Coaching for Change
and the Feelings That Come With It
Online coaching, anywhere in the UK, with Steff: an EMCC-accredited coach (Level 5), qualified yoga teacher, and NHS mental health trainee.
Change is hard, even when we wanted it. Coaching gives us a calm place to look at what is happening, and to find what you want next.
Is this you?
Most people come to me because something in their life is changing, or they wish it would. See if any of these sound like yours:
-
Your job is ending, or a new one is beginning, and the relief you expected hasn't arrived.
-
You've become a parent, and nobody told you it would feel like this
-
A relationship is over, or changing, and you're not sure who you are in the new version of your life.
-
You've moved, or you're about to, and the new place doesn't feel like yours yet.
-
Life looks fine from the outside. Inside, it feels smaller than it was
If one of these is close to your life at the moment, you're in the right place. And if you can't quite name what the change is, only that something doesn't feel settled, that is also a completely ordinary place to begin.
What Coaching gives you
Coaching is not advice, and it is not someone deciding your life for you. It is a calm, regular conversation in which you are properly heard, asked honest questions, and helped to find what you want next.
People usually leave with:
-
A clearer head. Change fills the mind with noise; coaching gives you a place to set it down and sort through it
-
Decisions made with less doubt. Not certainty, but a way forward that fits your actual life
-
A little kindness towards yourself, in a period where you're probably not giving yourself much
-
Steady progress at your pace, instead of the pressure to have it all figured out
I won't promise you a transformed life. Most people don't need fireworks; they need somewhere to think, and someone steady to think with.
How it works
A first session.
Sixty minutes, online. There's no structure you must fit into. We begin with where you actually are.
A series of six sessions.
Change takes time to settle, and most people find that six sessions gives it that time. This is the usual path. A single session is always possible, but the work tends to deepen after the first few conversations, when things have had room to open up.
Coaching is not Therapy
Coaching is not counselling or therapy, and it is not a replacement for them. If, as we work together, it becomes clear that therapy would serve you better, I will say so, and I will help you find someone. Sometimes both are useful at different times.
Because I come from a mental health background with a degree in counselling and psychology, NHS training, and years of supporting people through difficult periods, you will always get an honest answer about what kind of support fits you best. That matters more to me than a booking.
Where this works comes from
The clearest picture of what I do is a weekly group I hold in my local community: a women's circle that starts with coaching (questions, reflection, small steps) and ends with gentle yoga. That is how change tends to happen: a little understanding, and a little rest.
The women who come usually don't take time for themselves. They may not have thought of coaching as something for them, or they may not have been able to afford it privately. I hold that group because I believe this kind of support should be available to everyone. And that belief comes into every paid session too.
How it works
Six Sessions
This is the usual path: £320
(two instalments of £160, or upfront if preferred)
Single Session
Single session £60
If cost is the only thing standing in the way, please tell me. There is one reduced place at £35 available at any time, at my discretion. You do not need to explain yourself.
Payment is by bank transfer. Sessions can be cancelled or moved free of charge with 48 hours' notice.
Questions people ask
What happens in the free call?
We talk about what's happening in your life and what you would like to be different. You can ask me anything. By the end, you'll know whether coaching feels right for you, and I'll tell you plainly if I think it isn't.
Do I have to book six sessions?
No. Many people do, because change takes time, but a single session is a completely reasonable way to begin. Nothing is locked in.
What if I don't know what my "problem" is?
That's more common than you'd think, and it's a fine place to start. "Something doesn't feel settled, and I'd like to understand it" is a perfectly good beginning for coaching.
What's the difference between coaching and therapy?
Therapy tends to look at healing and deeper patterns, often with a focus on mental health difficulties. Coaching looks at where you are now and where you want to go. The two overlap at the edges, and a good coach will always tell you when therapy is the more fitting support. That is part of my job.
Is it confidential?
Yes. What you share stays between us, with the usual limits around safety: if I believed you or someone else were at serious risk, I would need to act. I explain this fully in the agreement you receive before we begin.
If something above sounds like your life at the moment, the next step is a free 20-minute call. No obligation, no pressure. Just a quiet conversation about where things are.
