"After finishing my army service, I was thrown into civilian life. I went from a place where purpose and meaning were built into everything I did and struggled to find direction in civilian life.
Working with Adam through Ascend gave me the space to slow down and really understand myself and what I’m looking for now. In the middle of all the noise, having dedicated time to think deeply was grounding and energising. Together we built a path that genuinely excites me, and I now feel confident that I have the clarity and tools to move forward. I’d recommend Ascend to anyone looking to rediscover purpose and direction during a major transition."
"Working with Adam has genuinely helped me through a very difficult period in my life. He has given me valuable tools, guidance, and self-awareness that have helped me better understand and overcome many of the challenges that had been weighing me down for a long time.
Since working with him, I feel noticeably lighter, more confident, and better equipped to handle life’s difficulties. I am truly grateful for Adam’s support and insight, and I know I will continue using the tools he has given me moving forward."
"Working with Adam has been a truly grounding and transformative experience for me.
His coaching gave me the tools and structure to understand myself on a much deeper level. Throughout the process, I’ve gained a more solid understanding of my values, motivations, and the patterns that shape my decisions.
Through a clear and comprehensive process, I’ve gained clarity around what actually matters to me and how to live in alignment with that. Rather than feeling scattered or stuck in overthinking, I now feel like I’m on a steady path toward a more intentional and aligned life, with a much stronger sense of self-awareness and direction."
"Talking to Adam is more than a conversation. He takes you in directions you're not expecting. And he gently persuades you to address the issues you need to address - especially those you'd rather avoid! I never realised an hour of "conversation" could be so productive."
"When I finished my army service I was suddenly thrown into civilian life. The transition was much harder than I expected. I struggled deeply—emotionally and mentally – with insecurity, uncertainty, and a constant feeling of being overwhelmed. At times, I felt useless and genuinely afraid for my future.
I tried therapy, and while it helped in some ways, I still felt like something was missing. I didn’t have a clear framework or practical tools to truly move forward. That changed when I got in touch with Ascend Coaching, working with Adam was a turning point.
Through Ascend, I gained a new way of thinking about myself—how to speak to myself in a productive way, how to challenge negative patterns, and how to actually translate ideas into consistent action. For the first time in a long while, I felt like I could breathe again and that things would be okay. More importantly, I believed that I had the ability to take control of my life.
Together, we built a structure and a path forward."
"Before starting with Ascend, I felt like I lacked clear career direction and had a lot of uncertainty about the future. Adam has a way of laying out your life and options so you can properly analyse what makes the most sense for you. Through the process, everything became clearer, and I now feel confident about where I’m heading and what steps I need to take next."
"Adam was able to get me focused on the areas that I wanted to strengthen, explore and improve. He helped me clarify my goals and then break them down into values and practical skills I could cultivate in a way that was meaningful to me. He listens calmly and asks challenging questions so, together, we created a plan to work my goals into my life and make things happen."
