What people are saying about Sponsored by Mum
R, Devon
“Catherine helped me to focus on what I needed to do in order to make a career change. She helped me to focus on the skills that I already had and how to transfer these into different areas of work. She gave me brilliant feedback on how to create a dynamic CV and allowed me to talk through my muddled ideas until I saw a way forward with my career goals. She was warm and professional at all times and used her vast wealth of experience to give me excellent advice on managing interviews and negotiating tricky professional conversations. As a result of her help and support I had the confidence to apply for jobs that I had never even considered before. She showed a genuine interest in my progress and was there every step of the way to me getting offered not one, but two jobs! I am finally excited for what my future may look like and I would recommend her services to anyone thinking of making change but who isn’t sure just what that change needs to be-Catherine will help you work it out!”

My work with Sponsored by Mum has been eye-opening to help understand why I was always feeling guilty about spending either too much time or not enough on work or family. Setting clear boundaries for each, and not letting work leach into the family time we all need, has been very helpful to move forward 'stuck' projects. I now have a different set of goals for the year to come, with some realistic outcomes and a clear understanding of why I want to be working on these projects, rather than feeling overwhelmed and fearful. Catherine has been very patient and acted as a great sounding board, and also emphasised that it's ok to say 'no' to projects and to prioritise family time over other people's self-imposed deadlines. I would recommend Sponsored by Mum for the personal approach, the genuine enthusiasm for seeing things change, and for the patience when you are struggling to see the wood for the trees.
