Sohaila Sophia

Feeling stuck, lacking confidence or wondering what needs to change?

Perhaps you're feeling overwhelmed, questioning your direction or struggling to make a decision. Maybe you're doubting yourself, putting too much pressure on yourself or noticing the same patterns showing up in different areas of your life.

Or perhaps nothing is particularly wrong. You simply feel ready for something different, whether that's greater confidence, a more fulfilling career, stronger relationships or a better understanding of yourself.

Whatever brings you to coaching, you don't need to have everything figured out before we begin.

Hello, I'm Sohaila!

I'm an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), supporting people through challenges, changes and opportunities in their personal and professional lives.

One of the things I love most about coaching is helping people understand themselves on a deeper level. Not just exploring what they want to change, but becoming curious about the thoughts, beliefs and behaviours that might be influencing how they feel, the choices they make and the way they respond to situations.

Often, it's this greater self-awareness that opens up possibilities we hadn't previously considered.

My approach combines professional coaching with my training in psychological approaches and human behaviour. I offer a supportive, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly, explore different perspectives and make sense of whatever is going on for you.

What can we work on together?

People come to coaching for all sorts of reasons. Some have a clear goal they're working towards, while others simply know that something isn't quite right.

Some of the areas I support clients with include:

• Confidence, self-esteem and imposter syndrome - exploring self-doubt, recognising your strengths and developing greater confidence in yourself and your abilities.
• Career and professional development - navigating career changes, workplace challenges, leadership, progression or uncertainty about your next steps.
• Stress, overwhelm and work-life balance - understanding what's contributing to the pressure you're experiencing and exploring changes that could make life feel more manageable.
• Relationships and boundaries - understanding relationship patterns, improving communication, expressing your needs and navigating difficulties with others.
• Personal development and life changes - exploring what matters to you, navigating transitions and making choices that feel more aligned with the life you want.
• Overthinking and unhelpful patterns - recognising thoughts, beliefs or behaviours that might be keeping you stuck and exploring different ways forward.

These are just examples. Coaching is personal, and our conversations will always be shaped by what matters to you.

What's it like to work with me?

My coaching style is warm, supportive and conversational, but I'll also challenge you when I think it could help.

I'm not here to tell you how to live your life or assume I know what's best for you. Instead, we'll work together to explore your experiences, question assumptions, consider different perspectives and help you develop your own understanding of what you'd like to do differently.

Sometimes our conversations will involve deeper reflection and self-discovery. Other times they'll be practical, focusing on decisions, goals and next steps.

There's no rigid formula or expectation that everyone needs the same kind of support.

And although coaching can be incredibly rewarding, it isn't always about having comfortable conversations. Sometimes the most useful insights come from looking at things we might usually avoid or haven't previously considered.

Who do I work with?

I offer coaching to individuals, couples and businesses, both online and in person.

Personal coaching: Supporting people with confidence, self-worth, relationships, life changes, emotional wellbeing and personal development.

Couples coaching: Providing a supportive space for couples to explore their relationship, understand one another better, improve communication and work through challenges together.

Career and executive coaching: Supporting professionals, business owners and leaders with confidence, career direction, leadership, workplace challenges and professional growth.

Business and organisational coaching: Working with businesses and organisations through individual coaching, group coaching and workshops, supporting the development, performance and wellbeing of their people.

Although these areas may appear different, our personal and professional lives are often closely connected. The way we think, feel, communicate and respond to challenges doesn't necessarily change when we move from one part of our lives to another.

My coaching recognises this connection and creates space to explore the whole person.

Let's have a conversation

Finding the right coach is important, and I appreciate that reaching out can sometimes feel like a big step.

That's why I offer a free, no-obligation 30-minute discovery call. It's an opportunity to tell me a little about what you're looking for, ask any questions and get a feel for whether we'd work well together.

There's no pressure to commit to anything.

If something you've read here resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you.

Coaching Options & Fees

I offer a range of coaching options depending on what you're looking for, whether you'd like to explore a particular challenge or benefit from more consistent support as you make changes in your life.

Free 30-Minute Discovery Call

An informal, no-obligation conversation to discuss what you're looking for, ask any questions and see whether we'd be a good fit.

Individual Coaching – £149 (60 minutes)

A one-off session to explore a particular challenge, decision or area of your personal or professional life. You can book sessions as and when you need them, without committing to a package.

Extended Coaching Session – £200 (90 minutes)

For those who would benefit from a little more time to explore a situation, work through a challenge or gain greater clarity.

Six-Session Coaching Package – £825

Six 60-minute sessions for those who would like to work together more consistently, with the flexibility to focus on different challenges, goals and areas of development as they arise.

Ongoing 1:1 Coaching Partnership – £385 per month

For clients who would benefit from a more personalised, ongoing level of support.

This includes:

• Two 60-75 minute coaching sessions each month.
• Ongoing WhatsApp support between sessions, including messages and voice notes.
• Accountability check-ins, reflection and support with challenges as they arise.
• Personalised tools, resources and recommendations where helpful.
• Space to share progress, celebrate wins and work through obstacles along the way.

One of the biggest benefits of ongoing coaching is that our work doesn't have to stop when a session ends. Life continues between appointments, and sometimes that's when the most important things come up.

Through our WhatsApp conversations, we can explore challenges, decisions and breakthroughs as they're happening, rather than waiting until our next session.

It also means that when we do meet, we don't need to spend as much time catching up on everything that's happened since we last spoke. Instead, we can make the most of our time together, focusing on deeper coaching, meaningful insights and the things you really want to work through.

It's a more connected, personalised way of working together, with support that fits around real life rather than being limited to scheduled appointments.

There's no minimum commitment, so you can continue on a month-by-month basis.

A six-month partnership is also available for £1,995 when paid upfront.

DISC Personality Profiling – £145

Includes a personalised DISC profile and a 30-minute debrief, helping you better understand your behavioural preferences, communication style and how you relate to others.

Couples Coaching

I also work with couples who want to improve communication, understand one another better and navigate challenges in their relationship. Please get in touch to discuss coaching options and fees.

Business, Executive & Organisational Coaching

I offer coaching for professionals, business owners, leaders and organisations, alongside group coaching and workshops. Fees are tailored to the requirements of each engagement.

Not sure where to start?

You're very welcome to book a free 30-minute discovery call. We can talk about what you're looking for and explore which option might suit you best, with no pressure to commit.

Sessions are primarily held online via Zoom, with face-to-face coaching in Portsmouth available by arrangement. I generally work weekdays, with some evening and occasional weekend appointments available on request.

Client Testimonials
