testimonials
People who have worked with Francine Kaye have a lot to say. In fact Francine has files full of their comments. To give you an idea of how Divorce and Relationship Coaching can benefit you, here are just a few of the hundreds of testimonials Francine has received over the past 10 years.
“Working with Francine has helped me to face reality. We have different values and they are so far apart that we don’t have anything in common any more, and I doubt if we ever did. Funnily enough I actually feel a great sense of relief because I have spent so many years trying to be what he wants and going against everything I am. Now I understand that although our relationship is over its not my fault or his and we can both move on. I just wish I had known this five years ago”.

“I’ve realised that I was unconscious in my relationship with Tim. I wasn’t living in reality but more in my fantasy of what a relationship should be like. Through understanding myself better, I’ve woken up. I’m ready to be me again. We can’t thank you enough. Both of us have learned so much about ourselves working with you. One thing we know is that we do still love each other and both of us are willing to do what it takes to make this work”.
Chrissy L
“We came to Francine for relationship coaching because we had reached a point where we really needed help - we couldn’t do it ourselves.
From the very first meeting on the phone, to the face to face meetings we have had, we have both felt safe, challenged and loved by Francine.
The breakthrough came when we explored what it would be like to be outside the relationship - and then looked at what it would be like to be fully committed to being ‘in’ the relationship - after we had done that, we knew we couldn’t possibly go back to being ‘in between’ the relationship in no-man’s land. The next breakthrough came from having some really courageous conversations about what was really going on in our so called marriage.
After 30 years of being together, 26 of them married, we are now genuinely looking forward to what’s next - it’s a cliché, but it really is like starting again!
We’re still making time to talk, being honest with what is going on for us and planning more time together. Francine, I would recommend you because you have a big heart and a real gift for working with couples”
Tony Barton
“Francine helped me to identify my limiting beliefs and to articulate my values. Without full knowledge of these two essentials I was finding taking the next step hard going. Francine was so gentle as I was unsure to start with. She is incredibly empowering. I would recommend Francine to anyone who is very frightened of changing their lives. She showed my how easy it was to take the smallest step first”.

“Francine’s a great coach. She understood exactly where I was coming from and offered me pertinent and practical advice. We didn’t waste a moment of the session and I felt inspired and have already started to take action on the work we have done”.

“Francine, you were so supportive of someone who was frankly embarrassed to talk about some of things I did. You also managed to pull me out of the past in a lot of my thinking and actually show me an alternative way to responding to people and what happens in my life. I now feel much clearer on my issues and I have received more support and recognition from you than I have given myself in years”

“Dear Francine, I came looking and searching far and wide. With tenderness and understanding you made me see all I need to know for now is just under my nose”.

“Francine has been truthful and has used the truth in our sessions to help move me forwards. In addition to the coaching I have received over the phone, Francine has also given support between calls in update emails with great praise when things are going well and positive suggestions when I needed some extra support to get through issues.
As a result of the positive coaching I have received I would (and have) thoroughly recommend Francine as an effective as well as supportive coach”
C Chapman
“I have been working with an amazing coach, Francine Kaye and I am delighted to be able to tell you about her.
I don’t know what I expected when we met. I think I half-expected her to tell me that I was right, that I had been treated appallingly and that everyone took me for granted.
Not a hope! She made me look at my values and question how I was feeling. She made me stand up and take a good look at myself and see who I was. She saw straight away that I was always hiding behind someone else. I HAD to reclaim my identity and be proud of what I had achieved.
Francine Kaye is an inspirational, kick-ass life coach. She could see what I was capable of and never let me forget who I was. She motivated me more than I ever thought possible. She is intuitive and a genuinely kind and sensitive person who knows what she is doing. She’s also tough when she feels she needs to be and that was exactly what I needed from her.
People have commented on how positive and enthusiastic I am and that is down to Francine who was able to make me believe in ME. She continues to support and motivate me with her wise words and positive emails and I am pleased to think of her as a much-loved friend”

“From the first contact I found Francine to operate in a very warn and professional manner. Francine ‘s style of coaching is a great mix of support and challenging you to push yourself further that result in things actually happening and making a difference to your life. I particularly value her intuitiveness and her skill in getting beyond the surface issues and helping to identify what’s going on and shine a light where you don’t necessarily want to see. I also very much value Francine’s interpersonal style which is warm and supportive. I have been left energised, with real insights and as a consequence I’ve moved on particular issues after coaching with Francine I am at a very different place in my life that three months ago I would not have thought possible. Along the way she has provided me with a way of understanding myself which I can use in each and every situation I find myself in and use for the rest of my life – i.e. this is not some form or short term fix. I will always be grateful for that. I would recommend Francine extremely for the results that she has facilitated me in achieving”.

“Francine has a wonderfully warm and enthusiastic style and is an excellent coach. In just two hours she helped me dig deep to find the passion from which I had somehow got distracted. It was as if I had been wearing someone else’s clothes that didn’t fit. Now I feel like I’m wearing my favourite outfit, the one that makes me feel fantastic and that I can achieve whatever I want.
Francine is patient, considerate, respectful, intuitive and great fun. I thoroughly enjoyed our session and would highly recommend her to anyone who really wants to fulfil their dreams”.

“I write with reference to the (incredible) coaching I had with Francine Kaye.
I felt an immediate connection and confidence in her; Our 1st 2 hour session left me feeling uplifted for the first time in ages, I could feel myself coming out of the wilderness and life began to be exciting again.
We began to discover the things that matter most to me, and which underpin everything.
Francine was supportive throughout, recognising fears that hold me back. She never failed to amaze me with her incredible insights and great advice. She kept me excited about the changes ahead and I felt motivated throughout.
Where it took me: -
Now I am happy to tell people who I am. I am brimming with confidence and am happy being me - if people/situations don’t suit me then I change them, I don’t accept 2nd best.
My confidence soared and for the first time in my life I put having fun and an easier life as a priority in my life, and as a result I got braver; I gave up my job (decided to treat myself, took some time out - went round the world for 3 mths - and felt euphoric!
Man-wise, Francine helped me to understand that the reason I backed away so quickly was that I didn’t set boundaries with men initially, often feeling pressured to see them as much as they wanted, rather than allowing myself the time I needed to get comfortable with them.
Also much to my surprise Francine discovered that I was comparing everyone to the big love of my life in my late-20’s and that I hadn’t let go of him. Weird but so true. In one session she asked me to contact him to get closure. It was an incredible turning point and something significant shifted in me … I finally let go.
I would never have achieved any of this without Francine and am indebted to her for life. I am happy and am no longer letting other people control my life; that’s my job!”
