Testimonials

“As a personal coach by profession, I have quite demanding expectations of other professionals in mentoring roles. Elizabeth has lived up to these, meeting me on my own level, offering me effective listening, supportive feedback and practical suggestions that I can go away and work on. After our session, I always find a renewed clarity about what I want to achieve and a stronger sense of my writing voice.” - Dorothy
“Elizabeth has opened to me possibilities for expanding my work… The result is I now feel I have a solid body of work to draw on instead of fragmented bits and pieces, and more of a sense of direction for the future.” - Elaine
“Elizabeth’s help has inspired me to keep going through the creative process. Her patience and keen observation of any positive attributes is a foundation stone for me… Encouragement comes in a straightforward, very consistent and uncomplicated way.” - Jim
“I am so grateful for the time you have taken over this. As a writer yourself, I'm sure you realise that a little encouragement goes a long way. I am fully committed to a career in writing, and it's the input of people like yourself that provide the incentive to keep going.” - Sarah
