Client Testimonials | Yew Tree Coaching

"I have had the privilege of being coached by Lee in the last few months and cannot recommend him highly enough. Lee is one of the best listeners I have ever come across and always takes the time to properly understand your point. On top of this, he asks absolutely brilliant questions that provide genuine realisations and 'eureka moments' in a very short space of time. I have thoroughly enjoyed my sessions with Lee, leaving each one with a refreshed mindset and the determination to pursue my goals. If you or anyone you know is looking for a coach then Lee is your man."

Greg Thompson Regional Sales Manager

Sporting Client

"He really takes the time to listen, and you feel completely free to be yourself without any constraints. It's changed how I see development — not just as coaching, but as having someone who genuinely supports you through every step.

Lee has a way of asking questions that create real 'aha' moments — things suddenly resonate on a deeper level. Because of the trust he builds, you naturally feel more open to explore even the more vulnerable thoughts, without any sense of judgment. I always look forward to our conversations because I know I'll leave with more clarity."

Josefine Hasbo Boston Legacy FC, NWSL · Denmark National Team

"Working with Lee has had a profound effect on my professional career. His coaching sessions enabled me to explore my strengths and weaknesses, reflect on my work/life balance and totally rethink my goals… Lee's coaching approach and communication skills made the sessions more like chatting with a life-long friend than with an executive coach. I always felt totally at ease, even when discussing emotive and personal topics."

"Lee has been an instrumental mentor the past six months. I highly recommend Lee with his empathetic coaching skills. He has gently guided me successfully in my professional career."

Marilyn Von Hoenning Account Director, EMEA

Themes

What clients consistently experience

Across all coaching engagements, certain themes emerge again and again.

Feeling Truly Heard

Clients consistently describe the experience of deep listening as transformational in itself, often the first time they've felt genuinely understood in a professional context.

'Eureka' Moments

The right question at the right time creates breakthroughs. Clients regularly describe moments of genuine clarity about their goals, their blocks and their next steps that they hadn't been able to reach alone.

Renewed Clarity & Determination

Clients leave sessions with a refreshed mindset and the motivation to act. Not vague inspiration. Specific, personal clarity about what matters and what to do next.

A Note on Confidentiality

Many clients prefer to remain anonymous

Coaching is a deeply personal process. Many of Lee's clients, particularly those in senior corporate or elite sporting roles, prefer their coaching to remain completely private. Testimonials are only ever shared with explicit permission, and many clients are represented here anonymously or not at all.

This is as it should be.
