“By the rules of aerodynamics, bumblebees shouldn’t fly”
Early experts said its body was too big and its wings too small…
The Bumblebee flew anyway.
Anna Eaton
Integrative Psychotherapist | Executive Coach
Welcome! I’m Anna, founder of The Coaching Hive, a thinking space to slow down, make sense of what you’re facing, and find your way forward.
Pushing through to deliver exceptional work may have served you well in the past, so I understand how counterintuitive slowing down can feel. Yet, much like the bumblebee, you may carry thoughts, feelings and beliefs that sit just outside your awareness and limit what feels possible. As a psychotherapist and executive coach, I offer compassionate, curious and pragmatic support as we explore these patterns together, bringing them into greater awareness, loosening their hold and helping you find your own way to take flight.
I bring over 20 years’ experience in people leadership across financial and professional services, partnering with leaders as they navigate complex people and organisational change. Along the way, I discovered that what inspires me most is individual transformation: helping people uncover their true potential, expand their sense of what’s possible, and take purposeful action toward success that feels as fulfilling on the inside as it looks on the outside.
Today, as a dual-qualified practitioner, I coach partners and senior leaders at one of the world’s largest professional services firms.
Through my private practice here at The Coaching Hive, I also work as a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist, offering a different kind of space to deepen self-awareness, explore unconscious patterns, and, at times, work through difficult or distressing emotions. Through this process, you can move towards healing, improved mental health, and a greater sense of wellbeing.
As a registered member of the BACP, I undertake regular clinical supervision and work in accordance with the BACP’s Ethical Framework. I am committed to bringing care, integrity, professionalism and confidentiality to our work together.
At the heart of my practice is the belief that, within a supportive space, deeper self-understanding can lead to lasting change. It is a privilege to help clients step away from the noise, listen more closely to themselves and, like the bumblebee, discover their capacity for flight.
