What is coaching?

Coaching can help if you are looking for change in your personal or professional life but feel that something is holding you back from taking action. Often, we have a clear idea of what we want to achieve – and even the steps needed to get there – but something is preventing us from moving forward. Coaching can help bridge that gap between where you are now, and where would like to be in the future.

As well as being a powerful tool to help you navigate particular life events, such as a career change, parenthood, or relationship complications, coaching can also provide an opportunity to delve into challenges that are less tangible, perhaps a persistent sense that something is missing, or a feeling of unfulfillment despite a life that appears busy and successful on paper.

With a focus on your present experience and future intentions, rather than on revisiting the past, coaching can help you explore your motivations, values, and priorities while giving you the tools to feel empowered to make positive and sustainable changes.

Could coaching be useful to you?

I am trained in transformative coaching and can help clients to explore:

  • Building self-esteem and confidence, including overcoming limiting beliefs
  • Exploring your values and what truly brings you happiness and fulfilment
  • Breaking down goals into more manageable milestones and exploring tools to maintain motivation
  • Navigating life transitions, such as redundancy, parenting or relocation
  • Identifying techniques to better cope with stress and overwhelm
  • Becoming more self-aware and conscious of how you experience the world around you

About me

I am a qualified coach with an Accredited Diploma in Transformative Coaching from the Animas Centre for Coaching. My approach is flexible and integrated and I draw on a range of schools of thought, including psychological, humanistic and holistic principles, depending on what best serves my client. My training is globally accredited by the International Coaching Federation, the European Mentoring & Coaching Council, and the Association for Coaching.

My professional background is in marketing and since 2010, I have worked for large financial services organisations in the City of London. My journey into coaching began during a career transition as a result of redundancy. I found that working with a coach provided me with a valuable space to reflect on my values and become clearer on the outcomes I wanted. This experience ultimately shaped my decision to work in a way that supports a better work-life balance as a parent of two young children. As I put these changes into practice, coaching continues to provide me with the opportunity to maintain momentum, hold myself accountable, and build confidence and emotional resilience.

Having experienced the profound effect of coaching for myself, I chose to train as a coach to support others going through periods of transition and looking to make positive changes. I offer one-to-one sessions, both online and in-person. To book a free introductory call, please click here.

What are the next steps?


Book a free 30 minute introductory call

This is a free exploratory call to discuss confidentially the topic you would like to bring to coaching. It is a chance to discuss whether coaching is right for you and if so, allows me to understand how I can best support you as a coach, as well as providing the opportunity to explain my coaching approach. It is also a time to discuss practicalities such as session duration and pricing.

Pre-coaching questionnaire and first coaching session

If the outcome of the introductory call is that we decide to work together, I will send you a short questionnaire to complete prior to our initial session. This contains a set of questions that will help me to learn more about you and prepare for our first session. I generally work with clients online but I am also available for face-to-face sessions in South East or Central London. My sessions last for 60 minutes.

Continuing sessions

After our first session, we will discuss working together for a block of further sessions. At this point, the usual package is four further sessions at intervals of time that best suit you.
