What my clients have achieved:

Clarity That Leads to Choice (Career Transformation)

"Gillian guided me through a crucial process of self reflection and structured thought that created a breakthrough in my career. In just three sessions, I developed the clarity and confidence I needed, received several job offers to choose from, and moved into one of my favorite companies."

Finding Light Behind the Storm (Sustained Direction)

"Gillian appeared at the right time in a very trying period. I struggled for a long time to find someone who could both listen without judgment and understand where I was.

She was able to help me see the sun behind the storm, seeding positive ideals and gently nudging me a step into a more positive, sustained direction."
