Testimonials
Real stories from people we’ve supported through Access to Work:
Emily
“It’s been really nice that I’ve been given the space to find my own solutions, but in a way that has been guided. My Coach’s support and suggestions are a safety net during the sessions … It felt okay for me to not know something, and I didn’t feel pushed past what I am capable of.”
Astrid
“I am now much more confident in my self-resilience and self-management strategies, including at times of increased stress … I really appreciated Brenda’s sensitive and informed approach, drawing from her unique lived experience and varied professional background.”
Learner
“Becky has provided me with insight. I had counselling for Anxiety with EAP and MIND but I found this coaching has explained more about who I am and how to work with this neurological condition … rather than looking at something that holds me back, it can be a positive part of who I am and gives me many skills other people don’t have, that I couldn’t see for myself.”
