Conversations With Impact - Leicester

Cameron mcghie

I have been having conversations with Mark at varying frequencies for a handful of years now. These started as counselling in a tough period in my life, and over time have developed into life and work coaching. I have no doubt that our conversations have been key in overcoming personal issues, achieving professional development and success in my career. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone who is looking for somebody to help them achieve their goals.

After my first session with Mark I felt at ease and comfortable, which says a lot given the stressful position I was in at the time.
I felt that he could help me, and he did.

He has written a book which I used alongside our sessions which was a great aid to be able to go back to in my own time in addition. Its called 'Transform Your Life With Impact' I'd recommend that as well.

Long story short, I couldn't have wished for a better person and I would definitely recommend him.

Good luck !

Mark has been brilliant with me. He made things sound simple and spoke to me in a manner that made complete sense in terms of the issues in my life. He gave me real tangible advice that i can use anytime, anywhere. I would recommend Mark to anybody who is confused or going through challenging situations. We even spoke about future goals and ambitions which i really enjoyed.

I have enjoyed working with Mark. His insights have helped me understand myself and others. He’s given me enough awareness to adapt my behaviour. I am less critical of myself and others, have a much more positive/hopeful outlook. These things have made me more effective and less frustrated which has been noticed and appreciated by my colleagues.
I feel I left each meeting with another piece of the puzzle and something small to put into action. When we started it felt like I was taking baby steps, but I have come a long way.
My struggles are not over, but I now have understanding and tools to help.
Thank you Mark, your assistance is appreciated by me and my family.

I honestly don't know where to begin with describing how much better my life is after my sessions with Mark. I reached out in January 2024 after struggling with health anxiety, depression and low self esteem after putting off speaking to someone by saying 'it's fine, it will pass'.

From our initial session I felt at ease speaking to Mark about my life and never felt judged or silly for feeling the way I did. After the first few sessions, I had a better understanding of myself, how my mind works and that I'm not alone in my battle with mental health. I can say now that I no longer feel dragged down by depression and feel much more focused in living instead of being concerned by the what ifs.

Our recent sessions have been more focused on career development and Mark has been a tremendous help in pushing me to display confidence, explore opportunities and ensuring I am prepped for upcoming interviews. This work resulted in me being offered a new job of which I never would have pursued without the encouragement from Mark and for that I will be forever grateful.

I can't recommend Mark and his IMPACT model enough, he has helped me realise who I am and the impact of our sessions reaches further than the areas we have touched on namely my golf handicap dropping at a significant rate.

Mark, it's been a pleasure.

I have worked with Mark for around three years now and I can thoroughly recommend him. His IMPACT model can help with many aspects of modern life and he has been a trusted confidante and advisor as I have navigated the decisions & challenges related to a couple of recent job changes. He continually helps me to view things in a more positive way and provide a different perspective on a number of important decisions. He has been extremely helpful in helping me find improved focus & productivity in my job, as well as long-term life and retirement planning. I always come away after every meeting with something useful.

I first got in touch with mark about 18 months ago following a recommendation from a friend that he had helped as needed assistance in various elements such as anger, feeling lost and struggling to balance work and personal/family life. Over the coming months mark gave me a fresh outlook on life as well as a far improved perspective along with direct techniques to compact negative thoughts. Cant recommend him enough.

I contacted Mark having been left frustrated by my 4 previous experiences with counselling/therapy. With a very sympathetic ear and clinical expertise, he quickly identified the causes of my issues, explaining them to me in understandable terms and analogies. He has gently challenged me to address my own interpretation of my experiences, thoughts and behaviour and has offered insights and practical ways to act on them and move forward. His IMPACT model cleverly uses tried-and-tested techniques whilst allowing you the room to find your own path to resolving problems, which is empowering. Where appropriate, Mark willingly uses his own life experiences to mirror your own, which makes the interaction more personal and leaves you feeling you have been understood. Whilst still on a journey, I'm confident that I'm now in possession of the best map I could possibly have. The future's bright! Thanks Mark.
