Yvonne Bakewell

I am a full-time Transformational Life Coach who loves her work.

I support, motivate and guide individuals, couples and families of all ages and backgrounds to live with more clarity, direction, confidence and joy. 

Every question, goal, worry, issue, challenge, event and emotion is welcome. 

Working together with me will be natural, motivating, effective and fun.

You will reach what you set out to achieve in our conversations, because your individual intent will fuel our mutual cooperation.

And this unique motivation will becomes a powerful catalyst that leads you to creating the changes and improvements you desire in your life.

In your conversations you will enjoy having uninterrupted time to truly be with and within yourself. 

You might even be relieved that the only things you need to do to get results are to freely think, speak and choose.

Whilst you experience a deep sense of calm, self, honesty and clarity, my skilled listening, observing and questioning will guide you to realistic fresh decisions and clear next steps. 

Together we can create:

• deep understanding of feelings, thoughts and actions
• clarity about perspectives, opportunities, choices and decisions
• increased confidence, accountability, efficiency and positivity
• managing depression, anxiety, fears, suicidal and self harming behaviour
• processing emotional blockages, traumas and obstacles
• improved mental and physical health
• increased personal, social and professional confidence, achievements and happiness
• feeling at home within yourself so to feel at home everywhere

I really look forward to coaching with you,

Yvo 

I am one of the 100s of different coaches available to you.

These 100s of coaches have different titles, such as:

Executive Coaches, Career Coaches, Education Coaches, Relationship Coaches, Positivity Coaches, Trauma Coaches, Neurodivergent Coaches, Weight Loss Coaches, Wellbeing Coaches, Nature Coach, Spiritual Coach - and many more.

Each title indicates a certain specialism or expertise, like mine: Life Coach.

I fell in love with Life Coaching because it is uniquely wholesome: it embraces other coaching titles and covers the total of Life's topics.

This is why during our coaching conversations, you can choose to improve one, some or all areas that shape your life, such as:

• work and career
• personal, social and spiritual development 
• growing up and growing older 
• wealth and finances
• sex and intimacy
• relationships and communication
• physical and mental health and wellbeing
• isolation and loneliness
• education and study
• behaviours and emotions
• mindsets and paradigms

All areas in Life are interconnected.

Which is why life coaching works for all questions, challenges, dreams, topics, events, emotions and ...  people :)

My fees reflect how I value my professional skills, experience, authenticity, ability, training, results and continued professional development.

My clients buy my support and guidance because they simultaneously buy outcomes and growth.

They experience their conversations as welcoming, safe and simple and appreciate not feeling rushed: with 60 to 90 minutes for each conversation, they enjoy ample time to focus on their thoughts, feelings, wishes and goals.

My clients also appreciate their choice in services and decide whether to coach face to face, over the telephone, online or to enjoy a 'pick & mix' of these.

They respect that I do not tell them what to do, not in their conversations, nor with regards to their decisions about our cooperation:
depending on their budgets, time, personal, social and professional commitments, they not I, decide whether we meet for one single conversation or more often at weekly, monthly or irregular intervals.

My services and fees - your choices 
NB: Because I support individuals, couples and families, please read 'you' as singular and plural.

You can contact me for a Free Discovery Call and/or an appointment at any time during the day, by calling, messaging or emailing me.

I am also an excellent, caring professional who understands and knows the challenges of living life.

• Loneliness
• Depression
• Parenting issues, worries and stresses
• Mental health challenges, especially anxiety and panic attacks
• Menopause related struggles

• Imposter (Saboteur) syndrome

Since my late 40s, I find I am living life most fully, freely and consciously. 

And I cherish my wealth in experiences with people, events, knowledge, emotions, challenges, achievements and professions. 

For each of us life is an unequaled unique journey of ups and downs.
But with the right support, mindset and personal input, it is possible to live each day to the full.

A summary of my work:

My from the heart & with a heart-Life Coaching works for everyone.
And it will work for you.

It combines extremely well with other health and wellbeing services, such as therapy and counselling.

My clients often say that working with me achieves outcomes faster than other support services they have tried, because it is enjoyable, pro-active, highly motivating and it has a focus on their present and future time, not on their past.

Time is precious:

Before we make big decisions or change something, most of us feel doubt and fear.

This is normal.
We are human.
We all experience this.

Sometimes we then hesitate, ignore, argue, question or become defensive.

Yet, most often we simply .... wait.

If you are waiting, remember that time is precious and that each day is an opportunity to create improvements and changes.

If you are procrastinating, know that I am ready to help you move forwards.

If it feels daunting to act to achieve change on your own, simply connect with me to talk together and to very soon feel better.
