Alex Akrimi

Hi, I’m Alex.

I am a certified Life and Executive Coach dedicated to helping women rewrite the stories that have held them back and move forward with clarity, confidence, and empowerment.

My coaching is simple, human, and fully committed to your growth. It offers a grounded space to quiet the noise, reconnect with your authentic voice, and create meaningful change.

Whether you are feeling stuck, standing on the edge of something bigger, or exploring what’s next, I am here to support you in stepping forward with purpose, power, and self-belief.

My mission is to empower women to create deeply fulfilling, aligned lives. By supporting both your personal and professional world, I help you gain clarity, make confident decisions, and build a life that truly reflects who you are.

As a coach, I bring an outside perspective that helps uncover patterns we often miss when we are deeply involved in our own lives. I notice cycles, blind spots, and subtle signals at work and at home that may be quietly holding you back.

Together, we bring awareness to what feels familiar but no longer serves you, so you can move forward with greater intention, confidence, and self-trust. 

My Background

Before becoming a life coach, I spent over 25 years working in education and leadership roles, including senior positions within global education organisations. During that time, I led teams, shaped strategy, and managed complex programmes and change.

While my career was rewarding, it also gave me a deep understanding of the realities many women face in their professional lives balancing responsibility, navigating pressure, questioning their direction, and sometimes wondering if they are truly where they want to be.

Like many women, I have experienced moments of transition, uncertainty, and growth myself. I understand what it feels like to stand at a crossroads, to question what comes next, and to want something more aligned and meaningful.

My professional background spans coaching, lecturing, training delivery, leadership, data analysis, and organisational development, which gives me both practical insight and real-world perspective on how change and growth actually happen.

These experiences shape the way I coach today. I combine professional expertise with empathy and understanding, creating a supportive space where you can explore your challenges openly and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

How I Will Support You

Life coaching provides a supportive and confidential space for reflection, clarity, and personal growth.

Together, we will explore where you are now, what may be holding you back, and where you truly want to be. Through thoughtful questions and structured conversation, we uncover deeper awareness, challenge limiting beliefs, and create practical steps forward.

My coaching approach is holistic, recognising that personal and professional challenges are often interconnected.

Together, we may explore areas such as:

• Confidence and self-belief
• Career direction and transitions
• Navigating change and uncertainty
• Setting boundaries
• Decision-making and clarity
• Leadership and personal growth

As a certified iEQ9 practitioner, I also offer the iEQ9 Enneagram assessment as a powerful self-awareness tool. The iEQ9 provides deep insight into your core motivations, behaviours, strengths, and growth areas, helping you understand the patterns shaping how you think, feel, lead, and respond under pressure.

This can be explored as a standalone self-awareness session or combined with ongoing coaching to deepen and personalise your development journey. When integrated into coaching, it enhances reflection, accelerates insight, and supports more intentional growth.

What You Will Gain

Through coaching, you will develop greater clarity, confidence, and self-awareness.

You may begin to notice:

• Clearer thinking and stronger decision-making
• Increased confidence in your abilities
• A deeper understanding of what truly matters to you
• The courage to make meaningful changes
• A stronger sense of balance between your personal and professional life

Ultimately, coaching helps you create a life that feels more aligned, purposeful, and authentic to who you are.

A Gentle First Step

If something here resonates with you, I invite you to book a free 30-minute Discovery Call.

This is a relaxed, supportive, and no-pressure conversation where we can explore where you are now, what you would like to be different, and what support might help you move forward. It’s also an opportunity for you to experience how I work and decide whether we feel like a good fit.

Many women share that they feel lighter, clearer, and calmer even after this first (free) conversation.

You can book your Discovery Call using the button at the top of this page, or schedule directly here:

If you are navigating change, feeling stuck, or simply considering coaching, I invite you to use this time to pause, reflect, and explore whether we are a good fit to work together.

This complimentary 30-minute call is a focused, no-pressure conversation. There is no obligation simply space for us to discuss where you are now, where you would like to be, and how I might support you in getting there.

You will leave the call with greater clarity about your next steps, and we can both assess whether coaching with me feels aligned.
