develop your leadership skills with courage and intention without sacrificing your wellbeing

I can help you deepen your self awareness, build your confidence and keep your wellbeing at the heart of your lifestyle as you develop your leadership skills.

Whether you want to progress in your career, grow your business or develop your own self-leadership, together we will recognise and harness your strengths and inner wisdom so that you can not only survive, but thrive and flourish.

At the heart of my coaching is the acknowledgement that you are immensely powerful. We each have a deep desire to live courageously with purpose and freedom. The question we yearn to answer is how do I live a meaningful and fulfilled life?

Yet sometimes we feel lost, conflicted or doubtful, unsure if we have what it takes to face this new challenge or adventure. Sometimes we sacrifice our own wellbeing, ignoring or unaware of our most basic needs.

Sometimes we need a helping hand to remember what we’re capable of, to set intentions and to walk towards them.

I believe that, at its most fundamental level, coaching offers a safe space for self-reflection, enabling change. As your facilitator, my role is to help you recognise what you’re capable of, offer you tools to safely explore what you want, what you value and what’s possible, then to help you bring life to your vision with small, achievable steps and an appreciation of your progress.

Each session is tailored to you and where you are in this moment, combining tools I’ve learnt and used for over 15 years. These include:

A range of coaching tools from various coaching and therapeutic disciplines
Meditations and creative visualisations
Embodiment tools
Inner voices work, including inner child, inner critic and shadow work.

Erika has been fantastic, thank you

Hi Erika, Just wanted to voice my gratitude again for our sessions, they were so helpful. I noticed such an incredible surge in opportunities and positive growth off the back of your coaching so thank you again.

Erika was incredible. She was able to quickly understand what support I needed and provide it. Erika also has the most calming and relaxing voice, which really helped me talk through my situation and open up. Without this support I would not have as much confidence in myself and my abilities, and I wouldn't have benefited from the increased income.

It was an amazing help. It helped me identify the source of my insecurities and feel more confident at work. It also helped in my personal life since my anxiety was damaging my personal relationships and my self esteem.

Thank you so much for all of your help Erika. You’re great at your job and I really appreciate your help.

Hi Erika, I got the job I was going for. Really happy and excited. Thanks so much for your coaching sessions, they were both so helpful in getting me in a more positive frame of mind and I think it made such a difference for the interview. So much thanks and gratitude for you!

Thank you so much for everything!!! You are so bloody brilliant at what you do!

I have completed it. The coaching has been life changing for me! Thank you

I have my own business so it has transformed my decision making skills and I am now able to trust my gut instinct.

Hi Erika, Thanks so much for your coaching. It was excellent and I’ll always appreciate it.

I absolutely love chatting to Erika. She’s incredibly positive and helpful and has really helped me self-reflect in unhelpful thought patterns and negative spiralling.

Erika was amazing. She helped me realise how capable I am and has increased my confidence massively. A brilliant listener and so great to speak to.

I can’t praise Erika enough, she was so flexible so booking in a session was really easy to do. Erika has helped me to recognise the work I’ve been already doing to improve my relationship with myself and to celebrate and be proud of myself. After every conversation I’ve always felt so enlightened and I’ve gone away with some interesting thoughts. I’ve felt more confident and more capable after this experience.

Erika is absolutely fabulous. Really helpful, and really kind.

Honestly, Erika was so lovely to talk to. The physical/embodiment stuff like putting yourself on a scale of something and moving to where you'd like to be was so helpful.

I found it really helpful to speak to Erika. She helped me clarify my thoughts and having someone to speak to helped me to self reflect in a more positive way.

I really look forward to my coaching sessions. I get such a lot from them.

My coach Erika has been incredible so far, I am on session 4 out of 6 and always feel so positive, supported and lifted after our sessions. She is great, easy going, professional but also so kind and personable its really great having such a grounded coach who is also very knowledgeable and happy to work through any problem or issue I have around work / career guidance.

Erika has really helped me to understand my strengths and have difficult conversations with my boss which have helped me to start moving towards a career I'm excited about pursuing

I found speaking with Erika a really useful experience. She really helped me to understand my current skillset and get a better understanding of how I can move myself forwards whether within my current company or externally. I cannot thank Erika enough.

Erika has been excellent. It has been really good for my mental well-being to be able to talk through the challenges that I have been facing at work with someone external and receive reassurances and a confidence boost, especially in these difficult and isolating times.

I found Erika very easy to talk to and a great listener. She really put me at ease and allowed me to open up about the things that were preventing me from excelling my career and overcome any obstacles.

Erika was amazing, so supportive and great at listening. The questions she asked were amazing and made me question and think. I couldn't recommend this more.

Very reflective and thought-provoking about what you want for your future holistically, not just career wise.

I increased my skills/qualifications. It helped me set goals and make a plan.

It helped me to process some of the things that I have been feeling and to better understand myself.

Erika was so lovely and helped me to change the way I look at my situation! Such a confidence boost that I needed so badly, and it turns out that was all that was standing between me and my new job.

I had a lovely coach. Talking to Erika gave me the push I needed to move

Erika has been a great support so far, I look forward to further sessions with her.

I was pleasantly surprised at how attentive Erika was and the time she took to listen to me. Thank you again, it was really very helpful.

It was fantastic! Erika was really warm, positive and thoughtful - it was just what I needed during a stressful and uncertain time. I felt the benefits after just one session with her and it was such a boost to be able to reflect on my strengths and skills - which before speaking, I was struggling to recognise. Thank you!

Erika was so lovely and supportive! She really helped me reflect on strengths and believe them.

Erika was super helpful and understanding, she was patient, thoughtful and perceptive. She allowed me the space to open up about how I was feeling, whilst also encouraging me to approach ideas relating to work in a more positive and curious way.

It really helped my confidence and motivation to explore new options. It made me feel like I am able to do something new.

I’m so glad you are my coach. You really are so talented, kind and intuitive.

The sessions pushed me to reflect on my situation, and how it was impacting those around me and myself. The coaching was great. Erika was very sympathetic, I did not feel judged and she was able to capture what I was going through in better words.

[Without the support] I would be feeling trapped and despondent in my old position, without confidence or knowledge of support to help me get to where I am now. It helped SO MUCH.

Coaching helped me realise what I need vs what I want from a job, and why my job at the time was causing me problems. Without that I may have just stayed there, but I have a different job now, which I really enjoy.

Erika was absolutely fantastic. She was a wonderful and very engaged listener. Her advice and inputs always came across as thoughtful, sensitive, helpful. I came away from every session feeling like we'd made a lot of progress: I felt more confident in my skillset, more optimistic in my abilities, more able to tackle issues that had held me back or made me anxious beforehand. I really appreciated her highly professional and yet personable coaching style. She was / is truly brilliant and has made a big difference to my life.

Erika was a phenomenal coach. She was so gracious in her approach to working with me. She definitely felt like a life coach as well as a work coach she really helped me discover things abount myself that I’ve been struggling to understand for years. My confidence has completely sky rocketed. My overall experience was better than I ever expected it to be. It has definitely changed my life forever.

Before starting coaching, I felt trapped, isolated and not in control. I had lost my confidence, had no sense of direction and just felt unfulfilled and unsatisfied with everything. I would always say I was going to do things then not do them. Without Erika, I would have not left a job that I felt like I outgrew a long time ago and would have stayed where I wasn’t appreciated. She gave me the confidence to do so. She helped me accept myself more by being self compassionate, realise it isn’t selfish to take breaks or do things for me. She helped me get clear on my goals and stay accountable to them. I have realised the journey is just as important as the destination, that I am capable and can cope in any given situation. I know I have options, can always go back to something and that it is okay to leave something that is not serving me anymore. She supported me to make better decisions, work on my self limiting beliefs, become a better problem solver and just go for things, no matter the outcome. I now trust myself more and I am excited to continue my journey. Whereas, before I didn’t think I had any skills or even much of a future. I now understand what I want and how to achieve those goals. I’m more willing to explore my options and go for things even if I’m scared. I now realise it’s better to try than not know. I can’t thank Erika enough. She made every phone call feel like a safe space.

I was made redundant before lockdown happened, and after months of not working, I suffered a lot and was anxious about what job was right for me and how to approach job hunting. The coaching gave me clarity and understanding of myself and my skillset and how to apply myself when in an interview. I think this coaching is fantastic and highly recommend it to anyone. Even if they are happy where they are and in the job they are in, coaching can widen horizons and view points and give another perspective.

It was brilliant to talk to someone objective who only listened and didn't make any judgements or decisions for me. It's so difficult to talk about jobs with my family because I feel they push me in the way they want me to go. It was so refreshing to speak to Erika and for her to guide me to find out what I wanted and needed. She was so patient and gave me so much time. I felt I could trust her and not be a burden on her. She guided me to give positive answers about myself and so I came away feeling motivated.
