Case Studies

From Surviving to Thriving:

When I first started working with Suzie, I felt like I was drowning. I was overwhelmed at work and had even applied for a more junior role, thinking that would help. But deep down, I knew the role wasn’t the issue — I was.

I’d tried counsellors and coaches in the past without much success, and I wasn’t especially hopeful. But Suzie came recommended by a former manager I trusted, and they helped me get regular sessions in place. From our very first meeting, I could tell Suzie’s approach was different.

A Breakthrough in Understanding

Early on, Suzie introduced me to Hogan — a personality profiling tool. I completed it quickly, without much time to overthink. The results were honest, and when Suzie reviewed them with me, she described my childhood, belief system, and the way I deal with conflict with such accuracy that I was blown away. It was the first time I felt truly understood.

That moment built complete trust. I decided then and there to be honest, open, and give this process everything I had.

Lasting Change, Rooted in Depth

Through working with Suzie, I came to realise that I was standing in my own way. I had been defensive because I was insecure. I had unreasonably high standards for myself and others, and I lacked healthy boundaries — especially at work and with family. This left me overworked, resentful, unhappy, and struggling with my mental health.

Suzie helped me unpick these beliefs. She guided me using practical models, scientific insight, and spiritual frameworks — including astrology — to explain why I was the way I was. Most importantly, she helped me create a plan to move forward.

The biggest shift? I took back control. I started managing my time, relationships, and responsibilities with greater clarity and care. I became less anxious, more confident, and a stronger leader and colleague — but also a more content and compassionate person.

Beyond the Workplace

I’ve now been seeing Suzie monthly for three years. She is more than a coach — I can genuinely call her a friend. She’s supported me through building a family, using visualisation and mindfulness techniques. She even completed my son’s birth chart, and her insights have helped me better understand his temperament and needs.

Because of this, I parent more thoughtfully. I don’t react emotionally (most of the time!), and I feel I’ve broken the cycle of fear that my own childhood would negatively impact how I raise him. Parenting has become a joy.

Professionally, the changes have been just as profound. I’ve been promoted and headhunted by former managers. I lead with authenticity, and my department has achieved fantastic engagement results. One of my proudest moments has been being nominated as a positive role model by the people I manage — a testament to how far I’ve come, with Suzie’s guidance.

A Final Word

I can’t thank or recommend Suzie enough. My partner now works with her too and is already seeing the benefits. What started as coaching to help me improve at work has turned into deep personal growth. Suzie’s understanding of life-mapping and spirituality has allowed me to step into my potential — at work, at home, and within myself.
