Emily Walker

I am a wellbeing and resilience coach helping people find balance in life, their purpose, and the capacity to withstand the ups and downs of our ever changing world. My work has evolved over the last 15 years in the Well-being industry working internationally with a variety of individuals, groups and organisations in the private and corporate sector.
 
I am passionate about working with people who are looking for a change in who they are or how they work and are keen to challenge themselves to grow. I use my coaching skills and a broad range of research-based methods to explore the inner relationship with self, and how we relate to the internal and external systems we inhabit. 
 
I also aim to uncover natural intuitive knowledge that is innate in all of us and explore what our emotions and body can teach us about how we can meet this ever-changing world. I draw on a range of tools and techniques from NLP, TA, Neuroscience and Mindfulness to meet the client where they are in their world to support, challenge and provoke exploration and growth.
 
My knowledge of human development and ways of being is also informed by my own personal development and the challenges I have had to face. As a result, I am passionate about helping others to find their own resilience through self-compassion, somatic practice, self-awareness, and personal development. I believe the most effective path to a good and fulfilling life and effective working practice is through self-knowledge.

The first session is complementary - this allows both the client and myself to gauge whether this is the right course of action for the client and to get some background to their situation.

"I enjoyed our sessions (albeit that they forced me to confront some things about myself which weren't always comfortable to describe) and they were incredibly valuable during a very difficult time. I'm in a different place now - far happier and fulfilled professionally, I've excised the ghosts of my former employer and mentally I'm in a much stronger place. I've definitely changed as an individual though. I like to think that I'm more empathetic towards others who might be suffering, I'm much more aware of my own mental strength, and I'm actually far better able to step outside and rationalise why I might be thinking or feeling a certain way, and therefore able to cope with it.
I've also become an unashamed and public proponent of talking out problems - the current publicity campaign around encouraging men to talk about their problems rings true - I genuinely feel that confronting my problems and talking them out saved me from doing something more final at that time, so thank you."

"I recommend Emily as a coach without reservation – it is her ability to work on both practical matters and on the underlying issues that keep us from expressing ourselves fully in the world.”   E. Boddy Yoga Teacher

"...I would recommend Emily to anyone who is suffering from stress or anxiety in any aspect of life and would like to thank her for helping me confront the ghosts of the mind.” Alice Wyatt Second year Uni student

wellbeing, resilience, to relieve anxiety, self-development, mindfulness, to de-stress, learn meditation, understand self and others.

At present I offer a complementary first session which last up to half an hour to allow us to check in and explore what you would like from coaching and if I am the right coach for you.

After this, if we are both happy to continue, coaching sessions cost upward of £130 per hr on a sliding scale depending on location and economic status. There are discounts for multiple bookings.

The number of sessions is very much dependent on the client and what is needed. Sometimes only five or six sessions are necessary and sometimes more are needed.

I am available for daytime and evening appointments.

Testimonials

"I spent almost 2 months with Emily on life coaching, these were 2 very well spent months of my life. Emily was very supportive and a great life coach!"

"I found that Emily has a great intuition and is able to get to the root of my life challenges. I am the type of person that spends a significant part of my life analysing why I have created certain experiences in my life and what the learning is for me. Emily really helped me to see the blind spots I never even imagined of in my own analysis of these life challenges."

"I appreciated how Emily was a great listener and she showed a deep understanding and respect of my opinions and all that I shared with her in my sessions."

"Through my sessions with Emily, I was able to move onto new amazing opportunities in my career, relationships and travel. It gave me the confidence and wisdom within myself to move on. That is the most valuable part I found of the sessions with Emily, she did not psycho analyse me or tell me what do, but she empowered me within myself (through giving me clarity within myself). This is a rare and valuable gift, self-empowerment!

Emily is great at what she does and not only that she is a very warm, kind and understanding person."

"She has a big heart and I would recommend her hands down to anyone who is need of some support/guidance in any area of your life!"

"Thanks Emily, you touched my life and I will forever be grateful to you."
