Luckily for me, our business implemented Return to Work coaching and I leapt at the chance to work with Victoria. She gave me the space to voice my concerns, challenged me productively on the priority of certain worries, and helped me to navigate my return to work so that it was super successful and (dare I say!) seamless. I really enjoyed my time working with Victoria, she’s knowledgeable, empathetic and very solutions focused.
