What clients say

Don’t just take my word for it. Here’s what business owners, couples and individuals say about working with Clive.

A colleague suggested I spoke with Clive as my start up business still wasn’t hitting target after 18 months trying. We discussed a number of areas which needed attention, put strategies in place and marked out some Key Performance Indicators to measure progress.

I’m happy to say this year has been a record, with turnover up by 160%. This thanks to Clive’s expertise, knowledge, drive and enthusiasm. This has been a game changer for me and the business, best investment we have made. I recommend him to all my friends and contacts.

JamesBusiness consultancy and mentoring

We’re in such a better place now – and that’s not only as a couple but on individual level too. This has been a complete game changer for us.

Without your help we would have eventually split up, we had been going downhill for some time. Thank you for all your wise words, tools, exercises and support. It’s been very interesting, engaging and challenging at times too! We finished our program but we both want to continue working with you occasionally in the future just to keep on improving our relationship!

Kat and LukeRelationship coaching

I was lucky to find Clive at Brilliant Coaching when I was at a very low point in my life. In a short time, he helped me put my life back together, giving emotional support, practical advice and when I needed it, a (gentle) nudge in the right direction! I’m in such a good place now and I would not hesitate to recommend Clive.

LisaLife and career coaching

I found and secured an amazing new position which was actually a bit beyond my skill set. I had to develop confidence and leadership skills fast. A friend recommended Clive and after several sessions over a few months I was told by my director that my entire team had spoken really highly of me. Such a great compliment! Something which I can attribute to Clive’s experience, professionalism and supporting me in my progress. Highly recommended.

AmeliaLife and career coaching

Clive has been responsible for our business development from start-up, development and then through franchising. He is highly experienced in his field and has helped us build the business in all aspects over many years, from the ground up to a national network. Proof of this is that he is still working with us over 20 years later!

MikeBusiness consultancy and mentoring

When we sought guidance from Clive we were living separately and in need of much help to get our marriage back on track. There were a number of issues within our marriage which had caused problems with trust, betrayal and respect for one another. We both felt uncertain of the future but realised we needed help to get back what we had lost.

Now we are living together, happier and building what we had lost. We both feel more positive and enjoy the skills Clive has given us to communicate about everything in life including those things that are hard to discuss. Clive has been a great help, patient and motivating. We are where we are today because of his insight and knowledge.

Lauren and MarkRelationship coaching

From the start, I knew I was in good hands with Clive Sinclair. He was clear about what he felt we could achieve together in a relatively short time and I really did notice the difference in my approach to work and to life. He was empathetic, asked good, strong questions and gave solid advice. I really benefitted from my time working with him and look forward to doing so again in the future. Ten out of ten.

Alex CatherwoodLife and career coaching

Clive was really great to work with and refreshingly different from other sessions I’ve had before. Interactive, constructive and engaging. Clive helped us understand a lot more about each other as well as individually. His sessions were really interesting and interactive, he helped us work through a lot of things as well as equipping us with the tools and coping mechanisms to bring ourselves back on track should things start to slip again.

I would highly recommend Clive to anyone seeking counselling or coaching. Approachable, professional and friendly, it was a pleasure to work with Clive and we can’t be more appreciative of how he has helped us.

Fiona and DavidRelationship coaching

Feels crazy that we are in such a different situation now. We really appreciate your help.

Clive literally saved our marriage when we thought it was over! We were at a stage where our relationship had broken down and the trust had gone. After working with Clive, we are completely back on track and stronger and more intimate than ever. We are so glad we got help outside the relationship and can’t thank Clive enough.

K and DRelationship coaching

Our business needed help to increase our turnover and improve our marketing and sales conversion rate. A business associate recommended Brilliant Coaching as they had worked wonders for his business. We had a long discussion with Clive, who reviewed and assessed our sales and marketing methods and our needs.

Long story short, through sharpening up and re-targeting our approach, improving our offering, improving our sales training and motivation we more than achieved our goals. So much so we were approached and bought out 2 years later by one of our competitors! Highly recommended.

StephenBusiness consultancy and mentoring

I felt uncertain whether I could really pull off my new role at director level. I was anxious about how I would be seen by my peers and I questioned my own capabilities at such a senior position. I talked it through with a friend and they recommended I had a chat with Clive. The chat made me feel I was with someone who understood me and who knew the way I could empower myself, build unshakeable confidence and power my way through.

I had some sessions; did the work he gave me to do and enjoyed his support between sessions as well. It was challenging, fun and engaging. I now have a new toolbox of life and business skills, authenticity and confidence! Highly recommended.

ChristinaLife and career coaching

Clive helped me tremendously when I was in a new career which wasn’t working out. He understood quickly and we worked together to assess my skills, my drivers and passions. We put all of this together and analysed some areas and career paths which might suit me. We edited my CV, set some goals with steps along the way and I then applied for a number of really good career fits for me.

I was invited to interview with three of them and I secured my most favourite! Working with Clive was easy and straightforward, I’m so glad I got his help. Highly recommended.

MatthewLife and career coaching

As someone who is near the top of business, sports and relationships, I didn’t expect to feel so lost in life. I reached out to Clive at Brilliant Coaching. He helped me through a very all-encompassing and structured approach to pinpoint some of my key issues.

I feel very comfortable in my own skin now, which is testament to the time and effort Clive puts into his sessions with his clients. I am back to really enjoying life – and the resilience and authenticity I now have is amazing. I would recommend Clive to anyone.

TomLife and career coaching

I reached out to Clive during the most difficult time of my life, while I was struggling to deal with my thoughts and emotions. Working with Clive has changed the way I interact with my thoughts and highlighted my strengths while enabling me to work on self-improvement where I require it.

Not only has this helped me greatly with my day to day working life but also in my sporting endeavours where I have used some of my learnings to improve my self-awareness and positive mental attitude to achieve to the fullest of my potential in both areas.

Clive has always made conversation so easy and explains things in an engaging and fun way, and I would highly recommend his services.

MattLife and career coaching

Clive has been amazing, he has got us talking together about things we had not talked about in all our years of marriage.
