Life coaching for women Your next chapter, with clarity & confidence.

It varies a great deal across the country. UK coaches usually charge either per session or for a block booked together, and experience, session length and how often you meet all move the number. Many do not publish a rate at all.

I charge £60 a session, and a session runs about 45 minutes. That is the same price whether we meet in person or online. There are no packages and no minimum number of sessions — you pay as you go and stop whenever it has stopped being useful.

The first conversation, the discovery call, is free, and there is no obligation to book anything after it.

A life coach helps you think clearly about where you are and decide what you want to do next. In practice that means asking the questions that surface your own thinking, reflecting back the patterns you have stopped noticing, and helping you turn a vague sense of "something needs to change" into a decision you can act on.

A coach does not tell you how to live, diagnose you, or hand you a pre-written plan. The direction is yours; my job is to help you see it clearly and keep moving toward it.

Broadly, therapy tends to look backwards to understand and treat distress that has its roots in the past. Coaching looks forwards: it starts from where you are now and works towards what you want next.

Coaching is not a treatment for mental illness and is not a substitute for therapy or medical care. If what you are carrying would be better served by a therapist or your GP, I will tell you that on the discovery call rather than take the booking. Some women do both, and that works well.

It is worth it when you are ready to change something and would think better with someone alongside you. It is not worth it if you are hoping to be told what to do — you will get more out of a few honest sessions than a long programme you are not invested in.

That is exactly what the free discovery call is for. It costs you nothing to find out whether this is the right thing for you right now, and I would rather you left that call knowing it is not than book sessions that will not help.

Either. I meet women in person in and around Shrewsbury, and I also work online by video call — which means we can work together wherever you are. Plenty of women mix the two: in person when the diary allows, online when it does not.

In-person sessions are held at a quiet, neutral venue we agree beforehand — not at my home or yours. If you would rather start online and meet later, or never meet in person at all, that is completely fine.

Shrewsbury and the surrounding Shropshire towns — including Telford, Oswestry, Church Stretton, Wem, Bridgnorth and Market Drayton — and the mid-Wales border. If you are a little further out, ask; I travel for the right fit, and there is always the online option.

Yes. I work exclusively with women, one to one. The pressures of midlife, motherhood, caring and career rarely fit a generic mould, and working with one group closely is what lets me start from an understanding of them rather than an explanation of them.

There is no set number. Some women come with a specific decision to make and are done in a handful of sessions. Others keep a regular slot through a longer transition and stop when it has run its course.

There is no fixed programme and no minimum commitment, so you are never paying for sessions you have stopped needing.

We talk. You tell me what is going on and what you would like to be different; I will ask a few questions and explain how I work. It is a conversation, not an assessment, and there is nothing to prepare.

By the end you will know what working together would look like and what it would cost, and you can take as long as you like to think about it. There is no obligation to book.

Yes. What you bring to a session stays between us. The only exceptions are the ones the law requires of anyone — a genuine risk of serious harm to you or someone else — and I would talk to you about it first wherever that is possible.
