Coaching gives you the time and space to focus your thinking on areas of your life where you want to develop or make a change. It is a partnership between you and your coach. You set the direction and your coach will guide and support you to reflect on what you want, what’s holding you back and what you need to do to move forward.
The benefits of coaching extend beyond the time you work with a coach. A key part of coaching is learning skills that will help you to coach yourself in the future.
Supporting independent workers
I specialise in working with freelancers, the self-employed and companies of one.
Working for yourself brings with it the freedom and flexibility to walk your own path. This can be exciting and empowering, but at times it’s also overwhelming, uncertain and isolating. You can’t do it all on your own, all of the time, and that’s where I come in.
We might work together if you’re seeking to:
- reconnect with what’s most important to you
- change your ways of working
- work through a challenge
- define your own criteria for success
- turn ideas into action
As your coach, I’ll be by your side as a sounding board and sense checker. I’ll offer a healthy amount of challenge and encouragement too.
Ways of working
Coaching is unique to you — there’s no one-size fits all approach. Every coaching engagement begins with a conversation about what you want to focus on, the approach we’ll take, and how we’ll define success.
There are a few different ways we can work together, depending on what is going on for you.
one-off
£155
A single session to help you get unstuck and generate ideas. You bring a challenge or something that’s been on your mind and we’ll clarify what you want to achieve. I’ll listen and ask questions to help you discover a way forward.
pay as you go
£115 per hour
A flexible way to experience coaching as and when you need it. We’ll start with an introductory session to clarify what you want to achieve and how we’ll track progress. You can then book future sessions to fit your schedule.
programme
£555
A fixed-price coaching programme designed to help you work the way you want. Over six sessions, we will explore a series of themes that shape how you work, including; values, identity, boundaries and productivity.
My approach
My coaching practice is founded on the belief that you already have the answers you’re seeking. My role is to ask appropriate questions to help you unlock them. Through gentle inquiry, I’ll help you to look at your situation in a new light and gain clarity about the way forward.
As your coach I will:
- encourage self-discovery
- encourage forward and positive thinking
- remain objective and non-judgmental
- help you identify and set goals
- challenge when appropriate
- gain your commitment to act
My style is empathetic, instinctive, pragmatic and supportive. These are all words my previous clients have used to describe me. As a quiet soul don’t be alarmed if I don’t say much; I use silence to create the space for you to think and find new avenues to explore.
Testimonials
Emma was very professional, warm and easy to open up to. I found her style of insightful and challenging questions the right balance to move me forward and feel I have learnt so much about my business and how I operate in it. She helped me remember to slow down, take a step back and look at the big picture.
– Louise
Emma’s calming presence encouraged me to wander with my thoughts… Their questions were deceptively powerful and provoked some real and lasting learning. I have taken so much away from our sessions and achieved way more than I thought was possible. I feel richer and more empowered as a result.
– Tim
