Not sure where to begin?

If you’re newly promoted into a leadership role, or wanting to become a Senior Leader, the Leadership Coaching for Mid-Career Professionals programme is designed for you. There is a 3-month self-funded option. And a 4-month employer-funded option with Hogan Assessments included. You’ll understand yourself as a leader, and deepen your leadership skills, so you can lead without losing yourself or burning out.

If you’re feeling lost or stuck, in life or work. Lacking motivation, navigating changes, or facing a big decision in life or at work, a Personal and Career Coaching programme can help you get unstuck, make a notable change, or move towards something or somewhere new.

If neither of the above is right for you, Bespoke Coaching offers a flexible approach. From one-off sessions to ongoing monthly maintenance, you get coaching tailored to your specific needs.

If you are emotionally or mentally struggling, need to explore a recent challenge or feel a pull to deep dive into past experiences, or wish to enhance your self-understanding and take a proactive approach to your mental wellbeing then Counselling and Psychotherapy is for you.

If you’re uncertain about which way to go, or want to combine coaching and therapy, let’s chat. Book yourself a free 30 minute Discovery & Connection call and together we’ll figure out the best option for you.

COACH 𑇐 COUNSELLOR 𑇐 LEADER 𑇐 PSYCHOTHERAPIST-IN-TRAINING 𑇐 NED 𑇐 TRUSTEE

Hello, my name is Donna

I have been working in people-focussed roles for more than twenty years, initially as a team leader, and latterly as a Head of People and Trustee. Alongside this I worked as a charity volunteer supporting elderly people and those experiencing homelessness.

I am now a Personal, Career and Leadership Coach, working with individuals and organisations. And a Therapist for charities and in private practice.

Because integrity matters to me, I’ve trained extensively in business, coaching and psychology. This mix means I understand life pressures, the working world, and crucially our humanness, including why we do the things we do and how change happens.
