Testimonials

"I am deeply grateful to Merly for her incredible advice, support, and unwavering encouragement. After a disappointing experience with a previous career coach, I was hesitant to try again. However, Merly exceeded all my expectations. From our very first session, she was a breath of fresh air: compassionate, insightful, and genuinely invested in my success. Merly brings a wealth of knowledge and strategic guidance to every conversation. Her creative problem solving consistently led me to ideas and opportunities I would never have discovered on my own. Thanks to her guidance, I now feel genuinely confident about transitioning into a new career field. More than just a coach, Merly has been a true advocate, believing in my potential even when I had doubts. She has empowered me to research effectively, network with purpose, identify areas to upskill, and present myself to potential employers in a way that truly reflects my abilities, personality, and experience. What makes Merly especially remarkable is how much heart she brings to what she does. She gives her full self to the process and deeply cares about the people she works with. I can’t recommend her highly enough."

"Merly's cheerful, positive but realistic attitude is a breath of fresh air. Her knowledge of different fields has allowed me to 'think outside the box', an easy situation to get stuck in when you have been in one career or industry for a long time. She goes the extra mile to help and has provided me with many different avenues to consider; again, invaluable when you have been stuck in a certain mindset for too long. She also understands the pressures of making big changes, and that makes her pace, delivery and suggestions top-notch. 

I feel very lucky to have been teamed up with her and do not doubt it has helped me to get onto the right path at the right pace."

"Since starting with Merly, I’ve noticed a positive shift in my confidence and sense of professional identity. Her extensive experience in workplace culture and recruitment ensures I leave each session with invaluable insights and practical tips. Merly creates a safe, non-judgmental space where I can show up as I am. She tailors each session to meet my needs in the moment, whether that’s sharing knowledge, offering reassurance, providing actionable advice, or celebrating my wins. Through our work together, I’ve gone from feeling low in confidence to reconnecting with a sense of pride in my achievements. I highly recommend Merly to anyone looking for supportive and expert career coaching."

"Before working with Merly, I was constantly overwhelmed, juggling a demanding job and family life as a single parent, feeling like I was barely keeping it together. The stress was relentless, and I was on the verge of burnout.

After working with Merly, I feel empowered and in control. I’ve learned how to set clear boundaries between work and family life, and my stress levels have drastically reduced. I now manage my time more effectively and no longer feel like I’m just surviving ... I’m thriving, both in my career and as a mum. I can’t recommend Merly highly enough! Her guidance has been truly life-changing."​

"Thank you, Merly, for your expertise in helping me with my cover letter. This was my first time writing one for a job application, and honestly, I had no idea where to start or what format to follow. During our consultation, you explained everything so clearly and walked me through the best approach. It made such a difference, I left feeling confident and assured. The best part? Not only did I get an interview … I GOT THE JOB! Your advice was invaluable, thank you so much!"​

"I can not stress how important it is to have someone of Merly’s calibre to support you and coach you each impactful step of the way. Sure, you can try to do it by yourself, but her intrinsic knowledge of what will work for you specifically is of high value to me. She is more than a personal cheerleader and kickass fountain of information, she is someone who understands with compassion and generosity."​
