Coaching from Experience, for Real Life​
I’ve had the privilege of coaching over 200 people - from school pupils learning to believe in themselves and find their voice, to new managers navigating the tricky shift from colleague to leader. I’ve worked with individuals feeling ‘stuck’ and unsure of what’s next, supported those struggling with smartphone addiction, guided menopausal women adjusting to life’s changing seasons, and helped senior leaders manage challenging conversations and shifting expectations. Every story is unique, but the goal is often the same - to feel more confident, to be heard and be more in control of yourself and your environment.​​
​
Why I Do What I Do
My own coaching journey began not from a textbook, but from a personal crossroads. Some years ago, I left a job under difficult circumstances. It completely knocked my confidence. For a while, I felt lost - unsure of what I wanted, what I was capable of, or even who I really was anymore. Looking back, I realise I’d spent much of my life on autopilot. Like so many of us, I didn’t truly understand myself - my patterns, my strengths, the internal chatter that quietly held me back. That experience lit a fire in me. And now, I help others find their own way forward - this is my 'Why'.​
​
Self-Awareness Is the Start of Everything
Understanding who we are - what drives us, what holds us back (spoiler alert: it’s usually ourselves!) - is the foundation for genuine change. It’s how we build healthier relationships, stronger confidence, and a clearer sense of direction. One client said to me, “Why don’t we learn this stuff at school?” A very good question. But it’s never too late to learn it now.​
​
How I Work
Coaching with me is a reflective, supportive space. You’re in the driving seat - I’m simply your co-pilot, armed with a map full of questions, insights, and tools. We might hit the odd dead end, take a few laps around a roundabout, or wander down an unexpected side road - but we’ll always be moving forward.​
​
What Coaching & Mentoring I support
Coaching & mentoring is for everyone – and every kind of goal. It might be something tangible like:​
​
-
Making a career change from colleague to manager
-
Improving relationships at work or home
-
Tackling a big life decision​
Or something more internal, like:
​
-
Building confidence
-
Developing resilience
-
Finding clarity and calm amid the chaos​
​
When Life Feels Foggy
If you’re feeling unsure, stuck or overwhelmed, coaching can offer a moment of pause – a space to breathe, reflect, and see more clearly. Together, we explore what’s blocking you, and more importantly, what’s waiting to be unlocked.
​
My Training & Approach
I trained in Transformational Coaching with the Animas Centre for Coaching, an ICF-accredited programme, and furthered my study in Positive Intelligence (PQ) with Shirzad Chamine, a leading expert in mindset and resilience at Stanford.
This blend of tools, techniques, and lived-in wisdom means I bring both structure and empathy to our work – combining the professional with the personal.
​
Getting Started
We begin with a free discovery call - a no-pressure chat to see if we’re the right fit. You can ask questions, share what’s on your mind, and get a feel for how I work. Sessions last around an hour. Some clients feel a shift in just one session, while others benefit from a series of 3–6 sessions to really unpack and move forward.
​
Coaching, Mentoring or Counselling? What’s the Difference?
I have all 3 - a mentor, a coach and a therapist. My mentor gives guidance based on their experience; my coach helps me improve specific skills, shift limiting beliefs, and focus on what’s next. I use therapy to work through past patterns and emotional healing.​In short: Coaching and Mentoring look forward. Counselling tends to look back.
​
All 3 have value - it depends on what you need. If it becomes clear that you’d be better supported by a counsellor or therapist, I will always say so and point you towards the right help.
​
It’s Never Too Late to Begin
If any of this resonates, I invite you to take that first step. There’s no pressure – just an open, honest conversation.​ You’ve spent enough time putting yourself at the bottom of the list. Maybe now it’s your turn.

Sonya - Office Manager
Thoroughly enjoyed each session with Emma, she made them interesting and engaging. Emma is knowledgeable on a whole range of subjects, mentoring allowing me to explore my own personality traits, highlighting strengths and weakness and working on those to find tasks/tools to help me to gain more confidence in the workplace, with each session came a small amount of homework and this was followed up and discussed at the next session nicely link each session together, I would highly recommend Emma's mentoring as I think looking inward has helped massively in enabling me to have a calmer, more confident approach to my job and workplace, something which I previously lacked.

Ria - Operations Director
Thank you for everything you have enlightened me with throughout this journey Emma, I have grown considerably, both personally and as a team manager and will be forever grateful for your expert knowledge, guidance and passion! There is a reason you do what you do!

Lewis - Operations Director
I chose to get in touch with Emma after reading her profile, I felt that the people she enjoys working with suited myself. I am a new manager/business owner which has felt somewhat overwhelming at times and I was certainly in need of some confidence building in a business environment. I felt like we connected fairly quickly and that I could express myself with full honesty with Emma which was refreshing.
