An Interview With A HATCHED Coaching Client

We’re so lucky (and thankful!) to one of our coaching clients for sharing their story and coaching experiences with Helena Territt from HATCHED.

What made you decide on Helena as a coach?

I decided on Helena as my coach, because I’m a Surgeon with ADHD. I was having difficulty at work, managing my ADHD and having a healthy work life balance and managing my personal relationships. I was just trying to find any way of helping and improving myself.

How did you find working with Helena?

Working with Helena, to put it mildly, is fucking incredible. She’s honestly changed my life. I’m a much more calm person, my work relaxation balance has improved, I’m more composed at work, I get overwhelmed less and recover from them quickly. I’m consistently on time, I’ve lost 4 stone in weight, I’m confident with public speaking and improved my sleep. I’ve also regularly maintained new positive habits for multiple years now. She’s helped me with so many different aspects of my life I’ve lost count. 

How would you describe her as a coach?

There aren’t enough superlatives to describe Helena, but in one word she is amazing! She’s empathetic, super positive and supportive. She properly cares about her work and her clients. She also bends over backwards and is really accommodating and flexible. She’s honestly always there for me. Even if there’s an emergency or something big happened in my life, I know she’s always there, as she goes above and beyond as a coach and I really appreciate it and will never forget it.

Did Helena and the coaching meet your expectations?

“You surpass my expectations because not only did you help me with my work difficulties, but you also helped me to get more structure, stability and routine in my life. I’m now able to pick up and maintain multiple new habits. I’ve been able to achieve things that I could only dream of being able to achieving and some things I never thought possible.”

How could she improve?

Nothing. 

Would you recommend her to others and work with her again?

I would 100% recommend others to work with her. I recommend her to everyone with or without ADHD. She specialises in higher functions and high performance people, which matches my job and also with ADHD, which matches my brain - so we really clicked and I have honestly loved working with her. Originally I got Access To Work funding from the government for my coaching sessions, however that’s now expired and I happily pay privately for my coaching sessions.I often tell Helena that if you’d told me a few years ago that I would be paying hundreds of pounds a month to discuss things with someone, I would’ve laughed at you and given you a list of better things to spend your money on. But after 4 years of working with her I now think she’s priceless!
