WHAT IS COACHING AND MENTORING?

I was looking for a life coach and my mother worked with Tillie in her professional capacity and suggested Tillie to me. I chose to work with her as it is easy for me to share what is on my heart, she is emphatic, understanding and she creates a safe space for me to talk to her and learn more about myself. I have gained tremendous insight into myself and my life situations. I have grown so much already as a young adult, and have learned to handle situations better, communicate better and set better boundaries. I would recommend Tillie to any young person who wants to work on themselves and understand themselves better.

I found Tillie after seeing the change in my daughter when being coached by Tillie. Through coaching, I could let go of the past and learn to apply healthy boundaries going forward. I love the fact that she allowed me to open up, especially about my past, so that I could get rid of all the ANTS in my head (anti-negative thinking syndromes). I learned to not always hope things would change, but I could change to achieve what I want. Tillie is someone you can open up to, with loads of knowledge, insight, understanding, wisdom and a sound mind of the facts of life. Tillie is an extreme inspiration in my life and that of my family.

After my family and I immigrated to Germany, I went through a terrible time emotionally. I was struggling to find my way and rebuild a life filled with all the zest I had before. I posted on a Facebook group anonymously as my last resort to getting some outside perspective and out of sheer desperation for needing change within myself. Tillie was one of the many comments and something about her reply stuck with me enough to reach out to her. And so the journey began. I hoped to understand myself and become the best version of myself and to focus on personal growth to the highest degree. From the first call, the way Tillie interpreted me and what I needed was what stood out for me. The fact that she is also an amazing person helps too! I am so proud of how my perspective has changed and how I have stepped out of my black-and-white viewpoint and learnt to understand myself and in turn others. One of my 5 values is making a difference and my growth has influenced 5 of my closest family members to work with Tillie as well on their own growth and this has impacted not only their lives personally, but us as a family as well. Every session changed more of me that I knew needed changing or could be bettered with change. I learn more and more and more how to deal better with others. The best part of the coaching is understanding my traits and values and how they impact every element of my life as well as simply have a soundboard when I need one. I am a better listener, I have learnt it is ok to have boundaries and I have learnt how to believe in myself again. I surprised myself through the coaching, I always longed to understand myself better and now I completely do. My favourite thing about working with Tillie is the impromptu conversations that flow from our sessions. Working with Tillie is like a vessel to unlock yourself to yourself and in doing so you allow yourself to become the best version of yourself and in turn you better every aspect of your life. My expectations were met 110%, in fact I can’t imagine living my life without Tillie as my coach. I would recommend this coaching service to a friend ALL THE TIME!

My time and work with Tillie has truly improved my life. All values are important, yet life gets simpler when you know your most important (top 5) and what the marvellous course of your life looks like. In summary, direction. Not only was she an excellent coach, but graceful and compassionate when times were really tough. She was so confident and supportive of me, that I felt like a winner, the whole way through; even when I truly felt like I was falling apart! Thank you for your time and your passion.

I found Tillie via an online search and I felt comfortable with her from the beginning. She has helped me with support structure, thinking before I do and being comfortable with myself. I now find myself able to think rationally, staying calm during a stressful situation and managing my life better. I hoped to get guidance, advice and someone to talk to from coaching and mentoring and my expectations were most definitely met. I have surprised myself, I did not think I would have made it through the past few months, I don’t rely on many people and definitely not on people I barely know. My favourite thing about working with Tillie is her straightforward approach, not beating around the bush and bringing me to my senses when I need it most. Her coaching service is easy, calm, and constructive and I think everyone needs a sound mind and guidance in this rat race. I would definitely recommend Tillie to anyone who is considering coaching and mentoring.

Tillie is amazing. Our roads crossed just at the right time and I am so thankful I met her. She helped me so much, especially with boundaries (something I was struggling with a lot). You think you know yourself, but I learned so much in the process of working with her and it helped tremendously – not only in my personal life but work as well. Although I am still sometimes struggling to say no and very easily feel guilty when I do, I am definitely growing into a person with better boundaries and less anxiety. Furthermore learning more about my core values has helped me make life-changing decisions regarding my work and in what direction I would like to take my business. I can refer Tillie to anyone who is serious about personal growth and self-development. Tillie does not only have the knowledge, but also a wonderful way with people, and a lot of patience (she needed to have with me 😉 which I appreciate. She knew when to give me grace and also when to maybe “nudge” or ask the right questions when she saw that I was holding back the process. Usually, there was a reason for this and then we either worked through it or Tillie gave me another solution that suited my personality so that we could carry on with the process of self-discovery (like changing from a hard copy book to audio!). Thank you so much Tillie our sessions were life-changing!

I don’t know how to thank you Tillie, or thank my good luck for bringing you into my life… Thank you for turning my life 360°, for showing me my own light & teaching me self-worth; acceptance & self-love. Thank you for fixing me & healing me. I owe you more than just mere words. Thanks for being my FAIRY GOD MOTHER.

I was looking for a coach and found some people on Bark. Tillie was the only person who phoned me and that impressed me a lot, I knew she would go the extra mile to help me. I went for a session to meet her and we clicked straight away. Tillie helped me to grow as a person, she has such good energy and for the first time I could feel like I could really open up to someone, just by talking to her and her guidance I learned a lot about myself and I cannot thank her enough. Tillie helped me gain the confidence to accept myself, flaws and all. I used to have this image in my head that I can’t be loved if I’m not perfect, and she showed me that I am perfect in my own way and that I should embrace the things that make me unique. It might sound cliche, but it changed my life. I loved how she was always there for me, if I went through something I struggled with, she was always open for a WhatsApp or a call and never made me feel like I am bothering her. She became a friend through the process and I know that if I ever need help with something Tillie will always be there, willing to help with a lot of love and grace. 10/10 I would recommend her. Thank you Tillie.

So the step to go out there and find help and coaching and staying with it in order to gain larger goals in all aspects of my life, that is worth something, that is worth so much more than I can express, for without these steps, I would still be in the same space I have been for a very long time. Once again thank you for helping me with this step and this journey.

Tillie helped me to clearly articulate and define my core values, which impacted other aspects of my life. With Tillie’s supportive coaching style, I was able to realized my strengths and obtained a greater sense of purpose. I’m definitely more confident and fulfilled in general. She’s great at understanding the whole person and I would highly recommend her for anyone looking to make changes in their life for greater overall satisfaction. Tillie brings great communication, professionalism and quality to her work

My coaching experience is one of an “ongoing  success story.” I entered into coaching at an emotionally burnt out stage, not expecting anything – if not just a little emotional healing.  Through the process of coaching with Tillie and doing my personality profiles on different platforms, I found myself again in the confirmation of whom I am in an unexpected but “ah-ha” way.  To know one’s self in a good way is like looking in the mirror and like what you are seeing.  To know your core values is fundamental to delve into the “self” and that leads to growth and emotional wellbeing. To do this with a coach that is so passionate about her field and so non-judgemental and committed to your growth and understanding of your own clockwork was a blessing. This “work in progress ” that is my life was changed in a fundamental way at a time when I truly needed it.
