Life coaching helps you examine your life choices from a fresh, in-depth perspective giving you renewed zest for life.
Once our mental blocks and limiting beliefs are unlocked, we develop a new-found sense of energy and enthusiasm. Our relationship with ourselves undergoes a paradigm change and we begin to view our lives in a different way.
Coaching helps you discover your true personal values (about which we are often completely unaware) and you are then able to give importance to those values. Then you can tailor your life path around what is important to you.
‘what personal training does for your body, life coaching does for your mind’
In short, everyone. These days, we live accelerated manic lives, often trying to pack in more than we are able to. This pace can often leave us feeling overwhelmed, stressed and disillusioned with life. We often find ourselves chasing goals and dreams that we never originally had. Similarly, we may become too comfortable with our lives and get stuck in a rut and lose the motivation to push ourselves.
‘Coaching is simply about helping you assess a situation and helping you move forward from that point’
Many people go through life, without ever stopping to define themselves or take stock of their values and beliefs. This leads to confusion and, eventually, we settle for less than what we want. This applies to everyone: CEOs, Sports people, Parents, Executives, Teachers – anyone.
Coaching can help you avoid feeling drained, bored or uninspired by tasks that are not important. People are able to reshape their lives around their values and make their lives less stressful becoming more relaxed and enthused about life again.
“8 out of 10 people become more positive and experience improved self-confidence as a result of coaching, according to the ICF Global Coaching Client Study”
Modern life coaching incorporates some of the old ideas, as well as innovations that are relevant to the problems and challenges of the 21st century, like life with smart phones! The concept originally began in the United States and was introduced in Great Britain, when businesses realised that coaching could facilitate company growth and expansion.
One of the main reasons for the rising popularity of life coaching is the increasing amount of stress that people experience, as a result of work pressure, difficult bosses, lack of work-life balance and loss of motivation. Having a family and keeping up with all the social media pressure of other people living better lives add to the imbalance.
A life coach is different from a counsellor or therapist who is a qualified individual who offers treatment. Unlike therapy, life coaching does not delve deeply into repressed memories, and it does not involve complex terminology or psychology.
Instead coaches focus on the future offering emotional support to motivate and help their clients to identify and make the correct choices for an exciting rewarding and fulfilling future.

Coaching mostly takes place on the phone in 45/60-minute sessions. You book an allotted time to call and we take it from there. This makes it convenient for the time poor and is a very powerful way of getting straight to the issue. I can use any method that suits you ideally Skype, WhatsApp, FaceTime or the good ole landline!
I operate from 2 locations one in central London and the other in Cowes, Isle of Wight should you prefer face to face coaching, which might take a little longer to arrange but is completely possible. Some NLP techniques are sometimes better this way.
I work with the client’s needs. Usually clients like one session a week initially to kick-start their development and then fewer and fewer as they reach their goal.
I have a pretty full schedule so when we agree to a date and time slot together, it means I no longer take bookings from other clients at that time. I dedicate that timeslots to you. Whilst I can be very flexible, there is a certain amount of business certainty about the agreement. There is more information in the T&Cs.
We help women who dream big, go big.
Anything is possible
