Susan Telford shines a strong yet gentle Light on the process of Awakening to Awareness. In this Light, I was able to see more clearly what had been blocking me from receiving my heart’s deepest desire—coming home to myself. I can now live freely in that place, unfettered by stories of the past or concerns for the future. And if/when I forget that reality, there are all these little touchstones she brought to our time together: a suggestion here, a poem there, some image that can bring me back to center. I’d spent most of my life experiencing myself as my own worst enemy. Susan helped me transcend this bleak image to find in mySelf my very best friend. It is a priceless gift that continues to unfold in my life today. I am so very grateful for our time together, and all that we shared during these coaching sessions.

I couldn’t possibly do Susan Telford justice by writing her a testimonial because I can’t actually express in words how much she has helped me in the last year. However, what I can say is that I will be forever grateful to her for her compassion, insights, coaching, and spiritual midwifery. I met Susan in January 2020 and knew almost immediately I wanted to work with her. I was lucky enough and wise enough to gift myself six months of working with Susan. I can honestly say that I would work with her every week for the rest of my life if I could - I love what she offers that much . Susan has helped me make 2020 the most meaningful and beautiful year of my life and that is saying something. 2020 really! Susan Telford is pure gold, salt of the Earth, and someone you want guiding you whether you are seeking self-realisation, creativity, intuition, or greater peace. I am dearly indebted to her. Susan has been my beacon in guiding light.

"I think taking a coaching session with a good coach is invaluable. I know it can seem expensive or a luxury but each time I have given myself the gift of a coaching session my life has changed for the better. A good coach listens, sees, then brings their own wisdom to meet yours. The trick is to find such a coach. Susan Telford. I’ve had two sessions with Susan and some chats in her Facebook group. Through her life experience, her study and probably her natural intuition, she has a rare clarity of sight that helped me find my path again when I was floundering. She also gave me the gift of confidence again, a helping hand. She is grounded, kind and wise and I highly recommend her coaching to all".
"I can truly say that working with Susan has been life changing. When we found each other, I was at a point of my life where I had started to look for a way back to myself but still felt very lost, had a lot of trouble visualising what I wanted to do and how to get there, and didn’t have the right tools to dig deeper into my own dreams and desires. Thanks to Susan I was able to figure out what my priorities were and what was really important for me and then make a plan to make that all happen. I can say that if it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing right now. At 36 years old I decided to go back to university to do a Fine Arts degree and I couldn’t be happier. One of the things that I enjoyed most about working with Susan was how we navigated through the different stages of my process adapting the tools and work to the circumstances as they showed themselves, touching on themes like creativity, spirituality and even goal setting and productivity strategies. I felt very aligned with Susan throughout and enjoyed being gently confronted when I needed to be. I have been recommending her far and wide and really believe that her approach would work for anyone who, like me, felt paralysed to do what they really felt called to do because of fear or external expectations but were ready to put in the work, particularly if your calling has anything to do with being a creative person. I will be forever grateful for having found Susan and I’m sure her words of wisdom will continue to resonate in my day-to-day life for the rest of my life just as they do now."

“Our very first session gave me a realization so profound that I knew there was no going back. Susan has a way of sitting with you, allowing you to go within and find your own insights in a way I’ve never quite experienced before. When I began working with Susan, I was in the middle of a journey to really claim what it was I wanted to do and own my calling. I was stuck in a job that was big for my ego, but not for my soul. She allowed me to see that by using my own inner wisdom and by bringing out my true self, I could do anything I wanted to do. During our 12 weeks together, I felt more confident and willing to take on huge projects and knew exactly where I was going. By the end, I had produced my first music video and written my first screen play and had tools to keep going back to time and time again. My life has opened up in ways I could not have imagined, including finishing projects I had been working on for 4 years. It has given me the confidence to choose a different life path and believe in my internal compass…..finally. I highly recommend Susan.”
"I loved working with Susan for giving my soul a boost and the nourishment to fulfill me! So often, women spend enormous amounts of time giving and nurturing others to the depletion of their own souls. Working with Susan opened a portal to finding my way back to balance and self care. Susan has such gentle insights and warm wisdom that I felt cocooned in a safe place to delve honestly and deeply into my own constraints and emerge with self compassion and a plan to move forward. I plan to seek Susan’s counsel again, each season, to further nourish my growth and dreams. She is exceptional as a coach and mentor."

This was my first experience working with a life coach, and I was happily surprised how helpful, poignant and practical Susan was in addressing my particular business and personal challenges and opportunities. From our first meeting, Susan identified some immediate mindset shifts I could make to help me reframe how I perceive and understand my relationships with others, particularly in my professional world. This simple change in perspective was worth its weight in gold. And, to boot, Susan is funny, relatable, and simply a joy to work with. I highly recommend Susan without reservation.
“I feel really fortunate to have found and got to work with Susan. From our initial consultation, I knew she was the right coach for me; approachable, positive, truly passionate about personal development and life-long growth, often sharing quotes and thoughts from other inspiring leaders in the personal development space. I found Susan’s coaching style to be professional, reassuring and patient, allowing me the space to think as I answered her questions. As well as that, the responses I received from her often helped open me up to alternative ways of looking at situations. Before starting the coaching I was at a real low in multiple areas of my life. Despite having tried many different types of therapies and treatments that had helped temporarily, I was feeling stuck again. It wasn’t until I had the coaching with Susan, specifically around the area of boundaries that I realised that having weak and at times non-existent boundaries had been one of the main issues. Thanks to having the sessions with Susan, I was able to work through some of the blocks and restrictive thinking I had around this area, as well as gain some tools and new thinking to help assert myself more. Tip: To get the most out of your sessions I would highly recommend filling out the pre-session forms in good time to allow yourself space to reflect on things that have happened in-between sessions. “

“Susan is an amazing intuitive life coach. She has this magical way of holding space for your journey , and saying the right things in the right ways that somehow unlock your power and potential and help empower you into taking positive action in a way that doesn’t feel like action ! Since working with Susan I have become friends with my intuition again, have more energy, and have finally managed to manifest some healing and coaching clients of my own.”
”I had no hesitation in signing up to work with Susan, as in our first session, she put me at ease and gave me the confidence that our work together was going to be transformative. After only 6 sessions, the changes in my life have been really apparent. My confidence in myself has grown and she has helped me untangle some unhelpful restrictions and burdens that I was placing on myself. I am now able to put boundaries in place, put myself first, show myself compassion and I am well on the way to healing from my burnout. Susan helped me to see how important my own self care is, how important boundaries are, but most of all, she has been on my team each week, urging me on and helping me make the changes I have so needed to make. She has a unique understanding of how to heal from burnout. Susan is incredibly kind and wise, but she is absolutely firm when it is needed. It is amazing to have someone on my side, who holds me accountable, has my best interests at the forefront, and works with me every single week to move forward in my life, to a place of greater peace, balance and ease. Her passion for shining the torch for others who have lost their way is 100% authentic and it is from this wise and genuine place, that she offers a strong hand out to other women who are lost or starting to feel seriously off track. I would not hesitate in recommending Susan. From the first session together, your life will start to change, and you will be guided to a new way of living that just works!"

“Susan Telford is a truly remarkable life coach and a pleasure to work with! Susan is gifted with a strong sense of perception to articulate deep underlying beliefs that helped unravel self sabotaging behaviour in my health and business. Aside from valuable aspects of coaching including forming values driven goals with accountability, the most important lesson Susan has taught me is the value of slowing down in order to speed-up towards achieving goals when it comes to recovering from burnout. Now, I am equipped with invaluable knowledge of recognising my old stories and triggers to burnout and be able to ‘pop the bubble’ of thought, so I am able to achieve goals in a new and more sustainable manner.”
