What our Clients say:

Madeleine is a knowledgeable and resourceful person who is a professional in her field. I recently worked with Madeleine to ascertain the true strengths of my business; as a result I gained definitive clarity and am truly grateful.”

Jean Flower - IFA

"Madeleine worked with me .... to help me sort out my CV and practise interview techniques with me after I took voluntary redundancy. I found her direct, honest and constructive approach enormously supportive. I found Madeleine did not pull any punches which really helped me prepare for a tough 3 stage interview resulting in a offer of a more senior role with the opportunity of a promising career. I would strongly recommend her for outplacement services to support staff in what is normally a stressful time."

Claire Sedge - Financial Times

"I came to Madeleine at a time when I knew I was unhappy and in need of a significant change in my career direction, but without any clear understanding of what the way forward should be.

Madeleine’s ability to draw out of me what my work preferences are was very helpful. She helped me see beyond my current situation and pressures to the potential I have and that changes are not only possible but exciting!

I now feel I have confirmed a direction and am ready to start to move forward into new things."

Simon Andrews - Business Analyst

"Since we met a while ago things have continued to improve. Changing work has been such a positive challenge, that I am grateful each day for that little push you have given to help make that happen. "

Colleen Balston - career coaching client


"Before I met you, I went through "cycles" in my life; at their top I used to have a bit of self confidence and would set myself goals and achieve them, and at the bottom of each I would lose that self confidence, allow other peoples needs to take priority over my own, and feel a bit of a victim. However, even at the top of those cycles I would doubt whether I deserved the self-confidence and success I had, and at the bottom there was a part of me that felt I was where I deserved to be. That is what you have helped me to change; now I take more pleasure and pride in what I achieve and can forgive myself my failings. I believe that in the future, the cycles will change so that the troughs are not as deep or as wide, and that the sky is the limit for the peaks! Thank you very much, and I'm sure there will be more things that you can help me learn in the future."

Cathy Simms - Life coaching client


"I just wanted to say a big thank you for all the help and support you gave in my search for a new job. You motivated me at just the right time and to have someone providing such good advice has been invaluable. Getting my cv onto two pages, which I thought was impossible, and helping to produce a snappy covering letter lead to a number of companies showing interest in my experience and to my being called to interview at two organisations. I have now accepted a position at one of my top target companies. I would be very happy to recommend you to anyone who was looking for advice, help and support in their career."

Elizabeth May - Intellectual Property Solicitor, NW2


"Having reached a significant crossroads in my working life recently, it was only after a few visits to Madeleine Moore at Lifescales that I was able to work out in my own mind what my next move should be. As a result of those sessions, I am now running my own business and doing what I've always done best and enjoy the most. Another important result of the sessions with Lifescales is that I've been able to achieve a better balance between my family life and work life. I would highly recommend a visit to Lifescales for anyone who might be in a similar position or facing tough decisions at work. In my opinion, such potentially life changing decisions are best worked out with the help of someone other than those closest to you."

"I came to LifeScales with no real expectations, having been through a traumatic couple of years, I admit I was a bit lost for purpose or direction. What the sessions gave me was security- an aim to look at other professions where I would feel most suited. I realised that my career path had been to please other people, but the counselling made me realise that I was the most important element. Now I am working again and I'm at the happiest I have been in years in a role I feel secure in."

Noel Edmunds

"I would like to thank you for the support and advice that you have given me, and the changes that this made to my CV have assisted enormously in being able to move back into the main stream of work where I am most content. Once I had made the changes, I had significantly more interest and responses from agents ." "The initial consultation developed a structure that best suited my individual needs. The ability to "tailor" a programme is extremely useful."

David Rudd
Operations Director
Easthams Contract Interiors Division
Fraser Eagle Group


"I really feel I have landed on my feet and am very grateful to you for all the help and guidance you gave me. I am sure that, without it, I would not have been offered the position."

Miss Natalie Kingston
Marketing/Sales Assistant
Brooks-Hill Ltd


"The career coaching sessions gave me dedicated time and I appreciated an independent view from the counselling. I found the skills and 'needs from work' analysis most useful, along with the ability to air and develop ideas I had already started to form. Everything was always discussed or challenged in a constructive way and it helped me take some brave steps to change my life for the better."

Deborah Hering
Planning Director
Kingstons Financial Planning Limited


"Thank you for all your help when we came to see you. It was definitely the motivational push we needed to do things. I am recommending you to everyone I know!"

Helen and Nick Dowling


"Visiting LifeScales proved to be very valuable. Madeleine certainly helped in bringing back my self-esteem and gave me the confidence to set up my own business and go out into the marketplace and win customers!"
