Hear what my clients are saying…
I would like to thank all of my clients who have kindly given a testimonial.
“I am inspired and motivated by the people I meet in my coaching practice, and I have been enriched by the connections we have made during our sessions. Giving a testimonial helps others to better understand coaching and its impact, and perhaps gives them the incentive or insight they need to make a change too. Thank you for sharing your experiences with others.” Vicki Merrill
"Vicki`s coaching session has been essential for me to obtain my current job. Her experience, knowledge, and coaching skills gave me valuable help and insights for my most important job interview so far. Without her coaching, I would not have the necessary confidence and the ability to perform well in the interview. Her session was tailored to my needs and personalized for the job application, and this demonstrates how she puts a lot of effort and attention into each client and each session. Her session covered many areas, including English fluency, general presentation and interview skills, cultural contextualization, and an assessment of my personal curriculum, strengths, and weaknesses. After her session, I was much more prepared to organize my ideas, focus on the important elements, and be my best in the job interview. I would definitely recommend Vicki to anyone who seeks an excellent professional and wonderful person to help and guide them up to success!"

“Working with Vicki has really given me the confidence to realise that I have the power to change my actions and outcomes. Our work together has enabled me to find the steps and explore ways in which I can change my situation for the better. Throughout the process Vicki has been amazing at keeping our sessions focused and on track will clear and defined action points to carry forward. Overall I can not recommend working with Vicki enough. The progress I have made since starting work with her has completely changed my mindset and I can’t wait to see what the future now holds.”
From E. British living in the UK (fulfillment coaching)
“Vicki gives you a real sense of relaxation in all the coaching sessions and feels very welcoming and easy to talk to. You can really sense the genuine care she has for you and that she wants you to go far with your goal. I always loved the start of the coaching sessions, because she’d really explain in detail that everything is confidential, if I was sitting comfortably and she encouraged me to just be myself, I never felt judged, always just encouraged!
Vicki is so naturally inquistive, she has a real gift for asking just the right questions at the right time –this led to having some amazing breakthrough moments and I have overcome things that I thought I never could. I really felt I had time to think about what was happening for me now and what life could look like and that sparked off so many ideas and gave me motivation! Vicki has a great zest for life and a real sense of wisdom about her and this really shines through! Vicki I can’t thank you enough for all of the coaching sessions you have given me. I genuinely don’t feel I would be where I am now without your help!”
From A. British living in the UK (life coaching/fulfillment coaching)
“Me and Victoria clicked in a very nice way from beginning. We have a great rapport and I always felt comfortable and safe to talk to her about anything. Victoria always had this way of asking me the right questions and to lead me in a very empowering way, pushing with consent and leading me out of my comfort zone. In the end of all the many sessions we had she was always encouraging me towards developing an achievable action plan that I was comfortable with and happy to start moving towards it. She always managed to get my big and unclear goals and break them up in smaller ones to make it all more achievable so I didn’t feel lost. Victoria sometimes challenged me with questions and made me think about layers of importance in many topics and that, sometimes, changed the direction of the session and helped me find out a much bigger values or just to pursue more important ones that was not that clear to me at start. I am forever grateful for all the time we spent together and truly appreciate the amazing person and coach that she is. Thank you, Victoria.”

“……our session really helped me and made me feel so much more confident going into those (job) interviews. Thank you so much for spending that time with me. It really proved invaluable.”
From J. British living in the UK (interview coaching)
“I would like to thank you for your wonderful work you had done for helping me set my goals. Through your coaching I was able to organise myself to achieve my goals by having a to-do plan with specific due dates to accomplish each step of the process. I managed to achieve some of my initial goals and this boosted my confidence to stick to the plan and achieve other goals. I felt very comfortable in all session and was willing to share my doubts and queries knowing that you were there to offer your good advice. It was indeed a fantastic experience!”
From F. Brazilian living in Italy (fulfilment career coaching)
“Overall, I found the coaching process enlightening, thought-provoking and very interesting. But importantly it also produced very practical and actionable results that have made a real difference to my every day and professional life. Throughout the process Vicki was thoroughly professional and I felt completely safe in her hands. She has a very empathetic manner. I was very pleasantly surprised about how much I enjoyed the experience. I learned a lot about myself and as a result I have a much clearer perspective about what really matters to me in both my personal and professional life. If I’m honest, I was a little bit sceptical about what I was going to get out of coaching, but in a relatively short time it soon became apparent what a positive experience it was going to be. I’d highly recommend Vicki to anyone, or any company who is interesting in coaching, I can assure you that you won’t be disappointed.”
From R. British, based in UK (career close and fulfilment coaching)
“I worked with Vicki for a series of 6 coaching sessions, covering a variety of topics that were important to me. Vicki was always professional in her approach to our sessions, providing a zoom link in advance and always attending the sessions on time. I really enjoyed every session with Vicki. She has a calm, thoughtful and thorough approach. She established good rapport very early in our first session and this was enhanced over the following weeks. She is a good, attentive listener and picks up areas that need further questioning or challenge. Vicki helped me to make sense of my concerns, beliefs and of areas where I was feeling a bit overwhelmed by guiding me to set smaller achievable steps towards my goals. I am grateful for all her support and attention.”
