Client Experiences
Every coaching relationship develops differently.
People come to coaching with different questions, challenges, and hopes for what the process might offer. The reflections below were shared by people I have coached. They describe their individual experiences of our work together, what stood out to them, and what remained with them after our sessions ended.
“I had coaching sessions with Ashraf for several months, and I was very happy to have him as my coach. He is particularly skilled at getting to the heart of an issue. He does this by paying close attention not only to what is being said, but also to non-verbal communication, such as body language, posture and tone of voice. I find his ability to pick up on these subtle signals very impressive.
Ashraf is also very good at keeping me focused and helping me stay on track, rather than allowing me to drift too far away from the subject we are working on.
He is warm, approachable and kind, and I always felt completely at ease with him. I felt able to share anything without fear of being judged. His open and non-judgemental attitude creates a genuine sense of trust and safety.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Ashraf to anyone looking for a perceptive, supportive and trustworthy coach.”

“I came to coaching mainly wanting a space to think. The pace of my work doesn’t leave much room for that, and I wasn’t looking for advice so much as somewhere to put things down and look at them properly.
What stood out was how Ashraf gave space to me during the sessions. He doesn’t rush to fill the gap, he is great at using different tools to inspire me and he asks the question you were hoping to avoid, usually the one that turns out to matter. Very little of the work was him telling me anything.
I came away clearer on what actually deserved my attention, and noticeably calmer about the rest. That combination has held up well after the sessions ended.”

“Ash stands firmly in mindfulness, and his intuition about a client’s energy and feelings is very sharp. He senses something behind or between what has been verbally said. The way he offers his observations is very direct and clear but without judgement. That would often lead me to an awareness or perspective that I would not have gained otherwise.
If you are someone who appreciates honest and direct feedback, rather than only being listened to, Ash can do that for you.”
