If you are tired of holding yourself back and are ready to dive deep, get in touch with Petra!

In such a short space of time I have got more clarity than ever before and have finally given myself permission to be me whilst walking towards my dreams, not in 5 years time when I'll be more 'worthy' but today. I have such gratitude for this work, thank you!

A change of mindset and the opportunity to make the most of change. Being self-employed, I am so used to doing everything by myself, working with Petra offers the possibility to reassess aspects of life and work together with a professional. The potential to find a more structured and positive way of working and being which is sympathetic to instinct and intuition.

How would you describe her approach?  
Open-minded, perceptive, holistic, creative, positive and supportive.

What did you get from your work together?  
The chance to reflect over my ways of being, thinking and working in deep and meaningful ways. The support to process and move beyond some difficult feelings and events. To start implementing some helpful structures.

Would you recommend Petra and if so why?  
I would warmly recommend Petra for her expertise, warmth and commitment to her clients.

What are Petra's strengths?  
Petra is perceptive, committed and has a holistic way of working. She is very good at responding to her clients. Using her broad knowledge of different coaching practices, she is at ease moving between the intuitive and imaginative to the more structured and logical.

​Petra provided a safe, welcoming space for me to explore what was holding me back in my personal and professional life. 

Even when I was frustrated with myself ("oh god I'm not here again?!") she would have this gentle way of exploring the issue to reveal a new angle or a new layer that I wasn't able to see myself. 

Her astute, kind questions allowed me to explore things at a deeper level and helped to shine a light on personal beliefs that were holding me back. 

She guided me to discover my own truths and in the end, her genuine, caring presence helped me become a better friend to myself. 

I feel lighter and more focused thanks to her!

Sitwat Asad

What change Petra brings about for you? 
She encouraged openness with myself. As a result of speaking with her, I take myself more seriously, and honour myself.

How would you describe her approach?  
Enabling and probing. She encourages accountability.

What did you get from your work together?  
I now have a greater understanding of my needs. With Petra I can make confessions and explore the elements of my thinking and feelings of which I am slightly ashamed. I am inclined to speak about these areas seriously and without diminishing them through joviality, or exaggerating.  

Would you recommend Petra and if so why?  
I would recommend Petra if your aim is to explore yourself and your motives, to drive your life forward. Her approach is to guide her client to an exploration of self, thoughts, motives etc. This, for me, is effective in getting to an uncomfortable root and tackling it, and then working on goals and aspirations from a clear space.

What are Petra's strengths?  
Petra holds silence very well. She encourages reflection during the session, and this is not always comfortable, but she is unflinching.

To consolidate what I have said above: 
Petra provides a perfect space in which to explore myself, my darker side, and to have the strength to face the light.

First I'd like to thank you for working with me. I feel that you help me talk about my inner feelings and fears. With you I have been able to explore issues I would normally keep for myself and you have helped me get more clarity and a better understanding of my own capabilities and how to work with my skills to overcome my limits. For me the biggest result I've got from working with you is definitely Clarity. The change that you have helped me achieve is definitely Clarity and for me it is definitely a big achievement as for a long time I had tried to find clarity but was not able to see the bigger picture as I can now. 

I think your approach is definitely a person centred approach that is focused on the client's needs and helps the client find their answers in their own world. You do allow me to find my own place in the world and find my own answers without forcing any opinion on me. I feel a great connection and explore my deeper issues freely without feeling judged.

Thank you very much :-)

Feeling more positive and determined; greater awareness of how my thinking affects my mood.

How would you describe her approach? 
Analytical, challenging and encouraging.

What did you get from your work together?  
Greater confidence in myself and my abilities, greater understanding of myself and what holds me back, ideas about how to move forwards.

Would you recommend Petra and if so why?  
Yes, definitely. I found her easy to talk to, she always seemed interested in me, she was always encouraging and positive, she used coaching tools well.

What are Petra's strengths? 
She uses open questions extremely well to explore difficult areas. She conceptualises ideas and situations well, picking up on the imagery and metaphors of the client.

The 6 sessions of life coaching have been very helpful, I have been pleasantly surprised by how positive the experience has been.

Petra is a very skilled and inspirational life coach. I have been able to make positive changes in my life as a result of my coaching sessions, I feel more confident about my future and have achieved greater focus.

Simon Brooke

What change Petra brings about for you? 
I realised a lot of things that seem very obvious now – that work is required to achieve success and rather than working out what is required for the work to be begun, starting the work is more important. I was challenged to embark on a difficult aim - 100 gigs in a year, and once I started I realised that it might be less difficult than it looked from the outside. I also learned that it's easier to be frightened of things that you are avoiding... I feel quite different about attempting to achieve goals.

How would you describe her approach? 
It was pretty relaxed. It felt quite person centred – I would talk a lot and she would ask specific questions at the right time. She would call my attention to particular things she was hearing and when I came to a breakthrough it always felt as though it had come from me, which I think is much more powerful than someone telling me what they thought.

What did you get from your work together?  
A sense of where I wanted to go and how to get there.

Is there anything you would have liked to be different?
I got most from being challenged. The question 'are you interested or are you committed?' was a major one for me. I might have liked to be dared to do more things a little earlier (though it might have felt a bit confrontational in the first few weeks).

What are Petra's strengths?  
Extremely perceptive. Petra always felt like she had a very clear understanding of what was getting in my way, more so than I did, and would guide me towards realising what the issue was rather than telling me.

Would you recommend Petra and if so why?  
Totally. I got a lot from it.

Petra is an extremely supportive, encouraging, perceptive coach, and after only 5 sessions I am much better equipped to achieve my goals.

Do you have any other comments you'd like to make?  
Thanks for a fantastic experience.

Simon Brooke, Comedian, London

Ashley Duquette

Petra is probably the most genuine coach I've ever had. She has got emotional awareness, she is deeper and she is more authentic, it seems with herself and so with me. So she gets the emotional intelligence of things and how to really work it.

How would you describe Petra's approach?  
I could really feel her there with me. That is rare. She was really trying to really hear me. I think she is going to be amazing with people.

Would you recommend Petra and if so why?  
Yes, I've had many experiences trying to work through my own experiences and Petra is a standout with how committed she is to the process. It's like she is meditative when she is listening because I've never felt so heard. I want to be more like that with people.

What are Petra's strengths?  
Real presence. Patience, authenticity, depth.

Do you have any other comments you'd like to make?  
Thank you. I won't forget you.
