Why work with me?

As a Henley-trained executive coach and BACP-registered psychotherapist, I bring together a distinctive combination of coaching insight, therapeutic depth and first-hand experience of leading in professional services. I understand both the thrill of an ambitious career and the challenges that can come with managing demanding workloads and leadership responsibilities in complex environments, while also making space for personal and family life.

My Style

I offer a confidential space which aims to feel safe enough to explore challenges through a different lens. Curiosity is actively encouraged, creating room for fresh perspectives with more creative ways of thinking and experimentation.

Our work will combine honest reflection and compassionate challenge with practical steps to help you move towards what matters most.

I have a genuine desire to see my clients thrive. Many have shared that they value my authenticity, and the safe space I create, where they can finally say things they’ve never felt able to share before. However, there is no pressure, we work at your pace focusing on what feels most important and manageable for you.

Specialisms

Having designed and led a development programme for emerging women leaders, coached many senior women and introduced a flagship parental-transition coaching programme, I bring particular interest and expertise in women’s leadership, combining parenthood with a demanding career, and the wider themes of gender equality and inclusion.

Next Steps

If you choose to work with me, I’ll look forward to getting to know you, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you and uncover what truly matters most. My hope is that our work together leaves you feeling calmer, clearer, and more confident about the path ahead.

Client Reflections

At the end of our work together, some clients have chosen to share their reflections. Their words are included here with permission.

“Taking myself through therapy was a big decision and I was very apprehensive before meeting Anna. Anna’s calm and judgement free approach put me at ease from the outset. The taster session was a great introduction about what therapy is about, a little about Anna, the opportunity to ask questions, share what brought me to therapy and 'check fit’ between us. Anna helped me address key challenges by giving me space to explore what was going on for me, help me make sense of root issues, whilst providing appropriate challenge and support. I came away with a clear practical plan and approach and a much greater understanding of myself. Thank you Anna!”

— Therapy Client

“Anna has a strong passion for helping clients unlock their potential. It is clear that she enjoys seeing her clients thrive when they are empowered. Her approach is rooted in compassion and trust which makes it easier to open up and take real steps forward. I made significant changes in my life as a result of our work together, more progress than I have made with anyone else”

— Coaching Client

“Anna created a warm, trusting space where I felt genuinely heard and understood. She has a thoughtful way of noticing patterns, making connections and asking questions that helped me see things differently. I came away with a deeper understanding of myself, greater clarity and more confidence in how I wanted to move forward."
