our clients say
“I initially signed up for coaching unsure if I would really get anything meaningful out of the sessions, I was pleasantly surprised and I found my sessions with Anna to be incredibly life affirming. Coaching helped me to see myself outside of the institution that I have been working in for many years and to realise who I am as a creative being, leader and practitioner. I would highly recommend Anna’s services, especially if, like me, you are a bit unsure if coaching is right for you. Our sessions gave me space to own my achievements, build my confidence and I gained a toolkit of strategies to help me overcome challenges in my work. Her genuine warmth and friendly character put me at ease instantly and helped me to carve out space in my brain and time in my schedule to dream, to go after the passions buried away in my overthinking and to push against doors of opportunity.”

“I was lucky enough to receive coaching with Anna through the SSE Emerging Leaders course. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect or where the sessions would take us. I had been feeling stuck and lacking confidence. Anna was excellent at guiding me to find my own answers using values-based tools and techniques to dig deeper into my purpose and bigger future vision. Anna’s authenticity and honesty are refreshing, albeit challenging at times. As a new parent, I was feeling a real lack of everyday creativity. The sessions with Anna helped me to discover moments of creativity in my day-to-day life. Anna helped to reignite the spark for my own creative vision, and since our time together I have made steps to launch my own project; a direct result of the coaching. Anna is warm, friendly positive, and fun, and she just ‘got me’ from our first call; I found working with Anna came easy and naturally. I got so much more out of our sessions than I could have imagined. Thank you.”

“Words I associate with Anna: creative, dynamic, professional, human, fun, constructively disruptive. She is great to have around - the room lights up a bit more when she arrives!”
Patrick Andrews, Barefoot Lawyer, Human Organising project 2016
“Anna’s coaching was fantastic. It helped me think clearly and creatively.
Working freelance can be very hard, there is no obvious career path and goals can sometimes come adrift.
The coaching process with Anna has ensured that I have a clear direction, increased confidence and have made important life decisions which are now bearing fruit.”
— Helen Cadbury, Crime Novelist 2014
“Anna!! Her bounding enthusiasm and interesting ideas. Also I like meeting others and helping them with my thoughts in our Creative group coaching masterminding sessions.”

“I have just had a 'Spatial Goal Setting' session with Anna from Open To Create… to visualise the launch of Hartley & Soul. It was an amazing experience. I had never done anything like this before. She set up the framework at the beginning, guided me through the process with clarity and efficiency. I've come away with a crystal clear picture and a distinct feeling of what I want the event to look and feel like. Anna has managed to take me out of a feeling of overwhelm into one of excitement. Thank you Anna, that was fantastic!”
Marianne Hartley, Brand Consultant & Designer, author of Align & Shine, 2012
"I started my session with Anna, nervous about this huge sense of overwhelm that I was experiencing in the development of the next phase of my life. I had some big decisions to make and was feeling anxious about making a mistake. When she began to ask me questions, I noticed myself beginning to calm. She kept asking me really grounding questions and I realized that I trusted her because, in her voice, was the confidence that there was a 'way' and that together we were finding it. She did not judge - she empathised. And the tension began to unravel... at just the right pace. By the time we were done, I was reassured that I couldn't really make any mistakes and that it was ok to slow it down to suit my own pace and not just those of my ambitions. Really great job, Anna - thank you so much."
