Coaching Services
Welcome. I'm Louise, and I have been coaching individuals and teams since 1998.
I am proud to have been at the 'coal face' of people's careers and lives, coaching them to make positive changes that lead to greater happiness and achieving more.
I offer my coaching clients a confidential and objective conversation space underpinned by professional practice and a lifelong passion for helping others.
I offer a range of specialist coaching services, available in various ways for you to access. Depending on my clients' needs, I tailor the service accordingly.
What is coaching?
I describe coaching as a type of conversation.
One that can help you make meaningful or critical changes in your life.
Coaching focuses on goals, and the coach brings a specialised set of skills and techniques to help you achieve them.
A coach's key role is to help you see that you have the potential to achieve the desired change.
Even if you're unsure of the path to take.
A coach is there to guide you and help you gain clarity about your next steps.
Sometimes, a single coaching session is enough to help you.
However, several sessions will be required if the change is complex or significant.
Career Coaching
This type of coaching focuses on career changes. This might include starting a business venture, working towards a promotion, recovering from a redundancy or figuring out a completely new career direction.
It is often used to helpful to weigh up options and create a plan, such as how to transition to a new career whilst still managing existing commitments like finances and family.
Professional Skills
This type of coaching focuses on helping business-savvy professionals progress their careers and succeed in business.
Common topics include building a professional brand, or developing the right reputation and influence with clients, stakeholders and colleagues.
A common topic is developing business relationships more swiftly and deeply. This might mean developing deeper emotional intelligence, greater confidence and resilience .
Leadership
Leadership is a unique role and one that is challenging and complex in todays fast paced business world. Often I work with leaders who are newly promoted into a leadership role or working towards a promotion. Common topics for leaders include leadership confidence, scaling up in the role, impact and brand, influence, strategy, culture, performance, equality and diversity and untimely the impact and legacy that their leadership will have on those they are leading.
I can help you develop the tools, skills and mindset required to thrive as a leader.
Life Coaching
Life coaching is a big topic! It might include helping you decide to take a career break, how to implement a wellness plan, or adopt a new lifestyle.
Life coaching is often used to help you through important life events. This might include adapting to life as a parent or being diagnosed as neurodivergent. A common topic for life coaching is feeling overwhelmed, so as a coach I can help you simplify things and make positive changes to reduce this.
Small Group
Coaching
In small groups, coaching is a brilliant way to solve problems, share learning and accelerate performance. Builds skills and confidence to navigate common issues like overflowing diaries, engaging clients with impact, or inclusive team management.
