Testimonials

I would like to thank Refeia for the coaching sessions. I had dreams and aspirations of a new life abroad but was stuck in a rut and struggling with low mood. At the first session I was really happy to hear her say ‘I can see how ready you are to move on'. This cemented the idea for me and made it seem possible. I am feeling so positive at the moment and have given myself the goal of moving abroad during 2024. 

Refeia also supported me in my wellbeing. I was having sleep issues and we discussed helpful hints especially around using the phone and when I started to sleep better my low mood started to improve. I have really started to look after my physical and mental health and made many small changes to improve myself including ‘manifesting’.  Manifesting has really helped my mental health and I have become more aware of my thoughts, feelings and triggers and to recognise past behaviours. I am making a conscious effort to retrain my brain and have already started feeling the benefits. I am now more ‘present’ and am feeling very confident about my future.   Shanaz

 

Refeia has a relaxed and friendly way which makes me feel at ease during my sessions.  Refeia is focused on my needs and provides a safe, non-judgement environment to discuss specific situations I am working through. Initially I was unsure how coaching would be relevant to me but I am so glad I took the opportunity.  Each month Refeia coaches me to make my own decisions and draw my own conclusions which is very empowering.

Earlier this year I reached out, via my network, to find a coach to provide training for my team in (i) work / life balance, and (ii) effective time management. Refeia Zaman (The Holistic Coach) came highly recommended, so I booked her to train my team.

She was personable, extremely knowledgeable in her field, and set the tone of the day, in a relaxed and friendly way.

What has been useful, is that weeks after the training, my team are still talking about it, and have implemented many of her recommendations. What more could I ask for?

I am happy to provide further information over and above this testimonial and cannot recommend Refeia highly enough!

Refeia listened to what we needed and then using her extensive knowledge, provided an EDI training session to bring out the key themes and provided time for discussion and the sharing of ways to practically implement the knowledge. We look forward to arranging more training for our industry over the coming year. Chris Hayes, Managing Director at British Swimming Pool Federation

’I found the coaching sessions with Refeia very helpful. It was an opportunity for me to think about my career path and my future development. The coaching sessions were friendly but very professional. I enjoyed having the space to talk about my career aspirations and how to work towards achieving them, including training and development opportunities which would be beneficial.’  Rasha

I received  monthly coaching sessions from Refeia when I was newly promoted into my first leadership role, whilst also studying for a professional qualification. My coaching sessions have been invaluable during this period of change. Sam

 

My coaching sessions have improved my confidence to deal with challenging situations at work. Refeia has worked with me to reinforce my work boundaries and understand what I can control and what I cannot influence. I can now recognise the physical feelings I experience in challenging situations.  By recognising these feelings I can pause to reflect and allow time to formulate a way forward.  I have found this technique really helpful and I can now make better decisions based on fact not emotions.

Refeia and I have completed work on my interpersonal skills to support me in my new role.  The dynamics of my work relationships have changed; I am now in a role of responsibility for my peers and senior members of my team are now my equals.  Refeia has been patient and allowed me plenty of time to revisit these themes.  I now have the confidence to instigate conversations or professionally challenge where before I would remain quiet.  Refeia has shown me that it is not what I say but how I say it which will produce better outcomes.  I have tried different ways of communicating and have been surprised when I get the outcome I wanted.

I’ve enjoyed my coaching experience and would recommend coaching sessions with Refeia to anyone wishing to make change in their professional or personal lives. Hilary

Having recently returned from maternity leave, I found coaching invaluable. Being able to discuss both work and home life and setting action and goals has made a positive impact and given me much needed boost in confidence. Kesara

'Refeia introduced me to journaling, which enabled me to get the chaos in my head out onto paper. I can honestly say it has changed my life’ David

Refeia’s coaching sessions improved my confidence whilst I was changing work sectors from retail to an office based part-time job. Each month, Refeia coached me to make my own decisions, work independently and included development opportunities. It was a great opportunity for me to improve my work by encouraging me to trust myself and in doing so, I then stepped into a full time role. I really enjoyed and looked forward to my coaching sessions with Refeia and have a lot of techniques now to reinforce my boundaries, understand my limits and how to pave the way for my development and career path.
