Testimonials
As a GP three years into practice, I found my coaching sessions with Dr Lewis exactly what I needed at this point in my career. She created a relaxed, supportive space where I could properly step back and think about how I work, to glean insights I wouldn't have found myself. She’s very easy to talk to and has a natural way of asking the right questions without it ever feeling pressured or over-analysed. The sessions helped me to become clearer on my priorities, feel more confident in how I approach work, and think long term about what I want from my career. We spoke about what aspects of work I enjoy, and which areas cause stress or discontent. I came away feeling more settled and with a better sense of balance, able to more clearly prioritise where I wanted my career to head in the future and how to shape this. I’d definitely recommend her to other GPs who want some time and space to reflect and create longevity and reward in their work. Dr Louise D
I was very aware of feeling dissatisfied with certain aspects of my working week. Anna gave me the opportunity to share my feelings and outline/ provide myself some clarity on what I was hoping for from the sessions as initially I was not sure what I wanted from them. Anna was warm, empathic and professional at all times. She gave me the opportunity to talk through the issues that I was facing day to day and with skilled questioning allowed me to find some solutions to my own issues. They were solutions that were small, realistic and that I was able to implement straight away allowing me to see the immediate impact of these. The second session allowed me to identify some root causes of why I was feeling the way I was and again Anna very carefully steered me through this allowing me to understand how to tackle some of the emotions that I feel day to day. I have already made changes in my day to day practice / personal life as a result. These have had a positive impact on my well being day to day. Dr Pip S
I am a GP and have recently stepped into the senior management lead role in my practice. I have had a series of coaching sessions with Anna over a 5 month period and in that time have become more focused and decisive in my time management and more professional in the handling of relationships at work. Anna's reflective listening, gentle questioning and help in goal setting has helped me to put boundaries in place between my various job roles and carve out time in my week to deliver on them more effectively. I feel more in control of my work and more confident in my leadership abilities.
I would highly recommend Anna to anyone in a leadership position in General Practice or the wider NHS. Dr Kirsten R
