"Coaching has had a profound effect on me. My confidence at work is shifting more positively and I just feel more able to be present . I feel so much lighter. I feel I have effective strategies in place to support my wellbeing and some tools to engage in my negative thoughts and talk my way through them."

I am a trained coach, member of the International Coaching Federation, qualified hypnotherapist and mum of three.

I work with people who want to bring positive change into their lives - whether that’s bringing more joy or calm to your everyday, changing careers, or becoming a more present parent.

I began my career working for the National Trust Magazine, where I was Deputy Editor for eight years. My favourite part of that role was getting to interview different people for magazine features. I loved listening, asking pertinent questions and forming one-to-one connections with people.

I went on to train as a hypnobirthing instructor and hypnotherapist after doing a hypnobirthing course, when I was pregnant with my first daughter. The course helped me feel empowered and positive about birth and I wanted to help other women feel this shift. Over the course of six years I worked with 100s of women and their birth partners.

Training as a personal and business coach felt like the next right step - having changed careers and balanced working around three young children I know how powerful making positive shifts and changes can be, as well as understanding the guilt, anxiety and overwhelm that motherhood can bring.

"Deborah made me feel utterly safe and supported and provided me with knowledgeable tools that were Fantastic. I feel empowered to make positive changes - and have already seen the benefit and difference to my day to day life and general outlook and approach to things that trouble me."

What is coaching?

Coaching is an amazing and empowering process that can help with so many aspects of motherhood - from building confidence, to challenging limiting beliefs, bringing more calm into your life or managing anxiety and impostor syndrome.

Coaching is a partnership in which we will explore your everyday reality and increase your self awareness, enabling you to make shifts in your life, whether these are small or big changes.

Who I work with

I work with mothers who want to enjoy their lives more, manage anxiety and overwhelm and build confidence. Many of my clients come to coaching because they want to make a change - the subjects and challenges my clients bring often include:

Increasing confidence

Becoming a more present parent

CAREER CHANGE & RETURNING TO WORK

Challenging limiting beliefs

Understanding Neurodiversity

Managing overwhelm & ANXIETY

Exploring and understanding emotions

Increasing calm and fun

How I work

I work in a warm and supportive way - from my garden studio in Sonning Common or virtually. I create a safe and confidential space that is judgement-free where my clients feel seen, heard and nurtured. I am empathetic and a great listener and draw from my knowledge of TA, positive psychology and neuroscience.
I bring in somatic, NLP, and visualisation exercises, as well as my hypnotherapy experience.

I recommend booking a course of sessions that can be held one or two weeks apart.

My fees are £75 for an hour’s session or £400 for a block of six.

I would recommend a block of six sessions to help integrate shifts in habits and make change - holding the sessions a week or two apart helps build motivation. For some a few sessions might be enough.
