Emma Craythorne

About me

My name is Emma and I qualified as a life coach in 2022. I started with a keen interest in mindset and wellbeing and this has evolved over the last couple of years to be confidence coaching for women but more specifically mums in their first year of motherhood.

My career background is as a qualified management accountant, working in the Insurance, Health and Veterinary industries over a period of 16 years. During my accountancy career, I realised it wasn’t the accounts side of my role that I was passionate about, I much preferred looking after my colleagues wellbeing and finding out more about their life journey so far and where they were heading next.

I loved seeing my team members thrive and achieve and would support whatever route they were moving towards; some wanted a family, a couple were destined to travel, others to stay within accounting and a fair few to alternative career paths.

Reflecting on this aspect of my career path pushed me to qualify as a life coach and finally pursue a career I was wholly passionate about.

During 2023, I became a parent for the first time and with a background of high functioning anxiety was concerned how I would handle being responsible for a little person. It has turned out to be the best experience of my life to date, however I know this isn’t the case for every mum. I also know I have greatly leaned on my coaching experience and ever trusty toolkit to ensure I thrive in these early years and aren’t overwhelmed with anxiety.

Who are my clients?

My clients come from a variety of backgrounds. A lot have been setting up their own businesses and balancing this with the juggle of family life, others have been pursuing dreams to travel and move their life across the globe and a few have been entering a new chapter of their life due to a new family, redundancy, relationship break ups and relocations.

You can read their testimonials on my website here: https://thefemaleconfidencecoach.co.uk/home#client-testimonials

The common factor has always been change and the transformations coaching is able to bring to these situations and their life overall is outstanding.

My coaching clientele now is far more niche so are you:

• A new mum, sat at home wondering who you are, where the energy to go to the next baby meet is going to come from, when you will next get some “you time” and what you would do with it? Maybe you can feel your ambition calling to be listened to and want to head back to some form of work?
• Pregnant and wondering how to navigate newborn life, a relationship (if you’re in one) and still be you?
• Returning to work after a period of leave and wondering what else might be out there for you and how you will balance it all with family life thrown in the mix too?
• Happy with where you are but have realised you don’t know who you are, what your favourite colour or food is? You’re living every day on a cycle but can’t remember the last time you really enjoyed something, properly laughed or felt passionate towards a cause?

If you fit in to one of these categories, it is likely that coaching will hugely benefit you. It is absolutely possible for you to be you during these early stages of motherhood, we just need to find a little time so you can prioritise yourself. It is amazing how this space can take you back to parenting a little more patient, content and with a new energy to provide.

My mission

My mission is for you as a new mum to thrive during this first year. To care for your little one and to be able to prioritise and meet your needs too. You don’t need to wait until…. Until the finances are right, until you have time, until the children are older, until you’ve achieved x, y and z.

You can start in this moment here because you matter, life is short and I feel it is always better to live having explored the “what if” than be constantly wondering about it.

I want to guide you on this path to thriving in motherhood, to turn anxiety and uncertainty into a balanced and fulfilling period of time with your family. Whilst rediscovering this new version of you, I look forward to cheerleading you, holding you accountable and supporting you in taking every step towards embracing this time with your little one and being the best version of you.

Sessions

I offer a range of sessions, these are:

1 hour individual coaching

The first session is always free. I do this so that you can experience a coaching session, see first hand all that we can achieve within the hour and to check that you and I are compatible to work together. There is no obligation to continue after this session.

I offer sessions on a pay as you go basis, however it is proven that our brains take up to 90 days to build new neural pathways which means coaching is at its most effective over a 3 month period. For this reason, I offer a package of 6 sessions to be used within 4 months.

1.5 hour intense coaching

This session is perfect if you know that you only have 1, or possibly 2, topics to work through. Maybe this is what we discovered in your free session or you might be a returning client.

30 minute accountability session

These sessions are ideal for between our hourly sessions or on completion of a package of 6 sessions. The aim is for you to have an accountability partner that celebrates your wins, pushes you to your next steps and holds you to meet the goals you set yourself.

These are also ideal if you’re new to coaching but know exactly what you need to achieve and just want a regular check in to keep you on track.

I also offer these as a pack of 3 sessions.

Group sessions

I run a variety of sessions on a monthly basis. All of the group coaching details can be found on my website: https://thefemaleconfidencecoach.co.uk/home#group-coaching

My coaching business evolution from mindset and wellbeing to a new mums confidence coach came through becoming a parent and navigating redundancy at the same time.

I remember sitting on the sofa with my baby knowing I loved every moment with her but was also so ready for more. Ready to rediscover me, to meet my needs, to have some time for myself, to work out what my life passion is and to make steps towards those dreams in that exact moment.

Within a few short months, I made time for some “me time” on a regular basis, I realised that daily I needed to listen to and make space to meet my needs but the biggest step was that I had a plan to evolve my coaching business and step in to a career I was so passionate about. I felt more content in myself and had stepped out of a blame mindset into an “I can” mindset. I wasn’t the only one benefiting, my partner and daughter were also receiving a better version of me.

Maybe you’re in a similar situation right now, sat on the sofa with a child, wondering who you are, where your life dreams went and what you can do about it?

Maybe you’re being made redundant and aren’t sure where to turn next?

Maybe you’re pregnant and wondering how to navigate newborn life, a relationship (if you’re in one) and still be you?

Maybe you’re returning to work after a period of leave and wondering what else might be out there for you?

Maybe you’re happy with where you are but have realised you don’t know who you are, what your favourite colour or food is? You’re living every day on a cycle but can’t remember the last time you really enjoyed something, properly laughed or felt passionate towards a cause?

My mission is for all new mums to know that their needs, passion and dreams don’t need to wait until…. Until the finances are right, until you have time, until the children are older, until you’ve achieved x, y and z.

You can start right now because you matter, life is short and I feel it is always better to live having explored the “what if” than be constantly wondering about it.

I want to guide you on this path to rediscovering you, to cheerlead you, to hold you accountable and to support you in taking every step towards embracing your true self and achieving your life dreams today.

Are you ready to feel empowered and thrive in this first year?
