Warm, practical and supportive approach
I work with people who've reached one of those points where something needs to change — whether that's connected to work, health, relationships, menopause, confidence or simply wanting something different from the years ahead.
My approach is warm, practical and supportive. I won't tell you what you should do. I'll help you step back from the noise, explore what matters to
you and find your own way forward.
Life & Change
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed or facing a change in your circumstances?
Coaching can help you regain clarity and confidence, understand what matters to you now and decide what you'd like to be different.
Work & Career
Perhaps work no longer suits the life you want, you're considering a career change, returning after illness or simply wondering what's next.
Coaching gives you space to explore your options and work out what you want from work now.

FAQs
What is life and career coaching?
Life and career coaching gives you a confidential, supportive space to step back from everyday life and focus on you.
Rather than telling you what you should do, I'll ask questions, help you explore different perspectives and support you in working out what matters to you and what you'd like to
change. We can explore your career, relationships, confidence, priorities, life changes or anything else that's important to you.
How do I know if coaching is right for me?
You don't need to have a big goal or a clear plan.
You might simply feel stuck, overwhelmed, dissatisfied or unsure what comes next. Perhaps something in your life has changed, or what used to work for you no longer feels right.
If you'd like some space to think things through and are open to exploring what could be different, coaching could be a good place to start.
If you're unsure, book a free 30-minute Discovery Call and we can talk about whether coaching feels right for you.
What can I talk about in a coaching session?
Almost anything that's important to you.
That might include your career, confidence, relationships, work-life balance, changing priorities, returning to work, redundancy, menopause, life after illness, a difficult decision or
simply the feeling that something needs to change. You decide what you'd like to focus on. There isn't a set agenda that you have to follow.
What's the difference between coaching, counselling and therapy?
Coaching is generally focused on where you are now, where you'd like to be and what might help you move forward.
Counselling and therapy may involve exploring emotional difficulties, past experiences, trauma or mental health concerns in greater depth.
There can be some overlap, but coaching isn't therapy and I won't diagnose or treat mental health conditions. If it becomes clear that another type of professional support would
be more appropriate, we'll talk about that openly.
Do I need to know what I want before I start coaching?
Not at all. Many people come to coaching because they know something doesn't feel right but aren't sure what they want to change.
Coaching gives you the space to step back, explore what's going on and begin to understand what matters to you now.
“I don't know what I want, but I know I don't want things to stay like this” is a perfectly good place to start.
How many coaching sessions will I need?
It depends on what you'd like to work on.
If you have one particular decision, challenge or situation you'd like to think through, my 75-minute Clarity Session may be all you need.
If you're looking for a more significant change or want time to explore what comes next, The Next Chapter includes six 50-minute sessions, usually spread over several months.
We can talk about what would suit you during your free Discovery Call.
How much does coaching cost?
My 30-minute Discovery Call is completely free and there's no obligation to continue afterwards.
My 30-minute Speedy Session is £35
My 50-minute Standard Session is £60
A 75-minute Clarity Session is £80.
The Next Chapter is currently £350 at the introductory price and includes six individual 50-minute coaching sessions.
If you have a Clarity Session and decide within seven days that you'd like to continue with The Next Chapter, I'll deduct the £80 you've already paid from the programme price.
Are coaching sessions online or face-to-face?
My coaching sessions are currently available online, which means you can work with me wherever you are.
Online coaching also makes it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments without needing to travel.
All you need is somewhere private where you feel comfortable talking and a reliable internet connection.
Is coaching confidential?
Yes.
What we discuss during your coaching sessions is confidential, and creating a space where you feel able to speak openly is an important part of how I work.
There are limited circumstances where confidentiality may need to be broken—for example, where there is a serious concern about someone's safety or where disclosure is
required by law. I will explain confidentiality and its boundaries clearly when we begin working together.
What happens during the free Discovery Call?
The Discovery Call is a relaxed, 30-minute conversation with no obligation to book anything afterwards.
You can tell me a little about what's going on for you and what you'd like help with. I'll explain how I work and answer any questions you have about coaching.
Most importantly, it gives us both an opportunity to see whether working together feels like a good fit.
You don't need to prepare anything beforehand and you certainly don't need to arrive knowing exactly what you want.

"Penny has made me feel very comfortable
during our coaching sessions. I was able to
relax and openly discuss the issues and
dilemmas I faced. She prompted me to think about situations from a different perspective"
TW (UK)
"Penny has been a very supportive and approachable coach. She has a warm, welcoming presence which allows me to feel comfortable during our sessions. She always recognises and acknowledges how I feel and gives me time to talk this through. Penny helped me navigate a major life decision of switching careers. I am grateful to Penny for her support and would definitely recommend her as a coach"
TM (USA)
"Penny was an exceptional coach over the 4-5 times meeting with her. I’ll be honest I was skeptical being coaching by someone outside of my finance department and across the globe, but Penny brought a different perspective that was extremely helpful. She asked the right questions, gave me the adequate time to think through my response and let me talk it out."
