Individual Coaching

Coaching can help you to explore a specific goal or project that you would like to achieve & generate greater accountability for achieving it. 

People also come to coaching when they are feeling stuck.  

You may benefit from coaching if:

  • you are feeling unfulfilled, something is missing & you want more from life, your job or relationship/s etc.

  • you are lacking energy & direction

  • your sport performance has plateaued or you are not enjoying it as much as you used to

  • you are feeling a deeper sense of underlying discontent or have lost some of your “spark”

  • fear is stopping you every time you try to take a step forward 

  • you are working through a period of transition (at work, in your relationship/s, life stage etc.) or feel like you are at a crossroads but unsure which direction to turn

  • you feel like you don’t have time to do the things that you enjoy, or there is just too much to do

Coming to coaching takes courage as it involves looking honestly at your current situation & being open to change.  Coaching can help you to navigate the most tricky situations. 

Although coaching can also help you achieve more positive mental health and wellbeing, it is different to, & not a substitute for therapy. Coaching is more forward-facing & about coming up with a plan of action to help you move forward.  

When it comes to making big decisions in life or at work, or during a period of transition, people can experience a lot of well-meaning & unsolicited advice from friends and family, which doesn’t necessarily help them to move forward in the best way for them.

Coaching is different & will feel much more empowering.  It assumes that you have agency to find the solutions to your questions or challenges & choose the path that is right for you, if you are given the right thinking conditions; you know your life and situation better than anyone else.

My coaching specialises in bringing you

Clarity, Direction & Action

Gain a clearer picture of your current position & wider range of options available to you, to support effective decision-making & prioritisation.

As your accountability partner, I will help ensure that you strike the right balance between time spent thinking & doing!

Personal Growth & Learning

Learn about yourself & gain greater awareness of your signature strengths, so that you can identify opportunities to utilise these more in everyday life, sport & work.

Coaching will highlight areas for development & any limiting beliefs that may be holding you back.

Sense of Purpose & Fulfilment

Coaching can help you explore what is most important to you. Once you have done this, you can make better decisions about which goals you want to pursue & the best way of working towards them.

Focussing on purely outcome-focussed goals, without exploring how they are linked to your core purpose & values, can help you to feel good in the short term - especially if you achieve them; however, it can quickly lead to an underlying sense of discontent, disconnect & lack of motivation when you realise they might not have been your goals to begin with (& instead those expected of you by your peers, family or even your manager).

Improved Performance in Work, Sport & Life

Coaching can ensure you are living a more authentic life & operating in greater alignment with your values, pursuing your own goals & utilising your character strengths. This all supports improved wellbeing & success in all areas of work, sport & life!

Authenticity & Confidence

Coaching will increase your self-awareness, help you to accept yourself & improve your sense of self-worth & this in turn will increase your confidence.

As your confidence increases, you will find it easier to take opportunities that come your way, make decisions that are right for you, develop more meaningful relationships & lead a more fulfilling life.

Testimonials

  • "Having coaching with Tanya has enabled me to make life changing decisions about my career that I would never have done before. Although my future success is not yet defined I know it’ll come and I now have the time and energy to focus in what needs to be done.”

    Cathy Russell

  • "Tanya had helped me to look at a new perspective on my life-changing transition from a career woman to becoming a mother. She helped me to discover my core challenges and values which guided me to overcome the fear of giving birth and entering the unknown of parenthood. With her help, I was able to focus on getting myself more informed about preparing for the birth of my first daughter. She provided me with a framework that helped me to switch my ‘fear’ to ‘empowerment’. At the end I was having a really empowering birth experience and a smooth start to parenthood."

    LP, Senior Strategic Designer, Berlin

  • "Tanya was a fantastic coach. I went to her without having a really clear purpose of what I wanted to get out of it, but by her careful listening and thoughtful questioning she was able to help guide me to creating a really great plan for a work situation that I was struggling to overcome. Thanks Tanya!"

    Kate H., London

  • "Tanya has a very warm and non-judgemental style, with well-timed probing questions that encourage you to think. There is plenty of time provided for definition of the goal for the session and then as the session progresses, there are regular checks to ensure that you feel that progress is being made. But without pressure if it isn’t. The whole experience is relaxed but focused on making a difference. This is what makes the sessions so valuable. Thank you!"
