About me

I am a certified Transformational & Integrative Resilience Coach and my work involves helping my clients build personal resilience so that they can get out of cycles of anxiety, burnout, procrastination, overwhelm, low confidence and self sabotage.

We work towards getting you unstuck through building emotional and mental resilience so that you can navigate the tough moments in life, business and career. Key to this is releasing limiting subconscious beliefs, regulating your nervous system and interrupting thought patterns that keep you trapped on the hamster wheel to nowhere. 

I have supported my clients in achieving many breakthroughs that have lead to getting promotions, starting new businesses, publishing books, making big career changes and improving their relationships.    

How will I be able to help you?

I have spent 20 years working with change and personal transformation and deeply know the core elements that result in successful transformation. I also understand that if we don't change our subconscious beliefs and resulting behaviours our future will arrive looking just like our past.

My approach is integrative and based on my training in psychology and coaching as well as my my vast change management and business experience. I will use tools and techniques from many approaches such a Cognitive Behavioural Coaching, Somatic Coaching, Transactional Analysis, PSYCH-K, NLP, Silent Counselling, Reiki or Energy Psychology just to name a few to support your change journey.

After completing my postgraduate degree in psychology I ventured into business and worked in business and change management consulting. I have spent over 10 years working closely with business leaders, teams and individuals to navigate tough periods of change. I have managed large scale project teams with large budgets and tight timescales across many industries and sectors. My areas of specialisation was in Business Strategy, Performance Management, Organisational Culture and Values, Leadership Development, large scale recruitment campaigns and Business Process design.

Although this was rewarding I was still drawn to the mental health and personal development arena where I knew I could contribute to people creating profound personal transformation in their own lives. I have worked in a supported housing capacity with clients between 16 - 30 years of age who have been in mental health care facilities and wish to continue their care supported within the community.

I have worked with a range of mental health disorders including Schizophrenia, Bipolar, Border Personality Disorder, Depression, Anorexia Nervosa as well as those with a history of drug and alcohol abuse. I have also worked with clients on the Autistic spectrum and  diagnosed Aspergers.

During our sessions, we will work together to:

  • Find clarity in the now, acknowledge but release the past and set up for the future
  • Locate and work towards letting go of beliefs that no longer serve you in your life
  • Map out a plan, steps and thinking which is going to help you get onto the right path
  • Identify and embed your own practices which will keep you positive, aligned to your goal and in the right mindset to achieve.

Confidentiality is important to me and is at the very heart of my coaching so it creates a truly open space for collaboration.

I look forward to embarking on a journey of transformation with you so please contact me for an exploratory chat.

Words from my clients:

CD London: Lindsay supports me along my journey of living a wholehearted life both at home and professionally. She’s an incredible coach, who creates a warm-hearted and safe space for me to explore. She also listens deeply and explores with me in the direction that my life unfolds. I could feel a strong sense of mindful presence during our sessions, and I’m always able to have aha moments that intrigue me. During many of our sessions, I was able to gain such clarity that many doors opened. I think Lindsay has a natural gift of sensing what may lie underneath my stories, and she brings that up in sometimes direct and challenging note. Yet she’s always supportive and I feel the compassion she has towards me, which is a beautiful example in the coaching profession. As a coach myself, I could recommend Lindsay without reservation, and I trust that she’ll use her unique gifts to help more people!

Claire G: "Lindsay is a reassuring presence in the coaching room.  Her corporate background adds considerable depth to what is clearly her gift; listening and finding creative and intuitive solutions to people when they are stuck.  I have arrived at Lindsay's coaching room in pieces before now and she has gently managed the situation and got me to a point where, by the time I left the session, I believed in myself again and felt like I could go on.  She challenges, gently.  She listens, intently and she offers not solutions, but ways of thinking; enabling her clients to see things from such a different perspective.  The conversation flows naturally and things that I thought I could hide or that wouldn't be seen in the room were laid out bare and Lindsay helped me to delicately work through them.  I recommend Lindsay to all my friends who are struggling with anything.  It doesn't matter what it is; Lindsay applies her methodology and intuition and changes lives".

Alison C: "Lindsay’s coaching skills are awesome. She helped me realise my own desires and how to get there stepping through my fears. I felt Lindsay was really tuned into me and I would have no hesitation in recommending her".

LL London: "I really enjoyed the coaching journey with Lindsay and feel like I definitely grew from the experience. I initially thought that I had a clear idea of what I wanted to work on with Lindsay, however such is the mysterious nature of coaching that we actually worked on other latent challenges that were holding me back before we even approached the intended goal. Through my coaching experience with Lindsay, I was able to identify some self-restrictive issues and stumbling blocks, and work through them in the safe supportive space that Lindsay provided. In turn I was able to break through the barriers that had been holding me back and finally get started on my project. Although I only had six sessions with Lindsay, we went very deep and this allowed me to gain with a much more holistic idea of my direction in life .
