those 2 months than I did in therapy.

I’m positive again, about life, about work and about my future. She showed me the strengths that I already had - I was just too blind to see and she helped me to address my saboteurs in away that only she can show you.

I’m HAPPY, so happy about life again & more importantly I’m not scared to be myself anymore.

You have changed myself for the better Darleen and for that I could never repay you.

If anyone is on the fence about coaching, please do yourself a favour and call her! My biggest fear was finding the time, but we made it work because it was important to me. Worth every penny and every second spent!

Darleen challenges you and pushes back and that was exactly what I needed. Don’t get me wrong, therapy is great and it was needed, but if you are looking to be the best version of yourself like I was, then you need Darleen Davies coaching. 

I will be forever grateful for your help! 

Ms Shannagh Dye - Lettings Manager, Crystal Palace

“Darleen is a lucid coach. Her high positive energy is refreshing and transmissible. I found clarity again. She helped me unlock my creativity on a big project I was working on. I’ve found hope and confidence again. I’ve gained a better perspective of my own skill set and what I am truly capable of.

Darleen has done a remarkable job and is a unique coach. It’s been a truly special journey with her.”

Ms AA - Copywriter - London

“I can’t recommend Darleen Davies Coaching enough to anyone that is at crossroads or a stumbling block in their career. Darleen’s unique talents as a coach, really helped me turn a page when I was at a sticking point in life. I’m an anaesthetic doctor and medicine has been all I have known for over 20 years, but in the last few years something felt missing and my future path no longer felt right. I wanted coaching because I didn’t know how to navigate my next move. I felt so lost.

 Darleen is a phenomenal Coach, her ability to help guide me through a journey of discovery, understand personal aspects of myself with more clarity,  was unreal.  I found myself energised after each session, wanting to discover more and develop a better understanding faster each time.  She helped me harness this energy in a profound way, refocusing and using the momentum to move me along a new and progressive journey.  I have just scratched the surface and am so excited to continue the journey with Darleen. I think I may have not been the easiest client for her, but she was patient, and everything felt effortless, great respect to that skill Darleen!

If you are reading this and unsure if coaching is for you, I would say try it, see how you feel; I did, and hands down is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and one of the best personal investments in myself, which ultimately also pays off for those close to me.  My wife most definitely noticed a difference as I progressed through my programme with Darleen.  She says thank you too!

A huge thank you to Darleen - She is a rare and an amazing talent.  I’m excited for anyone that has the lucky opportunity to experience coaching with her.”

Dr Nishanth Sandrasegaram- Anaesthetist- London

“Darleen is naturally a very motivational, positive and inspiring person and Coach. She helped me reframe my thinking and see obstacles as possibilities.

She guided me in a gentle yet determined way that was personable, relatable and kind. She will see something in you that you may not have seen yourself, and will guide you to fulfil your entire potential.

Darleen is an excellent coach and really helped me focus on my business as well as my self worth, which I now see go hand in hand. Thank you, Darleen.”

Ms CB- Writer- Manchester

“Prior to starting my 7-week mental fitness course with Darleen Davies Coaching, my biggest challenge was maintaining a sense of forward thinking and enthused positivity.

My life feels incredibly busy, and in my job in particular, I’d often find myself jumping from one task to the next, often feeling reactive, stretched and a bit stressed about whether or not I’m taking the best/most considered/most effective course of action- particular where the people who work for me and with me are concerned. The impact on me, made me feel deflated sometimes, like I wasn’t doing performing as well as I could do.

Completing the 7-week mental fitness PQ program I am calmer & comfortable to effectively tackle the day to day challenges in my life and at work. I have clearer thoughts with a more positive frame of mind.

If you’re at the stage where you’re thinking about this, either because it’s a new and interesting concept, or because you’ve tried other methods (self-help books and podcasts galore - as I have done) this is one of the most effective courses I’ve experienced in actually re-shaping your mindset, creating greater accountability with yourself and others, and have a real long-lasting impact.”

Mr TD- Managing Director- Financial Services- London

“I did the 4-month coaching programme with Darleen.  When I began my sessions with Darleen, I had been dealing with recurrent miscarriage and fertility problems and was going through a difficult programme of treatment.  The emotional roller coaster nature of the treatment, and trying to have a child, had become all consuming and it had taken all the joy out of my life. I felt anxious.

I realised  what I really needed was a change in mindset and focus.  I was ready for a change but was unsure on where to start;  so I sought after a coach and began coaching with Darleen.

My sessions gave me insight into myself again. They gave me a new focus; not thinking only about having a baby, but about what was really important to me. They were fun and she also  took me out of my comfort zone. After each session I felt both energised and positive.

By the end of the programme, I was enjoying setting and meeting my goals and I was actively choosing to include things in my life that I enjoyed doing and made me feel good. The most amazingly result of all, despite two failed IVF cycles, I fell pregnant naturally!

It’s now two years later and I’ve revisited my original vision and goals. I am pleasantly surprised to see that I had continued to work towards them and I’m smashing it! For example, I had wanted to start volunteering with my local conservation group and having worked with them informally for the past year, I now have a formalised role as their new Programme Manager to oversee their projects.

So, if you are sitting on the fence about coaching with Darleen, I would say DO IT. It’s truly life changing.  Sessions with Darleen are energising, insightful and thought provoking.  She’ll give you the time, space and strategies to really focus on you, to help you discover what is important to you & where you want to be in the future and support you in getting there.”

Gemma H- Head of Professional Development Programmes, Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists- London

“Darleen is a force to be reckoned with. I had an idea on what I wanted out of coaching but I didn't expect to find that the skills I thought were my weaknesses were actually my strengths. She’s given me the tools, confidence and clarity I needed to rewire, rework and grow.

Her warmth, compassion and ability to dig deep into areas I had locked away, have given me a new lease for life. My fire has been relit and I’m so excited to now be walking in my true purpose, unapologetically and with love. Thank you Darleen.”

Malaika - Data Specialist - London

“I approached Darleen at a point where I was strongly considering my next career move. At this time I felt overwhelmed, indecisive and unfulfilled.

With Darleen's coaching, she helped me identify and learn about what I truly value both personally and professionally.

These values have formed the foundations that I am now using for all of the decisions that I make in life.

I am now more self assured, more confident with my decision making and know what to do when I am feeling anxious or overwhelmed.

I can't thank Darleen enough for all of her support and guidance that she has given me over the last 3 months. I am pleased to say I found a new job during our time together and I am very excited to start. I'd highly recommend Darleen as a Career coach.”

Peter - Head of Client Services- London

“Working with Darleen has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! I came to her feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and unsure of my next steps in life after some life changing situations.

Her guidance, support, and insight helped me gain clarity, set clear goals, and take actionable steps toward achieving them.

Every session felt empowering, and Darleen provided a perfect balance of encouragement and accountability. I can now confidently say I feel more aligned with my purpose and have the tools I need to continue growing. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for personal or professional transformation!”

Himani Bailey- Client Partner- London

“After many years in the creative industry, I found myself in a numbing 'whiteout'. My feet were firmly planted but I was unable to move forward.

Darleen took me on a journey through feelings and emotions, employing my senses to solve the conundrums of my confused mind. Encouraging hope instead of fear she lead me through calm, intuitive and science-based teaching to a lighter vision of a limitless future.

Darleen challenged me to face difficult old patterns of belief and to cut the strings of doubt. She guided me through visualisation and physical movement to make a space for my true potential to show itself.

I am hugely grateful for her energy, teaching and compassion but mostly for the invaluable time she invested in me. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

Ms Deirdre Rooney - International Food and Travel Photographer - London

“Darleen’s coaching has made a lasting impact on me. I have shared some deep/ emotional issues with her, which she responded to in a gentle and respectful way, but also challenging me in places.

It was in challenging me that I found the most value as it meant I was able to find new perspectives and ways forward. Always with her client's best interests in mind, Darleen is a careful, intuitive listener.​

I would highly recommend Darleen as a coach."

Helen- Conference Director - Oxfordshire

“I went to Darleen Davies Coaching to help me provide greater clarity on my career goals after an extended period of maternity leave. I found that my priorities from a previous career as a Senior Manager in the fashion industry, no longer lit up my soul and I wanted to blend a desire to help people with the skills I had acquired in my previous professional endeavours.

Darleen very quickly and expertly able to take me out of my comfort zone in a way that felt safe, which gave me greater clarity on where I wanted to go. She was able to extract new habits and behaviours to set me on the path to meet my newly defined goals. I regained hope and a more defined, stronger sense of purpose with a renewed energy and confidence to achieve my vision.

Working with Darleen accelerated this process for me significantly and allowed me to access the right tools in a more efficient way.

I would highly recommend Darleen for anyone who is looking for greater clarity as to their goals / purpose, or is perhaps stuck at a crossroads personally or professionally. Her coaching, compassion, professionalism and insights have been invaluable to me.”

Ms ST - Wellness Business Owner - Stamford

“My sessions with Darleen Davies Coaching were outstanding. My sessions with her allowed me to gather all of my thoughts and emotions in a way that was thought provoking for me. I would come out of coaching always feeling calm and collected to then be able to move forward in life.”

Ms KB- Student - Bexhill

“I approached Darleen Davies Coaching 6 months ago when I was going through a serious mental block and lacked clarity of where I wanted my career. In my 6 month programme, she has helped me through professional & personal growth and development.

Darleen has helped me make some courageous decisions about work, life and relationships which I previously would not have made. She definitely helped me reignite passions and purpose that had been hidden away for a long time.

I’d 100% recommend Darleen to anyone seeking coaching/ mentorship, and she is someone you can trust implicitly in the process.”

Mr Ruben Fonseca- Executive Director- Sales EMEA- Kent

“I found the biggest difference between having a therapist and having Darleen as a coach, is the focus and pace of progress.

For me, seeing my therapist directed me on feeling my feelings and analysing them in the context of my life story and lived experiences. It took me while to work out “my issues” and it took some time for action to take place or change to happen.

Having Darleen as my coach alongside me, I found her sessions more practical. We identified common themes and together we quickly found solutions and tools to deal with life and work situations, so I can move forward into action. I found the coaching process with Darleen a lot more rewarding.”

Dr TS-Medical Doctor- London

“Before starting the Mental fitness course I would routinely allow my life and work to be derailed by simultaneously trying to please and judging other people. I was also disorganised and tended to procrastinate a lot.

My most significant challenge was in my relationships, where my people pleaser instincts compelled me to do things for my partner without ever asking her what she needed or wanted. This also impacted work performance - I was forever running around making sure people were ok. In amongst this I would avoid hard conversations both at work and at home (and avoid projects - I was a huge procrastinator!)

After completing the 7-week program my relationship with my partner has definitely improved; we communicate much better, and I've stopped stifling my own needs. I am more organised at work including starting a number of projects at work that I was previously procrastinating on.

Darleen is a fabulous coach and has guided me through my mental fitness PQ journey in a professional and caring manner. I had my reservations at the start, but she was very patient with me and allowed me ample space to be vulnerable. Although it's an international program, I very much felt like she was tailoring it specifically to me and the problems I was facing.

In general, the mental fitness PQ program is a great framework for understanding our tendency to get in our own way and provides very practical real-world solutions for when we do this!

I think if you're on the fence, and you find yourself trying the same things over and over again, and they're not working, it's definitely time to change things. Coaching with Darleen is an excellent way to make that change. Also read Darleen's testimonials - all of which ring true.”

Dr EH- Medical Consultant- London

“Before working with Darleen, I felt really unhappy at work -- I was being pulled in too many different directions, and losing sight of my priorities and sources of joy/meaning at work.

Working with Darleen helped me to reconnect with what was most important to me, and then make changes so that my job was better aligned with those priorities.

She helped me to make major and subtle changes in terms of how I spent my time, and how I felt about what I was doing, that mean I am much happier, focused, and more productive at work.

I highly recommend Darleen as a coach -- she is empathetic, thoughtful, and effective at supporting others to make the changes they really want to make in their life. It was truly a transformational experience, and I'm so glad I hired her as a coach!”

Rachel- University Professor- Colorado, USA

“I went to Darleen for coaching because I was feeling lost and overwhelmed, after working for over 20 years in the prosthetic make-up industry. My circumstances had changed, and I felt I needed encouragement and support during this time, and I certainly got this from my coaching with Darleen.

With Darleen’s help, I was able to clearly articulate a future vision for myself and redefined my priorities to achieve a greater work/life balance I was longing for. I was able to gain the confidence and made some mindset changes. This had a significant and positive impact on other aspects of my life too.

Darleen is great at understanding you as the whole person and I would highly recommend her to anyone, who feels lost and overwhelmed in their work or career. I am now really looking forward to my future.”
