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, more in control, and more like yourself again.​​

​

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.​

​

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 driver’s 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 Can Support

Coaching is for everyone – and every kind of goal. It might be something tangible like:​

​

  • Making a career change

  • 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 or Counselling? What’s the Difference?

This is a great question – and one I understand well, as I have both a coach and a therapist. I use coaching to explore goals, shift limiting beliefs, and focus on what’s next. I use therapy to work through past patterns and emotional healing.​In short: Coaching looks forward. Counselling tends to look back.

​

Both have value – it depends on what you need. And if it becomes clear that you’d be better supported by a counsellor or therapist, I’ll 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.

Gemma

For the last couple of years I've felt my confidence at work decline, with no real understanding of why and what I could do to stop it. Working with Emma she helped me look at when my confidence was high, what changed and the impact those changes had on me. Working with Emma was like flipping a switch, understanding the sequence of events that started to corrode my confidence has given me the ability to step away and put some tools in place to reframe and get back to a more confident way of working. I'm pretty astounded on the change in how I feel so quickly and I am incredibly thankful to Emma for her time and patience in helping me address this.

Jo

I've recently completed 3 coaching sessions with Emma and have been really pleased with her support for me which has helped me with personal reflections in my professional and personal life. Emma has helped me to think through the reasons behind some of my thoughts and fears, and given me some strategies to take forward in every day life aswell as at work. I’m hoping to continue with Emma to build my skills and confidence further. 
I’d really recommend coaching to anyone no matter what stage of your career. Emma has a great personable style and is very easy to talk too which is so important on the coaching relationship. Don’t hesitate to take the step! 

Caroline

Emma was professional and personable, picking up on issues I needed to address, and giving me support to start, follow through and complete work to action those issues. She was able to put into clear language my options (which I had brain dumped on her!) so I could clarify how I could help myself through a period of unemployment and helped me with self confidence to try a different path.
