Life Coaching in Nottingham

Transformative life coaching in Nottingham for clarity, confidence, and meaningful direction.

There are times in life when you reach a point where things feel uncertain, stuck, or in need of change.

Not because anything is “wrong”, but because something within you is ready to shift — your direction, your confidence, your goals, or the way you want to live and work moving forward.

Life coaching offers a supportive, forward-focused space to help you explore what comes next, reconnect with yourself, and create meaningful change with clarity and intention.

This is about understanding where you are now, exploring what you want, and taking practical, grounded steps towards a life and career that feels more aligned and fulfilling.

What coaching can support you with

Coaching may be helpful if you are:

  • Feeling stuck or unsure about your direction in life or work
  • At a crossroads and considering your next steps
  • Wanting more clarity about what you want (but not yet knowing the answer)
  • Thinking about a career change or progression
  • Lacking confidence in decisions or choices
  • Wanting to reconnect with your strengths and sense of identity
  • Seeking more fulfilment or purpose in your work or life
  • Struggling to move forward or take action
  • Wanting support to think things through clearly and calmly
  • Ready to create change but unsure where to start

Life coaching

Life coaching focuses on you as a whole person — your identity, values, confidence, relationships, habits, and overall direction in life.

It gives you space to pause and reflect so you can better understand yourself and what you want from this next chapter.

It can help you to:

  • Gain clarity about what matters most to you
  • Reconnect with your values and strengths
  • Build self-belief and confidence
  • Explore identity changes and personal growth
  • Make decisions with more clarity and trust
  • Move forward with intention and direction

Career coaching

Career coaching focuses specifically on your working life and professional direction.

Whether you are feeling uncertain, ready for change, or simply exploring your options, coaching helps you step back and see things more clearly.

It can help you to:

  • Explore career change or new opportunities
  • Gain clarity on your skills, strengths, and options
  • Understand what meaningful work looks like for you
  • Build confidence in your professional decisions
  • Navigate transitions or progression in your career
  • Create a more aligned and intentional working life

My approach as a Transformative Life Coach

My coaching style is calm, reflective, and forward-focused.

I am a trained Transformative Life Coach, having completed my training with Animas Centre for Coaching. This approach supports deep self-awareness alongside practical, meaningful action, helping you create change that feels both intentional and sustainable.

I combine reflective conversation with solution-focused coaching techniques to help you gain clarity, recognise your strengths, and move forward in a way that feels aligned with you.

This is not about pressure, quick fixes, or needing to have all the answers.

It is about creating space to think clearly, explore possibilities, and build confidence in your own decisions and direction.

Where helpful, coaching can also sit alongside Solution Focused Hypnotherapy as part of a broader support approach, depending on your needs.

Sessions

Coaching sessions are tailored to you and your goals.

Some people come with a clear focus around career direction or life change, while others are still exploring what they want and need from this stage of life.

Together, we work at your pace, focusing on what feels most important and supportive for your next steps.

Sessions are available online across the UK or in person.

Solution Based Hypnotherapy

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is based on the latest clinically proven neuroscience techniques and incorporates elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to help people make significant, positive changes in their lives.

It’s a collaborative process that combines talking therapy, an understanding of our brains, how they get us stuck sometimes, and importantly how we can get them unstuck, and deep relaxation (hypnosis).

Hypnosis is a relaxed, natural state, where the mind calms by using guided relaxation. By guiding you into a deeply relaxed and focused state, your conscious and subconscious minds are able to come together in focus. You are then able to quieten and relax your conscious mind and focus on thoughts and suggestions that might be useful.

Rather than dwelling on past problems or current conflicts, we support you to focus on the present and the desired future you want. Rewiring your brain, allowing you to let go of unhelpful patterns of behaviour and develop new healthier ones. Enabling you to feel calm, clear and empowered to make those real, positive changes in your life.

Frequently asked questions

Solution based hypnotherapy

What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a gentle, evidence-based approach that combines talking therapy and deep guided relaxation (hypnosis). Rather than dwelling on past problems or current conflicts, we work together to build on your strengths and create positive changes in your life. It’s a collaborative process designed to help you move forward at your own pace.

Will I be in control during hypnosis?

Yes, absolutely. Hypnosis is a natural, relaxed state, similar to daydreaming or that peaceful moment just before sleep. You remain in control throughout, and you can’t be made to do or say anything you don’t want to. It’s simply a time where your mind becomes relaxed and more open to helpful suggestions and new perspectives.

Do I need to talk about my past?

Not at all. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is focused on the present and your desired future. We don’t dwell on painful memories or analyse the past. Instead, we gently guide your mind toward what’s going well, what you’d like to be different, and how you can begin to make those positives changes in your life.

Can it help with anxiety, low mood, or menopause-related challenges?

Yes. Many clients come to Solution Focused Hypnotherapy for support with anxiety, stress, low mood, sleep difficulties, and the emotional changes that often accompany perimenopause and menopause. Sessions are tailored to support your unique experience, helping you feel calmer, more confident, and more in control.

How many sessions will I need?

Everyone is different, and there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The number of sessions required depends on your individual needs. Some people notice a shift after just a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. We’ll review progress regularly and work in a way that feels right for you.

Is it like stage hypnosis? Will I cluck like a chicken?

No, not at all. Stage hypnosis is for entertainment, whereas Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic, respectful, and professional approach. You’ll simply experience deep focused relaxation and guided positive suggestions, always with your wellbeing at the heart of the process.

What happens in a typical session?

Each session begins with a relaxed conversation where we focus on what’s going well and how you’d like life to be. I’ll explain a bit about how the brain works, which many clients find comforting and empowering. We’ll then work collaboratively as you identify small changes that you are seeking to make, ending the session with a calming and guided relaxation (hypnosis) session, helping reinforce the positive changes you’re working toward.

Is it suitable for everyone?

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a gentle and adaptable approach suitable for most people. If you have specific medical or mental health concerns, we can discuss whether this approach is right for you, and I may recommend speaking to your GP or another professional before starting.

Will I feel better straight away?

Many clients feel a sense of calm and relaxation after the first session, but lasting change tends to build gradually. Like watering a plant, the benefits grow over time as we gently reinforce positive thinking and behaviours.

Where are the sessions held?

The sessions can take place at my therapy room, which is in my home in Cotgrave, Nottingham. It is a calm, private space, designed to feel safe, welcoming and peaceful. A place where you can start to feel comfortable and at ease from the moment you walk in.

We can also hold the sessions online via Zoom.

How long are the hypnotherapy sessions?

The initial consultation is generally 45 minutes and a hypnotherapy session approximately 60 minutes.

How do I get started?

You can start by booking an initial consultation. This gives us a chance to talk about what you’d like support with, explore how hypnotherapy might help, and answer any other questions you may have. There’s no pressure, just a warm, safe and supportive space for you to consider what feels right for you.

Please note that outcomes may vary for each individual and the number of sessions required depends on your individual needs. Some people will benefit from just a few sessions whilst others may need to continue for a little longer. We will discuss this at your initial consultation, and review this regularly as your therapy continues.

All initial consultations are free and last approximately 45 minutes. This gives me the opportunity to explain the process of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, find out more about you and ensure that it’s the right course of treatment for you.
