TESTIMONIALS
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
In early 2002 I went to see Sue Kennedy and did a course of NLP coaching with her.
I lost my son in a car crash in 1994 and hadn’t dealt with the pain and sorrow properly. I found NLP to be incredibly helpful, intelligent and so interesting. With Sue’s calm kindness and help I have found a peace that continues to improve.
The finish of a bad 5-year relationship and low self esteem all coincided with my treatment. 18 months on and I am now into the happiest and most special relationship with someone and we plan to spend the rest of our lives together.
I have recommended Sue to several people and she has helped them tremendously.

Hi Sue,
This is just a quick note to thank you again for how much you have help me in the past year, when I came to see you. You were able to ascertain very quickly initially with your life chart wheel why I had come to feel so lost and in a terrible state. After every session at your office I felt so much better and could begin to see the way forward. NLP has been such a help that as you know I have decided and have since completed a NLP practitioner’s course.
Having come to you via a recommendation from Liz Pearce who had spoken very highly of you, I am only too happy to recommend you to others, who I am sure will benefit too.
Lots of love,
Silvia x

Over the last year Sue has been an excellent coach. She has helped me tremendously in my personal development and exploring my direction in (work) life. With such great effect, that friends and family tell me that I look and sound better than I have ever done. Which is precisely how I feel, in spite of being in a situation that would have spiralled me into depression in the past.
I think some of Sue’s qualities could be summarised as follows:
- Excellent listener;
- Asks questions that make you stop and think and act;
- Highly perceptive;
- Non-judgmental;
- Connects people;
- Sessions seem effortless.
Below you can find a few examples.
Perceptive listener & asks good questions
When Sue and I first met (she was a consultant with an outplacement agency, I had just been made redundant) there was immediate rapport. She took time in listening to what I had to say and then asked a few very pertinent questions. As a result she was able to identify a number of aspects of my life very quickly, whilst it made me approach the issue at hand from completely new angles. At the end of our meeting I left with a number of very valuable ideas and insights that I wanted to put into action straight away, whilst it had felt like a very open and pleasant conversation.
Non-judgmental
Although Sue will use positive adjectives such as brilliant, excellent and great, she never rejects ideas or behaviour. Instead I found that she guides with exploring the drivers behind thoughts and actions. This has helped me with better understanding what ‘makes me tick’ and feeling comfortable and confident with that.
Connecting people
Sue has introduced me to a number of great people and organisations that have helped me make new friends and set changes in my life in motion. For example, I was able to attend the Anthony Robbins event in London at the very last minute, thanks to Sue introducing me to a friend with a spare ticket. Also, I would never have attended in the first place if Sue had not recommended it and she was right: I will start the Mastery University in September.
Maximum result with minimum effort
Recently Sue and I discussed a very traumatic experience I had eleven years ago. I found that in spite of many very intense and emotional efforts in the past to deal with it, I still had not entirely come to terms with it. At the end of a one-hour session I thought we had made great first step in a long process. However, when Sue asked me what problem I still faced, I realised that the job was already done!
Overall I think that Sue is a great friend and fantastic coach (so I just call her SueperCoach) and I have already recommended her to various friends.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Kind regards,

I have become a different person since working with Sue. NLP and coaching have completely changed the way I look back on the past, forward to the future and I have learned to positively enjoy the present. It has transformed my way of thinking and my memories have been transformed from being rather negative into much happier ones – though still the same past of course but focussing more on the good bits and I see now that there was much more happiness and positively than I realised. I have found out more who I am and also found a considerable joy in living and being. So much goes by without our realising the happiness and joy that can be had in the moment, even when one is going through a bad patch. Joy of course is rather fleeting but it is there for us to grasp and there is a lot of it in little things like the first snowdrop or the scent of a primrose – and all the memories that are associated with them can be very happy ones.

Dear Sue,
Thank you very much for all your help over the last 6 months. I can sincerely say that I wouldn’t be going to live in France to start up my own business without your help.
You did inspire me from the very beginning – being persistent at telling me to really focus on what I really like to do – not just what I have always done or thought I was good at.
At the time when I had completely lost my motivation to pursue my career you helped me to analyse myself and inspired me greatly. You were very creative and balanced in your approach, moving step by step in a very professional and balanced way. Listening and asking questions that made me think in a different way.
Thank you again for your help and inspiration. I hope to see you in France in the near future.
Kind regards.

After my husband died I realised that I was chugging along in a job that was no longer satisfying. I asked for early retirement and got it but I didn’t know how to move on; I was in limbo.
I contacted Sue Kennedy three months before my redundancy and her coaching, together with NLP, aided me to discard old thoughts and negative past emotions that I had clung on to. Sue showed me how to access and live in the present – a tremendous gift. Then with her expert and very patient guidance enabled me to decide my own future.
I am now pursuing MY GOAL helping others and myself in complementary therapy, which has lain dormant in me; using my own intuition and following it I have not been so contented for years.
I thank Sue for lighting the way down my own path of life.

What incredible attention and ‘customer service’ you give to everyone you come into contact with!! – CC – Teddington – 2004.
Your coaching and motivational support is really helping me to make a difference - as always many, many thanks. DL – Walton – 2004.
I have really enjoyed working with you over the past couple of months. My purpose when I came to you was to have a clear vision on what I wanted my life to be like and what sort of job would fit in and compliment that life. This you have helped me gain and so much more.
I have a clear vision of the life I want and am working towards gaining it. You have also helped me identify that I should be number one in my eyes and that I am an equal to Doug. I am now far more aware of my language and the impact I have on others. The language was one of the most difficult but I am making progress. So thank you for all your support and help.
Having realised that there is no magic pill; it is just a case of getting on with it and making the changes. Doug and I have now built a structure that I am comfortable with and which yet embraces change.
Thank you. JP – Harrow – 2004
Your coaching has enabled me to cope with my very stressful job and then to find out what I really wanted to do and to pursue that. I am delighted to say I thoroughly enjoy every moment in my new job!

Many thanks for participating in our Outplacement Programme this week.
As you heard at the event, feedback is extremely positive and attendees feel very motivated to take the next step in their career. Having a success before the end of the course was the icing on the cake.
On a personal note, I very much enjoyed working with you both; you make a great team, yet brought very distinct areas of expertise, knowledge, experience and humour. I’m looking forward to working with you both in the future.
Once again, thank you for making the outplacement event such a success. TT – Richmond. 2006
Testimonial: Sue Kennedy
Sue’s coaching was highly effective at a time when I needed to explore ways of progressing and potential change my career. By using NLP and hypnosis Sue helped me to explore my values and beliefs. With her support I quickly identify the key area that required focus and was able to consider a number of opportunities available to me. After our initial meetings I become excited about the future opportunities. I developed a clearer way of thinking and in turn a new approach to the options available to me.
The work that we did together was over 3 years ago and since this time I have made further life changing decisions with positive outcomes for both myself and in turn my family. It was a great experience working with Sue and I would recommend her to anyone who wants to develop and empower themselves.
Sarah Lightley – 2007
I am focussed and have lost 1 stone. You have helped me to understand how I feel about myself and my feelings for those most dear to me and some that aren’t. Overall my life is changing for the better, I can understand and handle my emotions and am going forward with more optimism. This is also having an effect on my husband therefore creating a most positive attitude, which is so important as we work together.
I continue to pass the word on with regard to your services but if people take no notice then as far as I am concerned this is their loss.
