WHAT CLIENTS SAY
These reflections come from individuals and organisations who’ve worked with Melanie during moments of change and TRANSITION.
Shared with permission.
When clarity returns,
everything moves differently.
Across individuals and organisations, the impact of this work is consistent: people think more clearly, trust themselves sooner, and move forward with greater steadiness—especially during moments of change.
What clients describe again and again is not motivation or performance—but relief.
The sense that the noise has lifted, and a way forward is finally visible.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
“Clear direction. No fluff. Exactly what I needed.”
What stood out to me was how you got me right away. You didn’t sugarcoat things or waste time with fluff—you gave me clear direction, and that’s exactly what I needed.
That real talk was huge for me. It gave me clarity and helped me focus on what actually matters.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
“Slow, steady, and genuinely transformative.”
Mel has a personal, friendly, and grounded approach to coaching. It’s easy to open up to her, and she brings out the best in you through encouraging, motivational, and practical guidance.
Having worked in the corporate world, she can easily relate to many of the challenges and conversations that come up. Slow but steady, Mel is helping me get unstuck and tap into my potential.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
“Her guidance gave me the confidence and skills to lead effectively.”
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with Melanie as my coach. Her guidance has been invaluable as I’ve navigated the transition into people management.
Melanie’s insightful advice and practical strategies equipped me with the confidence and skills to lead my team, build strong relationships, and overcome challenges. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking guidance and support in their leadership journey.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
“Melanie’s warmth created trust immediately—and made a real transition feel manageable.”
I connected with Melanie midway through 2024 during a coaching pilot program at my company.
We clicked immediately. Melanie’s warmth and friendliness created a trusting and open relationship from the start. The timing was perfect, as I was transitioning into a new role.
Melanie is a natural coach. She listens attentively, offers thoughtful advice and feedback, provides alternative perspectives when needed, and creates a comfortable space for open communication. Her expert guidance and supportive nature significantly eased my transition, and I have loved every session with her.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
“She helped me reconnect with my values—and what actually matters.”
Your style suited me. I found you easy to talk to, and I appreciated that there were no expectations or pressure. I didn’t have “high needs”—I just needed space to talk things through.
You gave me practical advice and helped remind me of my values and what’s truly important to me.
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
“The tools I’ve gained will last a lifetime.”
I have found real value in how open and non-judgemental the sessions are. You allow time and space, and you ask the right questions to elicit thoughtful responses.
Your business speaks for itself—The Instinctive Coach. Your approach strengthened my confidence in my own intuition, skills, and knowledge. As we like to say, teach a person to fish—and that’s exactly what you’ve done.
I’ve benefited deeply from exercises and discussions that helped me reframe my thinking and truly understand my worth and value. I’ve learned not to second-guess myself, to take time to process situations from multiple perspectives, and—most importantly—to decide how I move forward.
This coaching has supported not only my professional growth, but my personal growth as well. Colleagues, managers, family, and friends have all noticed the difference. The impact goes far beyond an hour every week, fortnight, or month. The tools I’ve uncovered through this work will last a lifetime.
Clarity doesn’t arrive all at once. It reveals itself.
Clients often say that working with Melanie feels like the clouds clearing—what once felt crowded or confusing begins to make sense.
The path forward doesn’t change.
Your ability to see it does.
