Testimonials
Every coaching relationship and experience is different and has its own story.
Take a look at some of the words from previous clients about their experiences of coaching with me and The Opal Lens.
Working with Jen has been fantastic. I had little coaching experience, so I entered it somewhat blindly, unsure of what to expect. However, it has truly helped my confidence in both the workplace and my personal life. I went from second-guessing my value (as someone who struggles with imposter syndrome and anxiety), to truly believing in my skills and finding the courage to voice my opinions. Jen helped me realise that my opinions aren't 'wrong'; they're just a different, valuable perspective, and that I'm sometimes my own worst enemy and always assume the worst. I'm walking away with a practical toolkit I built myself that helps me navigate tricky situations and quiet that 'not enough' voice.

Working with Jen has been a genuinely positive experience from the very start. Although we’ve only recently got introduced and begun coaching together, I am confident in the level of trust and connection we’ve built, which has made a real difference to my business thinking. Jen creates a space where my thoughts and feelings feel completely safe, which has allowed me to gain real clarity and focus around my goals. Her coaching has already helped me make meaningful progress, improve my productivity, and feel more motivated in how I approach my business. I come away from each session clearer, more focused, and confident in the direction I’m moving. Looking forward to evolving our sessions and continuing to tick off my wish list items!

Jen’s background in PR was incredibly valuable throughout our sessions. Because she truly understands the unique pressures and fast-paced nature of agency life, we always got to the heart of the topic quickly, never having to waste time explaining background or context. I would highly recommend Jen’s coaching to any PR agency professionals looking for targeted, industry-aware support.
PR Director, PR Agency
Working with Jen gave me the headspace to think about my life in a completely different way. She helped me look closely at my personal operating model in how I show up at work and how I manage things at home.
Jen brings a rare combination of intellect, emotional intelligence and genuine kindness to her coaching. Because of that, our sessions felt completely safe, while still challenging me to grow. With her support, I’ve been able to map out entirely new decision trees for my life, which changed how I approached big choices. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance.
Johanna Maxwell
Jen is a natural at coaching, she's astute, kind and puts you at ease too. Jen has given me the time and the space to think about aspects of my business and personal development that I wouldn’t normally give myself the chance to.
Every session, we set a clear goal and she is excellent at breaking it down, asking the right questions and most importantly exploring how and whether it’ll actually get done!
Georgi Willison, Founder, Marwhal
I really enjoyed my sessions with Jen. I started working with her during a period between roles when my confidence was starting to wear a bit thin. Jen gave me the space to explore exactly what I wanted from my next step, helping me learn how to show up for myself and go into interviews feeling much better equipped. Having a coach with a PR background was incredibly valuable. Jen completely understood my industry and the types of roles I was targeting, which meant her questioning always had that crucial layer of context. I can't recommend her enough.
