Charlotte Howard

I’m Charlotte, a neurodivergent, trauma-informed Life, Career Coach, mentor and founder of EmpoweringSelf Coaching.

I support thoughtful, capable and self-aware individuals who may feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected or misaligned in their lives, careers or relationships. My coaching helps people develop greater self-understanding, build confidence, navigate change and make intentional choices that reflect who they are and what matters to them.

My approach is calm, collaborative and client-led. Through reflective coaching, practical tools and compassionate challenge, I help clients reconnect with their own strengths, values and inner authority. Coaching with me isn’t about being “fixed” or being told what to do. It’s about creating space to understand yourself more deeply, recognise unhelpful patterns and move forward in a way that feels meaningful and sustainable.

As a neurodivergent coach, I value the importance of understanding how neurodivergence, identity and lived experience can shape confidence, communication, relationships and self-trust. I welcome people from a range of backgrounds and experiences, including neurodivergent and ethnic minority individuals and professionals. My practice is inclusive, reflective and grounded in creating a space where clients feel heard and supported without judgement.

Alongside my coaching practice, I bring professional experience in higher education administration, safeguarding and organisational support. This informs my structured, thoughtful approach to personal and professional development, career transitions and leadership challenges.

I’m an EMCC UK Affiliate Member, and my work is guided by recognised ethical frameworks, reflective practice and ongoing professional development.

Whether you’re navigating a life transition, exploring your career direction, rebuilding confidence or seeking a better understanding of yourself, EmpoweringSelf Coaching offers a supportive space to gain clarity, strengthen self-trust and take your next steps at your own pace.

Coaching fees range from £55 for individual sessions to £600 for longer-term coaching packages.

Options are designed to offer flexible, reflective support depending on the level of ongoing coaching you are looking for.

Coaching sessions are currently available on Mondays, Tuesday afternoons and evenings and Wednesday to Friday after 5pm. Limited weekend availability may also be offered, with weekend sessions subject to a slightly adjusted fee.

Alongside my professional training and coaching experience, I also bring lived experience of neurodivergence, personal growth and navigating change. This informs the calm, reflective and compassionate way I work with clients.
