“My clients are bright, maverick, creative and non-conformist.

I work with different thinkers, people who won’t stay in their lane and who question the way things should be. People like me - quirky but effective. My clients include billionaires, CEOs, surgeons, start-up founders, senior execs, investment bankers, entrepreneurs, creatives, musicians, lawyers....

Some of them are corporate and some of them are neurodivergent. But they’re all highly successful, brilliant thinkers, doing things differently.””

Coaching Feedback

  • "The key for me was having the opportunity to speak to someone I felt safe with to explore and process my feelings, responses etc and identify improvements. Helena did this brilliantly, and gently, but consistently probed and pushed me out of my comfort zone, but in a way which felt supportive and safe. So it was really effective, as I came out of my sessions feeling clear, positive and focused on what I was going to do. It’s also helped me to work in a more reflective way."

    Coaching Client

  • "I recommend you whenever I get the chance! You had such a wonderful impact on my life. Thank you so much for everything. I can't believe where I was when I met you vs where I'm at today."

    Kerry

  • "Hi Helena - I just wanted to say thank you for yesterday's session!! It feels like lots of small, quite obvious, puzzle pieces have clicked, both during the session and since. I also realised that I don't know if I've said how much I enjoy our sessions and how much they've helped me, but they (you!!) are awesome and I love them! Have a wonderful day."

    Economist & ex-International Athlete

  • "Through it all, and through the madness of childcare and return to work, I've felt a core thread of stability in myself at work – where I want to be and how I want to play it, and that has given me great strength. It’s been a real thread to follow and cling to when all else has gone wrong. Thank you so much for setting me on my feet so thoroughly. Honestly it has been one of the greatest gifts I have ever had."

    Coaching Client

  • "Thank you so much for setting me on my feet so thoroughly. Honestly, it's been one of the greatest gifts I've ever had."

    MD, Charity

  • "This was a revelation, a turning point for me - only made possible by Helena’s persistence in creating a safe space for me to tap into my own vulnerability to reach my own (surprising!) conclusions."

    Civil Servant

  • "Everything feels like a jigsaw puzzle whose edges I have just finished. Very satisfying."

    MD, Charity

  • "Knowing when to ‘speak truth in love’, while remaining supportive is extremely important in coaching. Helena has mastered this balance magnificently."

    Author & Screen Writer

  • "Knowing I didn't have to 'hide' elements of myself (my neurodiversity, my sexuality) was important and really helped the experience be productive."

Speaking Feedback

  • "Meeting you at the Ashridge conference was a key moment in my journey towards this moment - it emboldened me and gave me more confidence to advocate for myself. Particularly the confidence to challenge the belief that ‘brainy’ people are just doing fine so don’t need help. So thank you for showing up as you and delivering as you did that day."

  • "Your Ashridge session also gave me some confidence and inspiration to prepare some live sessions for my organisation. I delivered the first of them a few weeks ago and they were very well received (plus I had a blast ‘performing’). At the end of the session I was touched to meet others at various parts of their own and their children’s journey in ADHD, there were some tears and new relationships forged amongst that group who will go on supporting one another."

Training Feedback

  • "A huge thank you to Helena Territt for spending some time with us on #internationalwomensday and sharing her advice, knowledge and wisdom (not to mention a few funny anecdotes 😁) at our wellbeing workshop session today. An extremely informative and enjoyable session with some important takeaways for all genders, including how to create psychological safety for a better working environment."

    HCML Rehabilitation Solutions (Public LinkedIn Post)

  • "I just wanted to say that the coaching was the most meaningful and helpful session I’ve had on ADHD since I was diagnosed. I’ve spoken to so many people and the general vibe has been, "you can try and organise yourself a little more but it’s hard" (including a 1.5 hour discussion I had with Lexxic). I left your session feeling like I understood myself so much better."
