Real feedback from real people who've done the work
"My business has been trading for 12 years and in that time there has been lots of change, both professionally and personally. I've learned so much but had become increasingly aware that I was repeatedly getting stuck in the same areas.Sharon Starkey – CEO
There were aspects of my role that I found challenging, particularly in areas others seemed to manage with ease. I was also interested in understanding how my approach affected the wider team. I initially approached Alan to help me navigate difficult conversations, address topics I tended to avoid and reduce unnecessary complexity so the business could operate more effectively.
Alan has played a key role in helping me develop a deeper understanding of myself, my values, the reasons behind my behaviours and the impact they can have on others. Most importantly, he has worked with me to address these areas and change learned patterns that were having a negative effect.
In a relatively short space of time, Alan has had an astounding impact on me and the business. The results are significant; my thinking is clearer, decisions feel more straightforward and situations that once felt difficult are now far easier to manage.
From our first conversation, Alan was clear about how he could help and the level of commitment required, which allowed me to make a well-informed decision. His logical approach, calm manner, insight and expertise have been invaluable. I've seen positive and lasting change not only in my business, but across all areas of my life.
I am only disappointed I didn't find Alan sooner."

"Working with Alan has had a powerful impact on both my mindset and how I lead my business. Through our sessions, I feel calmer, more grounded, and much more myself, with far less of the imposter feelings that can sometimes surface when building something ambitious. Alan has helped me develop practical tools to stay centred, focused, and intentional, even during high-pressure moments.Alex Beardsley – Founder & CEO
What makes Alan's coaching so valuable is his ability to combine grounded perspective with strategic thinking. He understands that as founders and leaders, we are deeply connected to the success of our businesses, and strengthening our mindset is not optional, it is essential. Alan has become an integral part of my ongoing business strategy, supporting me to lead with clarity, confidence, and authenticity. I highly recommend Alan Johnson Personal Coaching to anyone who wants to build both personal resilience and sustainable business growth."

"I knew I had to address deep rooted and long held issues – but kept putting it off, thinking I didn't have time for months of counselling. I was introduced to Alan through a contact who said he thought Alan's approach would be helpful. I met Alan and immediately liked his no nonsense, down to earth approach. After an initial discussion, Alan said that he thought that 3 sessions would sort out my issues – so I agreed to try. Well he was wrong! 2 sessions later and we both agreed that I didn't need the third!Karen Eckstein- Owner
I could feel the difference, in my personal and work life – people can see the difference, physically as well as behaviourally – I feel lighter (I'm not carrying life long emotional baggage) and I manage work and personal relationships better. I would recommend Alan to anyone who is struggling with internal issues that they just can't shift."

"When I first went to see Alan I was in a constant state of stress. Anxious, reactive, stuck in relationship patterns I could not break and constantly trying to fix everything around me. I felt like I was on autopilot in my own life. Within a few sessions something shifted. Alan did not just give advice. He changed my perspective. He helped me understand my attachment style, my reactions, my need for external validation and how I was unconsciously fuelling the very dynamics I was trying to fix. What is powerful about Alan is he does not make you dependent on him. He teaches you how to regulate yourself. He challenges you without attacking you. He gives you clarity without ego. I have come off antidepressants. Not because I was told to, but because my anxiety dropped to a level I had not experienced in years. I genuinely feel lighter, clearer and stronger. The biggest change is this. I do not feel like life is happening to me anymore. I feel like I am choosing how I respond to it. My confidence at work has improved. My awareness in my relationship has improved. Most importantly, I feel like the best version of myself is emerging. Not because I have become someone else, but because I understand myself. If you are prepared to do the work, Alan will change your life. "SB
