About me

What if the way you're feeling right now, isn't the end of the story...
What if change is possible and your journey starts right here!


I see you lovely. You've built a beautiful life for yourself, you've done the work and forged a path to the job, the home, the friends, the family, the life you deeply wanted, but now you're here something doesn't feel quite right, doesn't feel the way you thought it would...Somewhere along the way you've lost yourself amongst all the should's and expectations, underneath the relentless pressure and pace of modern life, but it doesn't have to be this way.

The connected, present, vibrant, YOU that is nourished by and alive within your life, they're ready and waiting for you to say yes lovely, yes to yourself and to the life you really want to be living, yes to choice and possibility and freedom.  Let me help you reclaim them. 

Let's bring more YOU into your life… let's start right now. 

Get to know me…

Hi I'm Amy,  Holistic Life and Wellbeing coach. I bring with me over a decade's worth of experience working in the world wellness and mental health. Over the years I have coached, mentored and advocated for people of all ages in statutory services, voluntary organisations and educational institutions, seeing incredible results and transformations.

I have also walked (and continue to walk-I believe it's a life long practice for living) the path you're on right now. I have moved beyond 10 years of anxiety, radically changed the state of my nervous system and am gently returning to myself and my authority through the teacher of chronic health issues.
I deeply understand what it is do this work, and I'm with you every step of the way. I combine both evidence based practice and intuition, to offer a unique approach which empowers you to bring your whole self to the table, and say YES to the life you truly want to live. 

I am a registered member of the Association for Coaching (MAC), and I hold an enhanced DBS certificate. 

What does coaching with me look like?

I draw on several psychological and physiological models within the layers of my coaching practice. These include: 

  • Person centred coaching,
  • Psychodynamic coaching,
  • Polyvagal theory. 

In practical terms, that means I see you (and empower you to see yourself) as a whole, truly capable and empowered individual within the broader context of your life and experiences. Through our sessions we'll recognise the role that unconscious processes and programming might be playing in your relationship to the world, and we'll work with your body and nervous system to understand your needs and potential challenges on a deeper level. It's a truly holistic approach which is trauma informed.

Life coaching offers a safe space where you can reconnect with yourself, explore, play with ideas and identities, examine your needs and wants and lean into the possibilities of life...free from judgement and consequence. I'm with you every step of the way, helping you move forward in life, whatever that means for you. 

Some of the things I can support you with, include: 

Self connection | confidence | clarity | direction | wellbeing | ‘stuckness’ | life transitions | people pleasing | self-care | holistic tools | coping skills | resilience | stress management | self compassion | negative self talk | identifying your needs | self trust | reducing anxiety | understanding difficult emotions | empowerment | lasting change | body-mind connection | self development | work related stress | peer relationships | motivation | hobbies | mentoring | happiness | work-life balance | energy | lifestyle | among others…

Why choose to work with me?  

Together, we'll use a unique blend of conversation, trauma informed coaching, deep listening, mindset and emotional work, journalling, energetic and body based practices to bring you back into connection and conversation with yourself. We’ll dive deep into your self understanding, reshape your inner dialogue and loving dismantle your blocks, so that you can release the "shoulds" that have been running the show, reclaim the driving seat in your life, make choices aligned with your needs and desires and become the thriving self you've worked so hard to be.

Sounds like a lot, right? It kind of is. This work is beautiful and powerful, but it is work. What you get from life coaching depends on where you're starting from, what your intentions are for our time together, and how you meet the unfolding experience, but some things you could expect are: 

  • A renewed sense of connection to the person you are right now and clarity around what you actually need and want in this phase of your life,
  • The ability and confidence to start meeting those needs and making things happen so you can start living the life you really want to instead of just thinking about it.
  • A relationship with yourself that's built on understanding, compassion and support so the voice in your head feels like a friend, instead of the enemy.
  • A deeper understanding of your body/mind connection and how you can use this to make more aligned decisions and take supportive, empowered action. 
  • A more regulated nervous system and an increased window of tolerance, which means a greater sense of internal safety because you finally BELIEVE that you've got your own back.
  • A tool kit of resources and strategies that fit and genuinely support you, so when you're faced with challenges you know and trust that you can meet them. 
  • That feeling of a big exhale when you realise, you don't have to figure it all out on your own, you're not and never were failing, and change is possible.
  • The fist pumping liberation of recognising that YOU are the highest authority in your own life and you get to do it (yes all of it) YOUR WAY! 

If you’re done with how you’re feeling right now.
If you’re ready to change things up.
If it’s time to put yourself back at the heart of your life again.

Further information

Kind words from my clients: 

"Amy is one of the most gentle and non-judgemental people I’ve ever met. She created a safe, calm space where I felt truly supported. Her encouragement was steady and kind — like having a personal cheerleader who genuinely believes in you.

I loved that she let me go at my own pace and never rushed the process. She also gave me practical tools that actually helped in real life. If you’re looking for someone patient, insightful, and truly supportive, I can’t recommend Amy enough."   -Chloe-

"I sought life coaching this year after turning 40. I was feeling the need to be more intentional in how I approach life. Rather than just going through the motions, I wanted to discover how to get my energy back, how to find more joy in the day to day and how to raise my two children in an increasingly complicated world.

Amy supported me at every step of the way, always asking the right questions, giving me micro tools to try that were easy to implement in my busy life and adjusting each session according to what was going on at that time. She was available for me to email or voice note in between sessions and was happy to be adaptable when I went through an unexpected crisis at work.

I left each session feeling energised, with more clarity and most importantly the ability to gain perspective and direction on things. I felt a huge shift in some areas of my life that had been holding me back, and I have continued to use the tools Amy has given me in my daily life. I am so thankful for Amy’s support this year and will for sure be returning for her wisdom, intuition and coaching at other stages of life. She strikes the right balance of empathy and compassion with practicality and action. Thank you Amy!"   -Laura-

"Working with Amy has quite honestly been life changing. I questioned whether ‘working’ was the most appropriate descriptor, but yes, this stuff really can be hard work. It requires effort, it’s emotional, and exhausting at times, but it’s so liberating and freeing in ways I didn’t even think possible. Amy has a rare talent that words will struggle to describe. It’s like there’s a magic lens that looks straight into your soul, which empowers her to bury far beneath the rubbish we convince ourselves to be truth and get to the root of any issue; in essence, the root of you. She has guided and supported me through a journey of discovery and acceptance and helped shift a huge weight that I was carrying, unaware. I’ve never felt more aligned with my true self and heart."   - Jenny - 

"Amy's contribution and perspective is invaluable, especially in a setting like mine where things can become very focused on taking action and making things happen. Prompting people to step back, reflect and give themselves permission to do things in a way that works for them is something Amy does so well!"
- Alice Benham -

"Honestly you've been such a huge help recently...you're a true healer"
