Emotional wellbeing & mental fitness coach

About me

Hi I’m Emily, an emotional wellbeing and mental fitness coach. For those feeling overwhelmed or lost, I help you make sense of what’s going on beneath the surface, and work with you to move forward to where you want to be.

Many of my clients come to me when they feel stuck, lost, or caught in patterns like people-pleasing, overthinking, or constant self-doubt. Lots are navigating parenthood, have just been through a breakup or have lost their confidence at work.

They often know something isn’t right, but aren’t sure how to change it - or even what they really want.

Together, we slow things down and create space to properly understand what’s going on. From there I help you to reconnect to what truly matters, and make clear, practical shifts that restore joy and clarity.

How I work

My approach is calm, supportive, and grounded. I combine practical science-based tools with deeper emotional work, so you’re not just talking things through - you’re actually changing the patterns underneath.

This means the changes you make don’t just feel good in the moment - they last.

I offer:

  • One-to-one coaching (online)
  • Group coaching and courses
  • Positive Intelligence (PQ) program for long-term mental fitness

Every session is confidential, compassionate, and tailored to you.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of yourself, I offer a friendly, supportive space to help you find clarity, rebuild confidence, and move forward in a way that feels right.

Training, qualifications & experience

I’ve been working as a coach since 2022, supporting clients to increase happiness, purpose, and emotional balance.

  • Certified Life Coach
  • Certified Positive Intelligence Coach
  • Journey Practitioner
  • Theta Healer

Before becoming a coach, I owned and ran two Montessori nursery schools for 14 years, working closely with families to nurture children’s emotional and developmental well-being. That experience gives me a deep understanding of the pressures of modern family life and the compassion to guide parents through it.

My coaching draws on neuroscience, mindfulness, and intuitive healing to create meaningful, lasting change.

Testimonials

“Before seeing Emily I felt cross and resentful about my life and towards my family. I had tried lots of healing, but was waking up the same person.

Emily gave me tools and actions to improve my life. I am more positive, carefree, untriggered, more loving and available for my children. And I am appreciating so much. Thank you, Emily, from the bottom of my heart. You gave me the life I wanted and couldn’t see I had all along! And now I have tools to keep me going and working on it all.”
Natalie, Teacher

"Emily is a fantastic life coach, she has helped me massively and I even saw improvement after the first free hour consultation call. She genuinely cares about my wellbeing and checks in on me throughout the week. I have learnt so many things to manage my anxiety and stress and find life much easier right now. My main goal was to understand what it is that I want and why my thoughts and feelings were always contradicting, which I can safely say right now I am feeling really clear in my goals and intentions. The Positive Intelligence course is really insightful, we went through it together week by week, and Emily passes no judgement on how that week went. I would recommend Emily to anyone dealing with anxiety, stress or just general confusion about what it is they want in life, and what is important to them." 
Danny, Designer

"After a challenging period of many years in multiple parts of my life, I found the mechanisms I used to navigate life to this point no longer worked. I was suffering anxiety and knocking on the door of depression. While I had a lot of professional and personal success, I had no idea why I had made the choices I had, how I had got to this place, and where I was going next.

Emily has a structured but flexible and reactive approach. She is deeply intuitive and empathetic. This allows her to provide guidance that allows the person to deal with their own inner world in a way no therapist could for me. This work has led to a happier me, better relationships, better physical health and a reinvigorated approach to my career. I owe her so much and will be forever grateful."
Tim,  Managing Director, Investment Bank

"The Positive Intelligence course has been a revelation and a brilliant way to reverse decades of negative habitual thinking. I found myself feeling less anxious and overwhelmed, more positive and empowered and less critical of myself and others. 

None of this would be possible without Emily’s thoughtful and expert guidance. I would recommend it to anyone who feels that their habitual thought patterns are holding them back from living their fullest and most authentic life as a highly practical and positive program. I loved it!"
Catrin, Development Manager

"Working with Emily has been life-changing. Through her gentle, sensitive and clever guidance, her sessions have helped me to unearth the layers that have been causing obstructions in my life. I can honestly say that my relationships have tangibly improved and that I feel more organised, which has led to greater self-confidence. It also feels like a gift that keeps on giving, as I have become much more cognisant of other issues that are subtly holding me back and am better able to deal with them myself."
