Shelley Venters

Hi, I'm Shelley

I help women, ADHD & neurospicy humans, and the LGBTQ+ community stop shrinking themselves and start showing up as who they really are!

Through coaching, I help people find their voice, build confidence, trust themselves and recognise and believe in their own value. We’ll explore who you are, what you actually want, and what might be getting in the way of you living life on your own terms.

A big part of my work is challenging the societal norms and expectations we’re taught about how we’re supposed to live, behave and show up, particularly when it comes to gender, relationships, work and the expectations placed on people.

My approach is influenced by feminism, social justice and inclusivity, and I believe you shouldn’t have to conform to someone else’s idea of what your life should look like. Everyone deserves to be happy and I help you find what that looks like for you and start living life your way.

How I got into Coaching:

In recent years I have been down my own path of ADHD discovery, which makes sense because I’ve had one career after another - I’ve been a car mechanic, serviced equipment for the offshore Oil & Gas industry, planned maintenance of boats with oil rigs on them, did a college makeup course in my spare evenings, been a fashion retail manager, most recently a Nail Artist with my own studio and now a certified Master Coach. Turns out, I like change, newness and challenging myself and expectations!  I used to feel like I had failed when I didn’t stick anything out longer than 4 years, but I now see it as working with how my brain is wired.

I’m finding joy in novelty things like Lego and dopamine décor and dressing because it makes me feel good and I’ve noticed how many other people’s day it brightens when you wear something fun or they come into a home that's full of colour and silly objects!

I’m still actively building a life that looks more ‘me’ and I’m learning every day. I’m here to whole-heartedly support you to do the same and help you discover what an authentic life looks like for you.  Sessions are always deeply confidential and I respect the ethics I'm bound by as a coach. And whilst I'm here to help you improve yourself and your life positively, I can also fully relate to when life is just hard sometimes and hold space for that supportively when needed. 

What are the next steps?

1. Book your discovery call: click the 'Discovery Call' or 'Email' button at the top of my profile.
2. We’ll get to know each other: during a 20-30 minute call we’ll explore what brought you to coaching, what you’d like to achieve from it and chat through how it all works.
3. Start coaching with me! If we’re a great fit for each other we can book in our first session and get prepared for our work together.

Sessions are £60 for 50 minute sessions
