I went to Helen as I needed help on finding a worthwhile career path. Previously, I went from one job to another never finding any satisfaction. With Helenʼs simple but extremely effective techniques I was able to get out of the ʼrutʼ I was in and set myself on the career path I want to take.
I felt completely at ease talking to Helen and could express my feelings in a way I could not have done with family or friends. I now have a clear sense of what I want to do and feel extremely positive about the future. Thanks Helen!

I have no hesitation in recommending this coaching to everyone.

It has helped me to better manage my time, be clearer when communicating with co-workers and employers, become more assertive when dealing with people and generally be a more confident and positive person.

Helen also gave me a lot of practical tips to help with presentations and public speaking which have been invaluable.

The coaching was very helpful and motivating, as was Helen herself. I feel I work much more effectively now, something which has benefited my personal life also.

I first met Helen in one of her Cafe Connect sessions. As a result, I felt it would be beneficial for me to take things to the next stage! I decided to see Helen on a one to one basis. I can categorically say that the difference these sessions have made to my thinking have been surprising!

I would like to say to anyone, like myself, who had any doubts about whether or not this was for them e.g.

... I donʼt know what life coaching isʽ
... I donʼt know if it will help meʽ
... This could be a waste of moneyʽ
... This is just for high flyers!
... My problems are too complicated!
... Sheʼs going to think Iʼm crazy!

"Try it and see!".

Life coaching is about taking control and changing oneʼs life for the better and I found Helenʼs approach to be completely flexible to my needs and my personality. I feel more confident, I can deal with the "bumps in the road" and I am addressing issues that I have procrastinated about for a very long time. I feel more fulfilled and happier than I have for years!

Helen has a lovely manner, perfectly happy to deal with a highly skeptical client who was quickly impressed by down to earth practical help - such as EFT. A useful tool to control emotions and allow the freedom to enjoy the moment.

A totally enjoyable experience!! Helenʼs perfect balance of common sense, empathy and clear direction make Cafe Connect the easy way to achieve your goals. All sessions are carried out in an informal relaxed manner with a touch of Helenʼs enviable down to earth humour and no nonsense approach thrown in.
A few of the simple yet poignent messages i often recall are- "Accept it or deal with it!" and
"Keep doing as you have always done, you will keep getting what you always got"
These can be applied to so many every day situations.
You will come away every week thinking everything is truely possible, and the monthly refreshers keep us focused.
Helens LIfe Coaching should be as compulsory to life as a driving test is to getting on the road!!!

I am fairly switched on as far as positive thinking and not letting things get to me is concerned, however, putting it into practice is not always easy. Helen taught me a technique called EFT, Emotional Freedom Training. It is a subtle process that helped me overcome a hang-up which was causing me some distress. Very liberating and useful for all sorts of life issues. Now I can apply it to just about any tension that life throws at me. Helen supplies all the right tools for the job. Loved Cafe Connect, met some great people and switched off from the days pressures while learning what self belief is all about. Thanks Helen.

I was a bit nervous signing up to attend the Café Connect sessions but I’m so glad I did because I loved every minute of it. Helen has a really friendly approach and, unlike some other workshops, she never puts anyone under pressure to contribute to sessions unless, of course, they wish to do so! I’m not driving a Maserati yet but, every now and again, when I’m grumbling to myself and getting soaking wet on my way home from work, I hear Helen’s little voice in the back of my head with her 101 questions for reframing your perspective and, you know what, those little questions really do make an everyday difference!

Hi
Ever stuck as to what to get someone for Christmasʽʽ

Last year I needed to buy something different from the usual bottle etc:

As luck would have it, I bumped into Helen McDonnell (known her all her life) at our local rugby club.

Few pints later I discovered that Helen had started a new business as a life coach

Not too sure when Jane opened her christmas card what she thoughtof of her voucher for a first visit ʽʽʽʽ

Ask her now!!!! I think she would tell you that she is a much more confident person, buzzing with personality.

Thats how we see her but donʼt ask us ask Jane
