Before I started my coaching sessions with Iyshea, I wasn't in a very good place mentally and hadn’t been for some time. Being such a closed book. I often thought people had an opinion of me or that I would be judged. I lost my job of 5 years due to lockdown in 2020 and it made me realise that not everything in life is meant to be. Dealing with depression and anxiety at times isn't great at all but I have now learnt that it’s good to speak on how you feel. I chose coaching for focus and direction, because it's something that I haven't tried before and it's a very warm and open forum with no judgement. Iyshea is an amazing coach, I feel that we have a great rapport because she's very empathetic and doesn't judge. I love the communication that I have with Iyshea because she is very understanding, and we have such great rapport which is even better. I trust her so I'm more open, as I can be reserved. When I first started my sessions with Iyshea I wasn't really in a great place but now I'm feeling much better, a lot more confident and positive all around just glowing! late last year I was finally accepted into a job, something totally out of my comfort zone and my new managers gave me a chance to excel which I am so thankful for. One door closes and another door opens! The biggest thing that I have achieved is self-acceptance! Feeling a lot more confident and more open with myself! I feel that culturally, there is a stigma with black people that do have mental health issues. Sometimes we find it hard to open up on how we feel, but we should! My message for anyone, is It’s always great to plan goals for the future, you can effectively set yourself a target to reach. It's not an easy process but it'll be worth it in the end once you apply the tools that Iyshea has put into place with you. Take each day as it comes. Be open to acceptance for yourself, be proud of who you are! Love yourself, I know sometimes we can't see what other people see, but in time you will. Finally, have patience, take the lessons on board. Once you’re on the right path you will be fine, have faith! Hi Iyshea, Thank you for our sessions, they have helped me so much, thank you for your guidance and strength it has been such a great help. Well done and a massive, big up to my coach iyshea, thank you lovely!
