Client Reviews
Hayley is gentle, respectful, responsive and kind. The time that I spend with her allows me to focus on issues that I would not be able to resolve by myself as I wouldn’t give myself the time or the listening ear that she does. Thank you Hayley! I heartily recommend Hayley as a coach!! 😁
As a busy IT professional who has focused on my career, I greatly appreciate Hayley’s guidance and support in helping me shift my focus to other important areas of my life requiring nurturing to balance it out. Hayley’s thoughtful and compassionate approach has made all the difference in my journey towards living a more balanced and fulfilling life. Hayley has been truly instrumental in helping me to achieve my goals.
One of the things I appreciate most about our sessions is how Hayley helped me to define my goals clearly, despite not having a clear idea of what my needs and values were, let alone how to meet them. Before working with Hayley, I had a general sense of what I wanted to achieve but struggled to articulate it due to my lack of self-confidence. Hayley’s guidance and support not only helped me to clarify my vision, but also helped me to build confidence and set achievable goals that I am excited to work towards. Thank you Hayley for helping me to overcome these obstacles and for being a supportive partner in my journey towards self-improvement.
I also appreciate the way Hayley helped me to create routines that align with what I am striving to achieve. Hayley’s insights and suggestions have been invaluable in helping me to develop habits that support my goals. Hayley’s strategies for helping me identify my values and how to meet them resulted in a shift of perspective and change of mindset and also a shift in how confident I have become in an area I was not confident before. I feel like I have a clear roadmap for how to get from where I am now to where I want to be.
The short-term achievable goals that Hayley helped me to set have been a game changer. I used to feel overwhelmed and discouraged by the sheer magnitude of what I wanted to accomplish. But breaking things down into smaller, more manageable pieces has made all the difference. I was able to see the connection from previous feelings to things blocking me, and dedicating time to achieving a goal has left me feeling more energized and motivated. It feels great to see progress every day.
Hayley’s understanding of the things that stop me from achieving my goals has been incredibly insightful. With Hayley’s help, I have been able to identify and address the roadblocks that were holding me back. Hayley’s encouragement and support have given me the confidence to make changes and take risks. I was surprised to find that not only have these changes helped me move closer to my goals, but I also feel more motivated in other areas of my life. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders, and I am excited to keep moving forward.
Finally, I want to thank Hayley for helping me feel more energized and motivated. Before I started working with Hayley, I often felt stuck and unsure of how to move forward. Hayley’s coaching has helped me to tap into my inner drive and stay focused on what matters most. I feel like I have a renewed sense of purpose and direction, and I am excited to see where this journey takes me.
In summary, I want to express my deepest gratitude for the impact Hayley has had on my life. Hayley’s guidance, support, and expertise have been invaluable in helping me to achieve my goals and live my best life. I look forward to continuing to work with Hayley and to see what amazing things we can achieve together.
The sessions are not always easy despite Hayley's kind and gentle approach. At times I have found coaching to be confronting and challenging but by trusting the process, we always seem to be in a better place at the end. I inevitably come away from her sessions with a fresh perspective and ideas that I hadn't previously considered. Thank you Hayley!
I would highly recommend Hayley as a professional to link with on the path to achieving your goals.
Some coaches give fuzzy advice and support that may make you feel good but doesn’t actually move you forwards.
Hayley was able to focus in on my lack of clarity and inaction to see where I was stuck and help me develop concrete actions to move forward. She is a great listener and there is something so valuable about someone who really hears you, understands where you’re trying to go and gives you insight and accountability to get there.
I’ve had several significant breakthroughs working with Hayley and highly recommend her as someone who will help you grow, glow and go!
Amanda
Busy IT Consultant
A journey from professional success to personal fulfilment.
After years of climbing the career ladder, Amanda realised something was missing. While her professional life was thriving, her personal connections were feeling thin. That’s when she turned to coaching—and everything began to shift.
Hello, I am an IT consultant. My name’s Amanda and I have spent the last few years really focusing on career and studying and getting the sort of ideal kind of job, which has led to some other areas in my life needing more focus and really nourishing some other goals.
In my personal life, I started to feel that I didn’t have a strong friendship circle and I didn’t feel close connections with some of my family members. And so I came to Hayley to get some assistance with helping me identify some goals.
Hayley has been really terrific. She came on board, and we’ve been working together for, I think, a month or two. Straight away, Hayley was able to really help me articulate the goals that I kind of had an idea of in the back of my mind, but wasn’t confident enough to say, “This is the goal that I want.”
Hayley really helped me get to my core values and figure out the goals that aligned with those values—the goals I actually wanted to pursue and achieve. Once we’d done that, we had a series of sessions. Hayley has some strategies and processes to go through to help you visualize what you want your life to be and how you want to action those goals.
She helps shift your mindset into a way of thinking differently, perhaps compared to how you have in the past. This has enabled me to feel more positive, more confident, and I’ve now created some tangible steps—breaking down that goal into meaningful, smaller chunks. Every week when we met, I was able to achieve something, which gave me confidence.
So it’s that little bit of building up your confidence every week, every week, every week. I was able to set a really good goal of building up my social network, establishing patterns to communicate more with my friends and family, and setting goals around checking in with myself to see how I felt about that.
Then having some week-to-week goals about catching up with people, checking in with them, and seeing how they felt. Also, having a long-term plan—because this isn’t something that comes naturally to me.
I’m sort of an introverted kind of personality, so for me, I had some strong inhibitions—like reluctance to contact people—and some negative self-talk about how people would react, whether they’d have time, or if they’d reject me.
We took some positive steps to really look at that and shift the way I thought. Hayley had some really great strategies to deal with that. One thing I really enjoyed was the work we did on creating new neural pathways in the brain. They were tiring exercises, but they helped create a new thought pattern.
You could draw connections with your values and what you wanted to achieve. Hayley really is an expert in this and was incredibly helpful in helping me set and achieve my goals.
She also helped me think about long-term strategies for continuing to work on these goals. Since we’ve completed our sessions, I’ve been able to create goals, check in with myself, and stay on track with the things we put in place.I now feel more confident reaching out to people. I’ve made plans for the future, and I no longer carry those old feelings. I really feel like I’ve achieved something through Hayley’s coaching, her advice, and her friendship. Thank you so much.

How clarity and confidence changed everything.
Over six months of coaching, David pushed past mental clutter and burnout to rediscover what drives him. He built personalised tools to stay aligned, focused, and thriving—on his terms.
Hi, my name’s David and I’ve been working with Coach Hayley Gibson for the last six months. I’m a doctor and a shift worker, and I’ve gotta juggle all of that with my friends, my family, and my own personal pursuits.
During this time, Hayley’s been an invaluable coach and guide. She has a really organic way of being able to push past the shields and layers that I’d built up around myself so that I could see what the through lines and the values that were important to me were, and pushed me to get those things in alignment.
She encouraged me to create my own practical strategies and personalized solutions to how I was gonna go about setting goals and creating habits and getting in good mindsets.
So if you are looking for somebody—if you’re looking for a coach who is going to help you or push you to dig past yourself, and a coach who is going to push you to create practical and actionable steps towards the next level that you want to get to—then I would highly recommend you give Hayley Gibson a call.
And I can’t recommend her enough. Thanks.

Career Change for a successful architect
In the middle of a huge career change storm, Hayley was a beacon for a safe journey through the thick of it. We worked together side by side and I am deeply grateful for her constancy in offering powerful tools, knowledge, insights and highly professional help.
In more than one session I had a break through. For example, I realised that I have spent exactly half of my life into a career my heart has never truly been into. This includes years of studying, training and working. I had no idea of which career to jump onto, so with Hayley we worked on my main areas of interests, filtering and refining those into ideas and finally into concepts. At first it was scary, heartbreaking, disheartening and then it all flipped onto excitement, joy, grit, resilience and purpose. We had those talks about “I wish I could just wake up in the morning and don’t feel the drag of a life made of chores”. I feel very lucky I can go through this and find my true path, more so that I could do it supported by Hayley. She is very flexible and very respectful. She knows how to listen and which questions to ask at the right time. She gave me very useful tools that I will continue to use after this work with her. Her passion for her job is contagious, she brings joy and she has always a smile to share. Hayley has certified training, a career change experience herself and keeps everything confidential. I strongly recommend her, if you want to find the fire that keeps burning, the one from your passions and zest for life.

Cultural Change Consultant
Coaching That Brought Me Back to Me
Hayley has been an incredible support in my life for the past 6 months. Hayley was able to guide me to improve my mindset in the areas of my life that matter most to me. Hayley is not only skilled at what she does, she is also very passionate about her craft. Her calm, caring nature and kindness made me feel very safe and acknowledged during our sessions.
Thanks to Hayley’s help, I was able to grow in confidence and feel a sense of peace as I was able to re-align my behaviours with my core values and purpose. I also uncovered insights throughout our sessions that allowed me to move forward with clarity and experience a new-found desire to take action towards my goals.
I wouldn’t have been able to achieve any of this without Hayley’s consistent support and I feel immensely grateful for all her help. I would highly recommend Hayley’s coaching to anyone who is looking to power up their mindset and grow in confidence in their lives. Thank you for everything Hayley!
