There is often more capability, choice and possibility available to you than the story you're currently telling yourself allows you to see
You know you're capable of more but something's getting in the way.
You might be experiencing self-doubt, limiting stories, uncertainty, lack of clarity, a transition or other barriers.
What if you could reconnect with your core values, strengths, worth and purpose? And trust yourself so that you can move forward with the freedom to flourish? That's where my coaching comes in.
My Coaching Approach
I listen beneath the surface to uncover what's being obscured and challenge limiting stories, making capability visible, reconnecting you with yourself and expanding your sense of possibility
Hear
...what's underneath the problem
Challenge
...beliefs, assumptions and patterns keeping you stuck
Champion
...the capability and possibility you aren't yet able to see for yourself or own

Client Case Studies
1:1 Coaching
“I wholeheartedly recommend Gemma as a career coach. Her approach was exactly what I needed - gently challenging my negative thought patterns with a perfect balance of kindness and understanding. I came to her with a specific goal and struggled with imposter syndrome and a lack of self-belief. Gemma guided me through these challenges step by step, and by the end of our sessions, my confidence had grown significantly. I found myself stepping out of my comfort zone and tackling things I initially thought impossible. I truly believe that, without Gemma's support, I wouldn't have progressed in my role as quickly as I did.
I later returned to Gemma for additional sessions to navigate major changes in my work situation, including the redundancy of a role I loved. Her guidance was invaluable in helping me manage the emotional challenges that came with this transition. While I've had coaching before and found it helpful, the experience with Gemma was by far the most impactful. Thanks to her, I now carry a newfound confidence into a new role at a new company, and I’m certain the lessons I’ve learned with her will continue to serve me throughout my career.”
Executive Assistant
Group Coaching
“I had the pleasure of working with Gemma and Lisa through the development and delivery of a Women in Leadership programme, aimed at aspiring female leaders within our organisation.
The programme Gemma and Lisa designed was thorough, insightful and thought provoking, and incorporated tangible outcomes for both the participants and the organisation. The programme was designed to ensure continual support and development with one to one coaching and mentoring opportunities for all participants in between delivered sessions, which kept momentum and engagement going.
All the participants came away from the programme with a more positive view of themselves, their value and their abilities - even those who may have been a bit sceptical at the start! Thank you both for all the time and effort you put into making this programme a success!”
