Heather Coaching
Why coaching?
I help women achieve change in their lives, find space to think, get insight and clarity and discover actionable goals. Coaching is essentially a conversation, where we co-create a brave space to find new perspective, and where magic happens in this unique time away from normal life. Here, new thinking and possibilities are opened up, while also exploring the places in you that hold you back. Using a whole person approach including emotions and body sensations, we dive into your goals and uncover what stands in the way of you achieving what you want to achieve in the way you want to achieve it.

Coaching Vision
My vision of coaching is to support you to make meaningful change. I see you as a whole person, an expert in your issues and with the potential to be wholly resourceful. I love the magic of coaching, how it opens up thinking, unlocks potential and understanding and leads to moments of insight and real, lasting change.

Calligraphy by Ange Philp
“‘I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started coaching sessions with Heather, and was feeling stuck and pessimistic about what might be possible, but I’ve made so much progress through working with her it’s been truly transformational. Heather is so easy to talk to, knowledgeable and supportive, and has helped me to develop skills and insights that I know will continue to help me going forward. I can’t recommend this coaching highly enough.’ ”
Personal Style
My personal style is warm and gentle, while also offering challenge when it’s needed. I work together with you to create a brave space of curiosity and non-judgment, and I work with the whole person (your thinking and also emotions and physical sensations, e.g. where in your body you feel something and what it feels like). I encourage you to unlock your own creativity and curiosity. I help you to identify blocks and challenges, which often involves looking back at where these started, what function they served back then, and creating tools together to identify the self-limiting beliefs when they arise. I work with you to identify your strengths and values.
I deeply and actively listen, reflect and summarise and follow your thread to pull out the themes. I bring my curiosity in always asking the next question and wanting to understand your world. In the same way, my curiosity fuels my own practice of self-reflection and constant discovery. I have the courage to go into the unknown and be present there in myself and with clients, and the confidence to trust the process, my own skills and your resourcefulness.
