Unlock your potential
with coaching

Life coaching for individuals and
people working in the education sector

About 

Life is full of ups and downs, and can make us feel as if we are out of control or just coasting. We can all get stuck in the same old patterns and feel that we're not making any progress. As your coach I'll support you and help you to move forward with whatever it is that's holding you back. I'll encourage you to think through things in depth with the belief that the right solution lies within you. Drawing upon my own creative strengths, calm manner and attentive listening skills you'll be able to explore possibilities for positive change.

How I Work

​Life Coaching for Individuals

​

Individual coaching sessions can provide a safe space in which to examine and refresh your thinking personally and professionally.  We're all human and whilst there are calls to ‘live your best life’, there are lots of practical, emotional, financial and historical barriers that can stand in our way. 

 

Change can be difficult. It rarely happens overnight, and to be truly sustainable it may take time. It involves lots of soul searching, adapting to different approaches, taking risks and being prepared for things not to work out as planned.

 

Life coaching will help you to underpin all this with a determination and  self-belief that things can be better. I cannot promise that you will suddenly be transformed. But I can assure you that I will support you to think through your situation. Your new found confidence will help you find the best possible solution and course of action.

​

If you would like the option of using some creative art techniques in your session to aid exploration please let me know.

​I offer a free 30 minute ‘chemistry’ session to find out if we're a good fit. If we decide we'd like to continue, I usually recommend starting with 6 sessions, after which we will have a review to see how things are going.

 

Online coaching sessions for 60 minutes cost £60 and  £75 for 90 minutes. 

 

Introductory offer: Get 50% off your first 2 x 60 minute sessions when you sign up to 6 coaching sessions.

Outdoor Coaching

​

Walking beside you, spending time in nature can bring a fresh perspective to issues that are concerning you.  I like to use the many metaphors that being outside can bring. Drawing upon our sensory responses and increasing our observational skills can inspire our creative thinking allowing us to consider something new. We can work together to find the right environment for you to explore what is important, learning from nature’s ever changing resilience to respond to challenge and change.

​

Walks can be arranged at the following North London open spaces: Hampstead Heath, Trent Park, Hadley Woods, Totteridge and Mill Hill, Regents Park and canal, Parkland Walk or outside in a convenient urban or park location where you feel comfortable. Dogs are welcome.  Come prepared for British weather.

​

​​

I offer a free 30 minute consultation call or zoom session to see if we are a good fit. If we decide we'd like to continue we will agree a location to meet. All you need is appropriate clothing for the unpredictable British weather and some comfortable footwear. We will walk at an acceptable pace for you. Bring some change if you'd like a cafe stop. Dogs welcome. 

 

Introductory offer:

Book 3 x 90 minute sessions  and your first session will be half price.

Outdoor coaching sessions are £75. Longer sessions are available by arrangement.

Maternity Coaching

 

For working women navigating your way through pregnancy and maternity leave can be very challenging, whether you are a mother to be for the first time or extending your family. Together we will look at where you are now and how best I can support you through this time of transition. 

 

We will explore what changes motherhood brings to identity and take the opportunity to look at your work through a lens.  It is all about getting the balance right to help you settle back in to your place of work and move forward.

​

I offer a free 30 minute 'chemistry' session call or zoom meeting to see if we are a good fit.  The maternity coaching package is for 6 sessions, face to face or online, comprising of 2 sessions before maternity leave begins, 2 sessions during the maternity leave and 2 sessions on return to work.

​

Maternity coaching package: £500

Coaching for People in the Education Sector

 

With many years of working in the education system I understand the stresses and strains involved and the importance of maintaining a healthy work/life balance. I offer individual coaching sessions for head teachers, leadership teams, middle leaders and newly qualified staff. We will look at how to become a better leader, regulate energy levels, prioritise wellbeing and experience professional growth.

 

Coaching can improve working relationships and help to bring the best out of a team. Creating a coaching culture within a school empowers people to find solutions themselves. We'll grow a team of supportive individuals, improve job satisfaction and transform the work environment. 

​

I offer an initial free 30 minute consultation call with your lead member of staff. You can tell me about the challenges you and your staff are facing, ask me any questions and I'll suggest how I may be able to help. I offer individual online coaching sessions for staff members or face-to-face on your school site, depending on location.

 

Introductory offer: 5 members of staff x 1 hour individual sessions for the price of 4.  1 hr sessions cost £60.
Sessions face to face or online.

How I work

Heather has extraordinary coaching methods and I feel I am now able to enhance certain techniques in my overall confidence and emotions.  She has a calm and logical method of coaching that truly connects and has inspired me. 

​

My coaching with Heather was a very enjoyable and productive experience. It enabled me to
really focus on my skills and assets and to highlight qualities I didn’t realise were there.

 

It was an incredibly useful way to see all the positive attributes I have and how to use these and move forward to do and achieve what I want. I would highly recommend it for anyone who is questioning their path.

​

Previous coaching clients

Heather is friendly and calm and the sessions were always so positive and very enjoyable. I liked that there were tasks to do. It was good to have the structure of some homework.

​

​

I would recommend coaching as I was surprised at how positive an experience it was. I really liked that nothing negative was focused on.

​

​

Heather’s work has made a significant difference to my outlook of life.  When I was most in need, Heather was able to summarise, and in turn, teach me to understand what matters.
