About me

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed or uncertain about what comes next?

I’m Hannah Williams, founder of Being & Beyond, and I’ve supported more than 550 clients through significant personal and professional change.

I combine coaching, counselling-informed practice, consultancy and mentoring to help you navigate change with clarity, calm, challenge and support. My approach brings together the emotional side of change with practical guidance and action (Being & Beyond), so you can understand what’s really going on, make clear decisions and actually move forward.

Perhaps something in your life or work no longer feels right. You may be experiencing personal uncertainty, struggling with confidence or overwhelm, navigating a career change or relationship challenge, growing a business, or simply know that something needs to change but aren’t sure what to do next.

I particularly enjoy working with thoughtful, motivated people who are ready to understand themselves more deeply and make positive changes in their lives or work.

Clients often come to me looking for guidance, calm, support and a clearer sense of direction. They want someone who will genuinely listen and understand them, but who will also challenge them, provide perspective and help them turn insight into action.

I can help with:

- Confidence and self-belief
- Personal uncertainty and feeling stuck
- Stress and overwhelm
- Burnout and work-life balance
- Career change and direction
- Relationship challenges
- Personal development
- Goal setting and motivation
- Life transitions
- Business and entrepreneurial challenges
- Decision-making and creating meaningful change

What clients can expect
Our sessions are private, relaxed and tailored to what you need.

We might explore what’s happening emotionally, challenge unhelpful patterns or beliefs, work through a difficult decision, develop practical strategies or create a clear plan for what happens next.

There is no expectation that you’ll arrive knowing exactly what you need. We can work that out together.

My aim isn’t simply to help you cope with where you are now. It’s to help you understand where you want to go, what’s getting in the way and how to move towards it in a way that feels sustainable.

My clients have gone on to make significant changes in their relationships, careers, businesses, confidence, wellbeing and overall sense of fulfilment.

“Working with Hannah transformed my life. She helped me see my own strengths and gave me the tools to pursue my goals and get fantastic results with confidence.”

If you’re at a point where something needs to change, I’d be happy to have a conversation and see whether I could be the right person to help. Let's get started!

For business owners and professionals
I also work with business owners and professionals who want support with the human side of work and growth as well as strategy and implementation.

This might include confidence, delegation, stress, time management, work-life balance, decision-making, leadership, sustainable growth or navigating periods of significant change.

My consultancy combines practical business thinking with an understanding of the person behind the business, helping you make better decisions, turn ideas into action and build a way of working that is both effective and sustainable.

Many clients choose to continue working with me beyond the initial programme as their goals evolve and deepen.

I also offer bespoke coaching packages where a different level of commitment is more appropriate for your circumstances and goals. We can discuss the best approach during your introductory call.

Free introductory call

A short, relaxed conversation where you can tell me what’s happening, what you’d like to change and what you’re looking for.

There is no pressure to commit. It’s simply an opportunity for us to see whether working together feels like the right fit.

If you’re unsure about the investment, please feel free to mention this when you get in touch. I can talk you through the options available and we can find an approach that makes sense for you and the work you want to do.

Further information

Coaching

Coaching is practical, forward-focused support for people who want to understand where they are, decide where they want to go and make meaningful progress.

We can work on confidence, decision-making, career and life direction, relationships, wellbeing, goals, work-life balance or periods of significant change.

My approach combines warmth and support with honest challenge and practical action. You don’t need to arrive with everything figured out — we can work that out together.

Counselling-informed support

Sometimes moving forward requires more than simply making a plan. There may be emotions, experiences or patterns that need space to be understood first.

My counselling-informed approach allows us to explore these deeper layers alongside practical coaching, while keeping the work focused on helping you move forward.

Business consultancy

For business owners and professionals, I also offer consultancy alongside coaching.

This can include decision-making, delegation, leadership, time management, sustainable growth, work-life balance and navigating the human challenges that come with running or developing a business.

The focus is on both the person and the business, helping you make better decisions and turn ideas into sustainable action.

Mentoring

Mentoring draws on my experience across coaching, business, personal development and professional growth.

Where useful, I can share knowledge, perspective, frameworks and practical experience rather than simply helping you find the answers yourself.

How we work

These approaches don’t always need to be kept separate. Your needs may change as we work together, and our sessions can evolve accordingly.

The aim is always the same: to help you feel understood, gain clarity, make confident decisions and create meaningful, sustainable change.

Testimonials

“Hannah has helped me remember my self-worth and regain my confidence both personally and professionally. I’ve had two promotions at work and my personal life has improved tenfold! I think more clearly, make more decisions for myself and my future — I now see opportunities and go for them!”

“I was unhappy in my job and struggling to secure a new role, leaving me feeling stuck and unconfident. Through working with Hannah, I became clearer on my strengths, more confident in interviews and more in control of my career direction. During our sessions, I secured a new job and Hannah continued to support me as I transitioned into it.”

“Working with Hannah has been life changing. She has helped me define clear goals and actionable steps, while striking the perfect balance between accountability and compassion. I always leave our sessions feeling more focused, motivated and on track.”

“Coaching with Hannah has helped me take ownership of my life and trust the process. I feel more settled and hopeful than I have in years. My mindset has shifted to growth, I’m communicating calmly, and I finally feel in control of myself and my choices.”

“I feel a lot more confident to pursue a life I want rather than settle for the life I had. I feel like everything and anything is achievable. Hannah was the energy and guidance I needed at the right time, and I barely recognise the person I was before our sessions.”
