Get In Touch

To whom it may concern Miriam saw me for seven sessions, and I found her to be very helpful in helping me identify my key strengths, and my skills, both natural and acquired. She facilitated me,  without stress or anxiety, to find the best path to take on a new career with which I had no previous experience. I am now armed with a useful box of tools that I can apply to my new job, feeling confident and comfortable in the future. I wholeheartedly recommend Miriam Thornton as an excellent career coach.

"Miriam’s coaching skills allowed me to focus on what I have achieved and gained from my past experiences. As a young professional not long out of education, it was significant for my future career prospects as it allowed me to understand my strengths and passions about my career. I was making a big step in my career by leaving my current position and moving abroad to Australia, so Miriam organized the sessions by going through my CV and providing me the tools on how to interrupt my skills gained from my life and career experiences so I could showcase my strengths in an interview process. From these exercises, I learned a lot about myself which gave me great confidence in my abilities. She asked me questions that allowed for internal discovery and thought about all aspects of my professional life. Many of these questions provided a helpful stern test that helped me understand what I wanted for my career. Miriam's eagerness to help, professionalism, and enthusiasm are some of the many reasons she excels as a life coach. I will be using Miriam's methods throughout my career to come!"

From the first time when I contacted Miriam, I felt she is warm, kind and open and willing to help me which made me feel comfortable to start life coaching sessions with her. I had not had any life coaching before and Miriam kindly and clearly explained how each session would proceed. Through the sessions, Miriam asked me questions which I thought I answered but I did not. Thanks to her I realised that I had to confront what I had avoided without realising to gain “lifelong life hacks”. It was challenging for me to practise what Miriam suggested as I had to change my habit I have acquired throughout long years however, with her support I gradually got used to the new approaches. I still have “rainy days” or see “grey sky” above me as it is not possible to have sunny days all the time and I always remember what Miriam told me during the sessions and I can see a rainbow 🙂 I believe Miriam’s life coaching will guide you so that you can help yourself.

Miriam has the unparalleled experience to assist you in asking yourself the perfect questions which allow you to articulate both your values and career priorities – she probes through the noise to unearth the succinct answers. Miriam worked on my approach in critical detail to develop my value add with perfect descriptions. I will be forever grateful – she asked the questions I was trying to avoid! I am now incredibly happy in my new job.

Miriam has been a fantastic Life Coach over the last few weeks. Coaching sessions were something totally new to me, and although we didn't know each other in advance, she created a very safe space and really put me at ease. I appreciate the time, energy, and effort Miriam put into each of our sessions. The sessions allowed me to explore certain areas of my life that I wanted to improve on and develop; discussing various areas with Miriam was so helpful, and she allowed me time and space on calls to explore various areas and ideas I had and come up with solutions, she was extremely patient! Miriam’s enthusiasm and positive attitude is infectious, and I could really feel it on every call; although sessions took place over Zoom and after a full day of work, I always felt energised, excited, and motivated about the changes I was going to make. Having an action plan helped me to focus on specific areas and achieve goals that had been set; when I made progress in areas, I had a real sense of achievement. I found the activities she suggested, such as the wheel of life, helpful. I now have a new perspective on certain areas, such as my daily routine, where I felt like I was in a repetitive cycle that wasn't serving me; these sessions really helped me to reflect, break the cycle and move forward. I enjoyed the way Miriam summarised our sessions; it was very helpful in giving a detailed overview of what had been achieved in each session; I think this is a real skill. I found Miriam very respectful and professional throughout. Thank you for everything!

When my children were young, I spent several years as a full-time stay-at-home mum. Miriam coached me when I found the prospect of returning to the workforce overwhelming. After the career break, I lacked real direction and the level of confidence required to make the transition back to professional life. Miriam, who is approachable and insightful, listened and heard my concerns. She asked me relevant questions and offered sage advice and real solutions. With Miriam’s support, empathy, and encouragement, I returned to work successfully. Miriam remains a beacon – guiding me.
