Liz Gow is someone who takes her job professionally and compassionately. A delicate combination indeed. She provides insights and then the tools to help you see a way forward in whatever area of your life that is holding you back. Ultimately the rest is up to you - it's a case of what you put in is what you get out. But sometimes it's hard to know even what direction to take.

Supervision Testimonial


Thank you Liz, for walking beside me on this journey. I always felt understood. So much growth in so little time, Liz it is always such a pleasure working with you. Thank you
Christie


Supervision with Liz is like Forrest Gump’s Box of Chocolates, I never know what I’m going to get, but I do know that the outcome will be good. Liz has integrity, professionalism, a wide knowledge base and humour that she combines to draw out the threads I bring to supervision and with patience she supports me and challenges me as I reweave my thoughts and practises. I leave each session feeling heard and my path forward is clearer.

I am privileged to have Liz Gow as my supervisor. I have been in supervision for the majority of my professional life (close to 20 years now), and am finding clinical supervision with Liz to be among the best I have experienced. Liz has a way of allowing me to find the answers myself, whilst gently challenging my perspectives. Supervision with Liz enables me to achieve, sustain and creatively develop a high quality of practice through the means of focussed support and development. I am encouraged to critically reflect and am validated and supported as a person and as a professional. Liz is a highly skilled communicator, and passionate about what she does. It shows.

I am very grateful for the 3 years or so of professional supervision with you, Liz. I valued your light hearted but very sincere approach and passion for supervision! In reflecting on professional skills, strengths and challenges there was always very constructive encouragement. In looking at self-cares I felt able to go deeply into issues, which is not always possible in my experience of supervision. Always something valuable to go away with, including a sense of satisfaction. I appreciated the variety of techniques we used for reflection. It was also easy to leave when I needed to. What more could anyone want!

I have been attending supervision with Liz for approximately 2 years. Throughout this time my sessions have been relevant to me as an individual and also targeting my work as a Director and a clinician. Liz has a vast range of tools to utilise when reviewing different issues and uses her therapeutic use of self to great advantage in a supervision environment.

Thank-you Liz for being a life-coach. You are the most affirming and encouraging person I know. You always reflected on what I shared with you and brought back aspects to delve deeper into and raised themes I didn't see. You let me plan the direction and pace. You used humour and kept me on track with firmness when needed. I absolutely valued the sessions I had with you as they have changed my life in many positive ways, even though it is now 3 years later the empowering effect hasn't worn off. Once again - thank-you!

Before starting with GET IT GOT IT GREAT, (now Don’t Make Life Weight, Living life from the inside out) I felt confused, frustrated about life, myself and where I was heading. I felt the whole world was against me. Partaking in Liz’s course, with her guidance, compassion, wealth of knowledge and understanding taught me with small steps and simple tools how to turn my life around. Thank You Liz

When I first started Liz Gow's GIGIG (Now Don’t Make Life Weight – Living life from the inside out) coaching I was eating very poorly, i was overweight,tired etc I guess due to a lack of knowledge about nutrictian found it hard to lose weight, self sabotaging etc. During several weeks of coaching i learnt so much. Liz taught me in very simple steps how to connect within myself to identify the issues that caused a few problems that stopped me from losing weight. Within a few short weeks i learnt about emotions, feelings, the right foods to eat, etc, Introduced exercise and found myself well on the way to getting the results I required. I have never looked back and feel that this is one of the best things i have done. With Liz's gentle but powerful tools i can honestly say i am in a good place today. I would recommend anyone to try this course.

Liz is a warm caring and approachable coach. She is generous in her praise and sensitive when offering alternative view points. I really appreciated her positive fun approach and the creativity and imagination she brought to the sessions, Thanks Liz
Nancy Wright, Occupational Therapist


The Kaizen concept is very effective and I think one of the most valuable tools to sort out one's life: to me it means creating space, creating order, de-cluttering, listening, being in the present. Being creative has become more of a priority. The discovery of taking small steps to achieve goals is so obvious that I had forgotten how easy it is and in how many areas of my life, personal and professional I can apply this principle. How good is that! Your enthusiasm and thoughtfulness have made it all complete and it was such a pleasure to work with you. Thank you so much.
Erica O’Neill


It was an amazing journey of discovery. It was tough and it was worthwhile. I recommend the process and I recommend Liz Gow as a Life Coach if you want to get results.

If anyone was to consider life coaching I would recommend it. It gives you the opportunity to make changes that you want. I would recommend Liz Gow as a life coach. Her drive and enthusiasm to help you attain your goals are excellent. She is supportive compassionate as well as empathetic to her client. If I was to compare life coaching to something, I would say making a new year resolution. We make resolutions to change. However usually give up soon after. Your life coach somehow gives you the strength encouragement and support to carry on.

And when you achieve your goals its a fantastic feeling and makes all the hard work worthwhile !!!!!!!! Sure there are days when you think about giving up , but the days you make major achievements you feel on top of the world !!!!! So Thanks so much Liz for the gift of Life coaching it was a great pleasure sharing my journey with you
Liz Etherson


We had four telephone sessions and I found every one of them very valuable in achieving my goal. Throughout the process, Liz remained just as excited as I was which was wonderfully encouraging to me! Her passion about this particular way of coaching was eminent in how she facilitated the sessions. She was encouraging, asked just the right amount and type of questions to challenge some of my thinking and doing. She was kind and compassionate and able to help me reach a deeper understanding of my thoughts and feelings.

I especially enjoyed the guided meditations/visualisations which added a lot of “lightness” to my journey towards achieving my goal. Liz was thorough in her follow-up emails and put a lot of thought and work into it! I feel grateful and lucky that she helped me complete a project that I hadn’t looked at in years. The main message that is left with me now was that it is about the journey and not the end result. Working with Liz was fun, educational and inspirational!

I recently had the pleasure of having Liz as my life coach. She managed to sort out my 'oh it’s OK' attitude and inspired me to be proud of my achievements. Liz kept me focused and on track, giving me practical steps about my goals. She was always professional, flexible and encouraging with my final vision. Thank you Liz, I now have a greater awareness of ME and the importance of having balance in my life.

I had the privilege of being coached by Liz Gow through 12 sessions covering a time period of approximately 16 weeks. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started my coaching, even though I had read the brochures and talked to Liz before I started. I am a self assertive and confident person and thought it may be a waste of both of our time. But I was curious and wanted to try it.

It was a challenge all the way through but worth every second. Liz was fantastic, she was real and honest and gave constructive feedback all the way through. Her ease and confidence made me comfortable and I felt I was in excellent hands. The outcome was beyond anything I could have imagined – even for someone as comfortable in their own skin as I am. I gained skills that have helped with certain situations and will continue to be valuable to me throughout my life.

I would recommend the journey with Liz to anyone, no matter how assertive or confident you are, there are definite benefits to be gained. If you like honesty and reality without the callousness, you will love Liz. Keep up the great work Liz!
