Coaching made me realize my own truth about the stories running in my head. I highly recommend working with Ellie. I felt accepted and supported in her presence, no matter what I brought up to a session. I shared with her details of my personal life that I wouldn’t share with anybody else. As I brought up very intimate topics, Ellie created a safe and compassionate space, where I could untangle my struggles. She is a talented coach who, through her clarifying questions and reflections, made me realize my own truth about the stories running in my head. She put me in touch with my priorities and how to go about it.

I was able to see what I need to focus on with myself and my son. I thought maybe that there couldn’t really be any concrete help. And then regarding the distance, that cultural or time changes would make things difficult. But it absolutely wasn’t an issue. And in terms of concrete help, having a goal and being held accountable helped a lot. Sometimes we would discuss personal topics, and it wouldn’t be until the next session that I realized that certain concepts had stayed in my mind. What I really like is that, I would say it’s a little like a mirror because Ellie is mirroring thoughts and then summarizing, I really like this structure. When I had trouble facing a close friend regarding canceling our holiday plans together, how Ellie prepared me…firstly and then kept me objective and accountable…Ellie felt how important this was for me, so this helped me see that even though I dearly love my friend, we are just in different stages of our lives. In terms of things with my ex, I think we made great progress, for me to figure out what is and isn’t my problem. It’s been a difficult lesson to learn, but by coaching with Ellie I was able to see what I need to focus on with myself and my son. I think this has been one of the most important things even now during this Corona outbreak. I learned to better focus on myself and what is good for me and my son. Ellie helps you stay accountable because she is such an attentive listener. You can tell she really cares. She has this aim to focus on one topic that, even though sometimes it's difficult but, this is why, in the end, it works out. Because if I were to just use the session to vent, there wouldn’t be a path forward. I’m really, really grateful for Ellie’s coaching.

Ellie doesn’t diagnose the person, she helps the person diagnose themselves. Just functioning was my biggest obstacle before working with Ellie. I was faced with all this crap I had to do and was not motivated to even begin. But it was easy to work with Ellie because it just was very easy for me to be honest with her. I never felt, like, I'd be judged. I always felt really comfortable talking to her. One of the major things I got by being coached was figuring out that I have ADHD. When I looked up the symptoms, I was like ‘oh my god, That’s me!’. Coaching gave me permission to look at myself and go, ‘oh, there’s a reason I’m like this. I’m not a hopeless case!’ I learned that I can figure things out for myself. I mean, that I can look at myself without judgment. I can be more matter of fact about things. Instead of starting out as ‘boy, you’re a f%&d-up person. Why even bother?” Now I see that I can diagnose my own problems. I might not fix them but, I can diagnose! It’s empowering to figure out things for myself. Ellie doesn’t diagnose the person, she helps the person diagnose themselves because it doesn’t work when someone tells you what to do. You can admit to yourself your own shortcomings because the coaching process is judgment free. I highly recommend being coached by Ellie because you know she really understands, so you feel comfortable.
