About us

Many people reach a point where their career or business no longer feels right. You might feel stuck, frustrated, or overwhelmed by too many choices. You may feel you should have it figured out by now. You may know you need a change, but cannot see the path clearly.

You are not alone. 

Aspired Coaching Ltd was founded by Nicky Dunn, whose 25 years of working with people in their personal and professional lives taught her that when people feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain, what they need most is clarity, confidence, and connection. Whether you’re at a crossroads in your career, feeling the weight of leadership, or seeking purpose in your business journey, Aspire offers more than just coaching; we offer space to pause, reflect, and grow.

We understand that behind every moment of doubt, whether it’s “I’m not sure what’s next,” “I feel like I’ve lost my spark,” or “I’m carrying too much on my own”, is a person ready to move forward. Our coaching helps shift emotional states, from self-doubt to self-belief, from overwhelm to focus, and from isolation to empowered action.

Our team of associate professional coaches brings warmth, strategy, and deep listening to every conversation. We meet you where you are, and walk beside you as you rediscover what’s possible, with clarity, courage and a renewed sense of direction.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Life Coach's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Life Coach to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
