On Coach Supervision

Working with Edna as my coaching supervisor has been essential to my growth as both a coach and facilitator. She brings a rare blend of deep and broad expertise, openness, challenge, and support. Edna creates a space for honest reflection that consistently leads to meaningful, practical, and useful insights. I leave every session with greater clarity, fresh perspectives, and renewed confidence.
Brendan, Coach & Consultant

Edna is a fantastic supervisor.  I have worked with her for a number of years – first as a group supervisor, and now as my private supervisor.  She has also been my facilitator through the Oxford Brookes supervision training.  I love Edna’s style – the perfect blend of wisdom and playfulness.  I genuinely enjoy our sessions and my coaching practice is infinitely better for it!
Janet H, Executive Coach

Having been supervised as a coach and coach supervisor by Edna over the past three years, I have experienced firsthand her powerful guidance. She is astute, thoughtful, caring, and consistently challenges me to grow beyond my perceived limits. Her background in business, combined with her understanding and application of systemic thinking, is an enriching approach to supervision. Edna has the ability to navigate complexity fostering both personal and professional development. I am grateful for her insights and unwavering support
Ann W, Coach / Supervisor

I have had the good fortune to be working with Edna now for over 6 years…in the role of supervisor.

Having been a practicing somatic psychotherapist, supervisor and coach for over 20 years, I have worked with many supervisors.  I believe we find the right person at the right time.  And whilst I have worked with many wonderful people, I am very grateful to have engaged Edna in this period of my practice.

Edna has a unique ability to know when to reach in and tug a personal pattern that may be showing up in my work, AND she can wrap around with compassionate understanding when the doubt gets a little rocky.  Her timing is immaculate. 

She manages to fold in an amazing amount of psycho education; she can mirror back reflections that I have made over the time and can synthesise these into gems of knowledge. She does this with a gentle sense of humour partnered with crystal clear feedback which deepens the supported learning environment.

I feel met by Edna and cared for by Edna.  I know my practice has changed since working with her and for that, I am grateful.

On Coaching & Mentoring

I had the great privilege of working with Edna for several years. Edna was my coach! And a damn good coach at that.  Why?  Well, she never made the coaching about her, it was always in service to me. She challenged me to take a holistic view of where I was going and where I wanted to get to. Skillfully, through the use of various frameworks and tools, I learnt things about myself I didn’t know. And then we set about making great progress towards a “better me”.
Ron Arnold, Strategy Founder, 11Eight

Edna’s intuition, coaching ability and compassion are something I will always be grateful for as she has been an invaluable guide for me on my journey and one I strongly would / and have, recommended to others.
Lauren, Client

In my 20 years of corporate life, I’ve been fortunate to work with a number of executive coaches, but Edna was a whole other level.  I could not possibly recommend Edna enough.  Over a period of 8 months, she not only significantly improved my development and performance into an executive role, she also simultaneously supported me through my greatest ever personal crisis.

I’m pretty sure I would not have made it through without her. She is both professional and supportive; challenging and caring; patient and determined. You will have to search long and hard to find a better coach.
Darin, Client

I began working with Edna when I was unexpectedly retrenched from a senior corporate position which presented me with big, difficult decisions about my career and how I wanted to live.  I worked with Edna to integrate the pain of that transition to gain clarity, focus and momentum in my life and work, which has taken a more fulfilling direction, aligned to my deeper values.  Edna’s guidance helped me to find the courage and clarity I needed to strike out in this new direction. As a Coach, Counsellor and Therapist, Edna has a rare combination of professional expertise, profound insight, sharp intellect and deep compassion.  Her ability to bring together therapeutic knowledge with business acumen has been invaluable in our work together.  Last, but not least, Edna’s strength and integrity generated the trust that has allowed our sessions to be profoundly beneficial.

On Team / Group Facilitation:

Edna is very skilled, experienced and enthusiastic, with an ability to make the complex simple.

Edna is wonderful, very clearly spoken, with a calm, gentle manner, and is highly knowledgeable and professional.  She was also excellent at keeping to time whilst covering the content of the workshop.

I found Edna clear, concise, knowledgeable, and importantly able to present information in a way that I could easily understand.

Loved Edna’s openness and honesty as she facilitated this workshop.

Edna’s experience, insight and how she addressed individual learning goals within this workshop helped me immensely in my learning experience.

I found Edna to be extremely grounded and clear and I felt more confident to find my real voice in the group with her holding the space in the steady way she did. is a very involved and enlightened facilitator

Thanks to Edna, I have a changed perspective of group work.  This was a journey of self awareness and I have surprisingly enjoyed it immensely

Edna is an excellent group facilitator.  I immensely appreciated her balance of being present and genuine, though not in the group, still able to impart and share of herself and theory where appropriate.  I think she struck this balance brilliantly.

I felt the group got a little out of control at one stage, and I saw Edna facilitate the group, and myself, back to a safe place within which we could continue our work.
