I’d never done life coaching before—let alone really spoken to anyone about my mindset, career direction, or how I live day to day. As a founder and someone still new to the industry, I felt a bit lost and unsure of how to move forward. Working with Farhana has already changed so much for me. She’s helped me break through internal blocks—around how I think, how I handle challenges, and how I approach both my work and personal life. Even in a short time, I feel like a completely different person. What makes Farhana so great is not just her insight, but how easy she is to talk to. She’s open-minded, grounded, professional but warm, and she always knows how to bring clarity when things feel messy. I couldn’t recommend her more highly and I’m so grateful to have her guidance.

Working with Farhana has been truly life-changing. When I made the bold decision to leave my established career in education to pursue a career in the music industry, I had plenty of enthusiasm, ideas and plans, but I needed support in turning them into realistic, actionable steps and identifying the barriers holding me back. Through our fortnightly coaching sessions, Farhana helped me shape my aspirations into clear, achievable goals. Each session left me feeling less overwhelmed and more empowered, with a renewed sense of focus and direction. In just three sessions, I made significant progress towards my career goals and successfully secured an internship in my dream role. Farhana’s encouragement and guidance have given me the confidence to move forward with clarity and purpose. I’ve come away from our coaching not only more confident, but also equipped with practical tools to continue growing in my new career path. The experience has been invaluable, and I’m deeply grateful for her support during my career move.

Farhana is a compassionate, competent, intelligent, patient, receptive, encouraging coach who helped me recognize and recover my own tool kit to improve my situation. I started my journey with Farhana in a space ridden with trauma, self doubt and unease and have gone through so many changes in our short time working together, right into a completely new industry, a pivot of full time to freelance, and able to let go of things that I was too afraid to let go. I got to where I was afraid of professionally going in record time and recovered confidence in myself, my resources, and own answers through the coaching period when I’d been so blocked to recognize, address or endorse beforehand. I’d completely recommend Farhana as a coach, especially people in the music industry and creatives since she has such a breadth of experience, although I do believe her methods and approach are versatile to help most people who are interested in coaching. I have so much gratitude for Farhana for coaching me and being so present in the process. With experience of working with multiple coaches in the past 6 years and even completing a certificate in coaching for leadership myself, I think Farhana is a natural.

Thanks so much for all the help you’ve given me the past 4 months, I didn’t know I needed a coach but now I wish I could continue my sessions with you for longer. I’ve really appreciated having your guidance. I really valued my time with Farhana, coaching seems to come so effortlessly to her! I’d come into the sessions not knowing exactly what I’d want to discuss, and then she’d find or help me find exactly the right thing to bring to the table and we’d have a really valuable conversation that was exactly what I’d need at that point in time. I’d leave feeling so much better about myself, more motivated and with greater clarity about what I was going to do going forward. Whilst I didn’t stick to many of my smaller goals, each conversation helped me get closer to being on the right path to the bigger goal and helped me understand how I can be better at working towards my future goals too. I really appreciated how intently she’d listen to what I was saying and offer well thought out questions that on many occasions made me think about things I’d otherwise not have thought. Often I’d sit there thinking wow that’s such a good question when she’d prompt me. One thing Farhana said that stuck with me was when she asked how I’d feel if I didn’t do the thing I said I wanted to do which really helped me understand my level of commitment to it. I reflect on that even to this day when I think about whether or not I should one day do that thing (build a community for storytellers). I felt so comfortable talking to Farhana and our conversations were always so effortless and enjoyable.

I scheduled a session with Farhana to discuss my career pivot from EA into marketing. Following some job rejection, I'd been struggling to embark on the steps necessary to make the transition and was struggling with imposter syndrome. Farhana helped me realise the value of my transferable skills and find a way to take control of the process, breaking the journey down into manageable steps. Within days of our session I have already started Step 1: building a pitch deck to showcase the Social Media Management services I can offer. Farhana helped me unlock what was holding me back and I'd recommend her to anyone making a career pivot.

Career Pivoter

When I started working with Farhana, I had recently left my job and moved back to Guernsey. I was trying to settle into a new routine while pursuing my passion for music - including preparing to release my first track. I also wanted to get back into a healthier lifestyle and find a part-time job that could support my goals. Our coaching sessions gave me the space to work through all of this with more structure and clarity. Farhana helped me break things down and reflect on what I actually wanted, not just in terms of music, but in my day-to-day life too. She asked thoughtful questions that helped me uncover what was holding me back, and I always felt listened to and supported. Coaching helped me feel more confident about taking action. I found a part-time job, made real progress on my track, and felt like I was finally building a routine that worked for me. It was a really positive experience, and I’m so glad I did it.

...I learned so much from Farhana, not just about the job, but about showing up with more confidence and clarity, especially when things felt overwhelming.

I had the pleasure of working with Farhana during my marketing internship at AEI in London, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better manager. She was always incredibly supportive, approachable, and kind, making me feel welcomed and valued from day one. I learned a lot under her guidance not just about marketing, but also about working with confidence and purpose.
