About Elevating Origins
What our clients think about Elevating Origins
Ger Mulcahy
Technology Leader

I have been very fortunate to have Elizabeth as a peer coach during my training and certification. Elizabeth is an empathetic listener who created space for me to think about and articulate my goals.
She is a wonderful thinking partner in the coaching process and spends time continuously developing her skills and looking for ways to add value to her clients. Her ability to identify insights and help refine their impact through accurate and timely summarisation was particularly helpful to me.
I have no hesitation in recommending clients to Elizabeth, knowing they will get the best possible support.

Elizabeth has the unique ability to stay close to those around her, sense others’ needs and a deep sense of care and comfort – giving her the perfect skillset of a coach. Since working with her as a coachee,
I would recommend Elizabeth due to her ability to draw out insights on behaviours: in almost all our sessions, I left feeling surprised as Elizabeth noticed motivations below my behaviours.
She knows exactly where to probe when needed. In addition, her soft and goal-oriented demeanor is a perfect combination to provide the space to grow and yet still make meaningful progress. I have made such big strides in my growth, thanks to Elizabeth who provided me the north-star.

One of the most beautiful things about Elizabeth is that she is extremely empathetic, while asking thought provoking questions that push me, and make me pause and reflect.
Working with Elizabeth has been transformative for me. Her guidance, combined with her vulnerability in sharing her own experiences, have helped me become the best version of myself and I’m so grateful for her. I have a new sense of clarity and have set meaningful goals (personally and professionally) since working with her. I wholeheartedly recommend Eliza for anyone seeking a professional coach.

I worked together with Elizabeth through a full coaching program in which we addressed the most important blockers in my personal and professional life. She has been professional, detail oriented and respectful in all of our sessions. Since the coaching touches areas which require shaping and development, it takes a certain skill to ensure the coach provides a safe space and builds trust throughout the sessions. Elizabeth has done this wonderfully without slipping into the details too much or moving into a very emotional conversation.
“I recommend working with her, learning about neuroscience, mindfulness and other wonderful techniques to have a better hold on your own life!”

I had the pleasure to work with Elizabeth from 2020 to 2021 in the framework of more or less 5 months of coaching sessions. From the very beginning Elizabeth lead very well-structured sessions where she helped me identify those points where I would like to make progress and with the help of her, I could easily choose the best way to achieve those set goals. Elizabeth has the best soft skills to assist, to walk me through the difficulties. After each session she made sure I have certain homework that helped me develop a clear approach on how to change my career and life path. I can say that after almost 2 years of our sessions I have achieved all the set goals and have made significant progress in all areas we identified with the help of Elizabeth. I am more than satisfied with the results.
“What I liked the most is that Elizabeth not only assisted me but parallelly, without realizing it, she prepared me to be able to carry out future changes in my life independently and confidently.”
I believe she is a very well-prepared professional and has all the necessary soft skills to assist individuals who need some guidance in their path. Her dedication and focus on individuals make the sessions work very effectively and see initial results quickly, let alone her personality which makes the individual feel that the session is a friendly conversation rather than a boring class. I can only recommend her!

I connected with Elizabeth during a time in my life when I was facing a challenging period in my career and personal life.
“She has helped me to understand the main barriers and supported me in finding tangible strategies to apply in overcoming them. Overall I feel like the impact has been great, I have improved in handling my obstacles and I am aware of my own patters. This allows me to act in an effective manner to bypass the issues as they arise.”
I was happy to see during the sessions that she works in a structured way and she is focused in providing tools rather than resolving the as is problems. This equips me to deal with new situations effectively in my future. I would recommend coaching to anyone who is facing a dead end, feel like they would need inspiration or new ways of thinking in order to bring out the best of their own journey. In one word I would describe my experience as professional and worth my time!

A gentle, respectful, resourceful and highly motivating Coaching! I had 12 sessions with Elizabeth over Zoom over a time period of about 9 months. Looking back in our last session on the progress/changes/differences between that one and the first session, I was really impressed. Never would I have thought this to be possible. Due to various bad experiences with different coaches and coaching approaches in the past, I was very sceptical of Coaching in general. I have complex childhood trauma and trauma takes away the power of decision making. It dictated my life since I was little and therapists or coaches telling me that I’d just need to do this or follow these few steps in order to succeed really frustrated me, because I knew it wouldn’t work for me, as trauma often gets in the way. Here’s my experience:
“Elizabeth is not only trauma-informed but also highly interested in learning more about it and how it affects her client’s ability to follow pre-set exercises or action plans.”
Her approach to coaching is therefore very different. And even if you don’t have any known or serious traumas, you will benefit from her gentle and empowering way of guiding you through the sessions.
I was offered options and supportive questions and could always choose what was best for me in any given moment.
Elizabeth would make proposals, always asking if I was ready or up for it or if I’d rather focus on something else.
She really knows how to listen actively and mirror back what was said in form of an encouraging feedback. I tend to become really tense when someone asks me, if I’d like to hear their opinion, and learned to relax with Elizabeth because the feedback was always something that stood out in a positive way or some supporting or interesting fact.
In one particular moment I realized that I needed to take a U-turn and do exactly the opposite of what we were trying to achieve for weeks and that was absolutely fine too. Elizabeth is always ready for that and never pushing nor pulling. This way I could always find MY way and that feels so good! I loved the e-mail coming in after each session in which Elizabeth put together all that was said and achieved that day. The icing on the cake was always the part where she celebrated the wins no matter how big or small.
“I felt heard, taken seriously, accompanied and really empowered. And I have a couple of really good tools in my Toolbox of Life. I highly recommend working with Elizabeth.”
