Real experiences from people Áine has worked with
"I regained my confidence and found clarity during a time of change.”
I reached out to Aine for some support and guidance as I felt really stuck and lost in my career and personal life. Upon meeting Aine she had a great positive, inspired energy that gave me a renewed sense of excitement that my situation was only temporary and that I could turn things around.
We worked through some career issues about different courses I could pursue and how I could move forward to find new challenges to work towards and also in my personal life.I felt needed a fresh start somewhere new and we agreed that moving to a new country would provide a lot of new growth, learning and experiences that I was looking for.
I felt lost after big life changes and the sessions provided a supportive space to feel seen and heard. I feel I have regained my sense of confidence and much happier now working towards new life goals with more purpose and clarity. I would highly recommend Aine for anyone who is looking for a coach. — Richard

“Áine helped me gain clarity, confidence, and the motivation to move forward in both my career and personal life.”
I really did enjoy my experience with Áine. Everyday posed a new outlook on not only career prospects/further education, but, on how I view myself. As a recent college graduate with limited experience I didn’t know what to expect when contacting Áine. However, I found myself becoming increasingly motivated and confident on every step we took throughout our time together.
We primarily refined my communication and interpersonal skills and things are only going upward since we last met. I have been offered a fantastic job and enrolled in a part-time postgrad course during the short amount of time since we last met. Áine’s patience, energy and experience really did contribute to my current well-being and happiness. I couldn’t thank Áine enough, she really opened my eyes to the many options the world has to offer and gave me the motivation to take the leap. Without question it is definitely worth your time and I couldn’t recommend her services enough ! She is amazing and what she does. — John
