You’d think that my backgound in marketing would really help when it came to launching the coaching side of my business, but this wasn’t immediately the case.
I am absolutely passionate about coaching and have no hesitation in championing it as one of the best ways to help you live your best life (too cheesey?) but apparently not everyone is with me, yet!
Apparently it is good form in marketing to listen to your customers so I ran a survey to understand what people think and feel about coaching (thank you to everyone who completed it, it made for very interesting reading). One of the biggest things that came up was uncertainty — many people simply weren’t sure what coaching involves, or didn’t see how it could benefit them, especially if they didn’t have a very specific problem to solve.
Comments like, “I’m not exactly sure what coaching is, or what happens in a session…”, and, “How will coaching actually benefit me?”, highlighted a theme so I thought this blog would be a good opportunity to explain and hopefully gain a few more coaching advocates.
A space to untangle your mind
I often use the analogy of having a head full of spaghetti. When your mind is busy, your thoughts get tangled up — it’s hard to think clearly and it feels like your ‘to-do’ list is getting ever longer. You lose sight of what really matters, and what you want to do next.
Coaching gives you dedicated time and space to get all that spaghetti out of your head. Together, we can lay it all out, gently untangle it, and work out which strands are worth keeping and which can be let go.
As a coach, I strongly believe that you have the answers within you, after all, you know yourself better than anyone else ever could. My role is simply to ask the right questions, create a supportive, non-judgmental space, and help you hear your own wisdom.
Untangling your thoughts doesn’t just bring relief — it makes it easier to see what truly matters and how you want to move forward.
The difference coaching can make
People come to coaching for so many reasons. From my survey, the areas most wanted were:
- Building confidence and clarity
- Managing stress
- Finding a better work-life balance
People often describe huge benefits both personally and professionally — feeling less overwhelmed, clearer on what they want, and able to move forward.
A coaching session is time set aside just for you — it offers a rare chance to step back from the constant noise, slow down your thoughts, and think with clarity and purpose, not just at speed.

Costs and what to expect
So how does it work, and what does it cost? I offer the following:
Free introductory call: A 30-minute call to see if we’re a good fit and answer any questions you might have.
Sessions: I usually recommend starting with three sessions so we have the time to explore things properly and make real progress. However, if you’d prefer to begin with a single session, that’s absolutely fine.
Pricing: There is a lot of talk amongst coaches about whether to publish prices but the survey told me that people were put off not knowing and as my driver in coaching is helping people, I want to break down as many barriers as I can. I also want to make coaching as accessible as I can to people so for self-funding clients, I currently charge £260 for three sessions (or £95 per session if booked individually).
Business-supported coaching: If your employer is paying, I have separate rates. Please get in touch to discuss these.
Where we meet: Sessions are typically held online, but I’m happy to discuss meeting in person if that suits you better.
