Testimonials

Here is a selection of people who have expanded their confidence and created their personal brands……….

"Following the birth of my child 14 months ago I felt I'd lost my way when it came to my image. I had lost confidence in how I looked & needed a helping hand. During my session with Alison I was taken through colours, styles, accessories & hairstyles that would suit my particular skin tone, shape & hair colouring. Now armed with this knowledge & the colour swatches, I can quickly choose colours & styles (important when you are shopping with a baby) which I know will suit me. I've since had lots of compliments from friends & family on 'my new look' which in turn has boosted my confidence. This is a huge plus for me as I am in the process of setting up my own business. It was brilliant and I really appreciate all the tips - just can't wait to spend the house keeping on some new items!”
Kate, Reflexologist and Mum, Twickenham.


“Alison has totally woken me up to the ins and outs of what works for me stylistically and from a colour point of view. She came up with some really simple but effective ways for me to make the most of what I’ve got and the least of what I’ve got too much of. Her easy manner and ability to listen, coax and interpret meant that Alison made me feel totally comfortable that the suggestions she made were with a comprehensive understanding of who I am and the person I want to portray”
Doug, Marketing Manager, Richmond. Surrey.

“As an interior designer and dedicated shopper I thought I knew a few things about colour and style before my analysis with Alison. After our session I was able to confirm why I pick the clothes I do and it was really reassuring to have Alison explain in depth the reasons why certain clothes make you feel great and others just leave you cold. She gave me the confidence to try some new styles which will really revamp my wardrobe. The day after our session I was motivated to clear out the clothes that I was holding onto that just never felt quite right. It left me feeling liberated and looking forward to my next shopping trip. The tips Alison gave me about creating outfits, including accessories, has allowed me to use my old clothes in so many different combinations giving me the shopping high without spending any money! I have now found that shopping trips are much more focused as I don't waste time on things that I know don't suit me. This not only pleases me but also my husband! I really enjoyed your input and found everything you said made sense- much more detail than I imagined. I liked the fact that we had something to take away with us to digest after the session and reflect upon.”
Jenni, Interior Designer, Hampton.

"I had my style session with Alison a few weeks ago, and it has had an immediate impact on my thoughts about my wardrobe...... I've always been very style conscious, and whilst I would like to think that I get a few things right, I know that I get a lot of things wrong. This was very frustrating on a number of fronts, the obvious things being often unhappy about what I was wearing and the cost of clothes that I no longer wore, but the main thing being I didn't know why some things were a hot and others a miss. Whilst it is early days I feel now that I am better placed to get things right most of the time and this is very exciting, as I am definitely one of those people who feels better about themselves when I know I've got the right outfit on. Alison helped me on a number of things, the main one being what are the right colours and tones for me to wear. I have to admit this was not something that I was clear about, as I often went with clothes that were in fashion that season or defaulted to the winning black shirt and blue jeans combo. I now know that certain colours make me look washed out, others give me a double chin, and some even make my skin look blotchy and that's great because I know to avoid them and instead buy the colours that make me look slim, healthy and with a great complexion, and with Alison’s easy to carry and use colour swatch this should be straight forward. The second area that has helped is with regard to the cut of my clothes, including things like pointed or rounded shoes, tapered or loose fitted shirts / jackets, V-neck or rounded shirts etc. Again very simple to understand and very easy to put into practice. Other things that she helped with were tips about style of clothes based on my personality, the impression I wanted to create and the use of accessories ( it's not just about handbags for girls, but belts and shoes for boys! ). Overall I'm very pleased with the help she provided and look forward to looking good and feeling great more of the time. The added bonus is that Alison herself is great, providing a wonderful service that was informative, easy to understand, and very personal. If you want to understand more about why you look like you do, how this makes you feel and others perceive you, and how you can make quick and easy changes, then I would strongly suggest you give her a call."
Neal, Business Development Director, Hampton Wick.

"Yesterday I bought a yellow top! Amazing since I'd never had the confidence to wear yellow in all of my 32 years!! Alison told me that bright and warm colours suited me and showed me how drab black made me look. As someone who usually spends a lot of winter in all black as I thought it flattered, I'll never wear all black again - I’ll look much more healthy for it! Alison showed me how to accessorise so that my favourite colours blend better with my complexion, and how to give the illusion of being taller - not an easy thing to do when your just over 5ft! Since spending time with Alison, I am a much more efficient shopper, generally picking items up that flatter me. Also I now know that I can wear anything I like, even those "mistake purchases" as long as I wear them with the right colours and accessories. I'll never wear all black again - goodbye to looking ill in the winter time!"
Alex, Market Strategy & Planning Manager, Teddington.

“I thoroughly enjoyed being coached by Alison. A positive and calming person, Alison is easy to talk to and most importantly I felt she really understood me. As a coach, Alison is a great listener and her effective questioning skills challenged me to come up with effective answers and solutions. Alison is energetic, which is infectious, and she really helped me to identify clear steps forward.”
Karen, Human Resources Manager, Portsmouth.
