INDIVIDUAL COACHING & BEHAVIOURAL CHANGE
You don’t need to know what kind of support you need.
You just need to know that you’d like something to change.
You might know exactly what you want to change.
Or you might simply know that something isn’t working quite as well as it could.
Perhaps you’re successful on paper but feeling overwhelmed underneath it. You know what you need to do, but you’re not doing it. You’re overthinking, procrastinating or doubting yourself. Something has changed in your work, relationships or life and you’re trying to work out who you are now.
Or perhaps there is a particular response, fear, habit or pattern that you understand perfectly well, but understanding it hasn’t made it disappear.
That’s where we start.
Not with a technique. With you.
YOU DON’T NEED TO CHOOSE THE METHOD
People don’t usually arrive knowing whether they need coaching, behavioural change work, NLP, hypnotherapy, EFT or something else.
And I don’t think you should have to.
My work begins with understanding what you would like to be different, what’s happening now and what might be getting in the way.
Coaching provides the foundation for the work we do together. Depending on you, your goals and what emerges through our work, I may also draw upon behavioural change approaches, NLP, psychoeducation, hypnotherapy, EFT and other appropriate techniques.
Sometimes we need to think differently.
Sometimes we need to behave differently.
And sometimes the conscious part of you already knows exactly what to do — but something else keeps getting in the way.
The method follows the person — not the other way around.
WHAT MIGHT BRING YOU HERE?
I know what I need to do. I’m just not doing it.
You’ve thought about it. You may have researched it, planned it and promised yourself you’ll start.
But somehow there is still a gap between knowing and doing.
We can explore what is keeping that gap in place and what might help you move through it.
I’m holding everything together — but it’s costing me.
You’re capable. Other people probably rely on you.
But perhaps you’re overwhelmed, exhausted, constantly thinking or finding it increasingly difficult to switch off.
We can look at what’s happening beneath the performance — and how you can function well without continually running yourself into the ground.
Something is changing — including me.
Career change. Leadership. Relationships. Parenthood. Midlife. Retirement. Loss. Success. An empty nest. A new beginning you didn’t necessarily expect.
Sometimes the old version of life — or the old version of you — simply doesn’t fit anymore.
Coaching can give you the space to work out what comes next.
My confidence or performance is getting in my way.
Interviews. Exams. Public speaking. Leadership. Sport. Difficult conversations. Being visible. Taking the next step.
Sometimes you know you are capable of doing something, but your mind or body seems to have other ideas when it matters.
We can work with both.
My brain doesn’t seem to work the way everyone says it should.
Perhaps you’re neurodivergent. Perhaps you suspect you might be. Or perhaps conventional advice about productivity, organisation, motivation and confidence has simply never worked particularly well for you.
You don’t need to make yourself fit the method.
We find approaches that fit you.
I keep repeating something I want to change.
Habits, avoidance, emotional responses, fears and patterns don’t usually appear for no reason.
Rather than simply asking How do I stop doing this?, we can become curious about what keeps the pattern in place — and what needs to happen for something different to become possible.
DEVELOPING BEHAVIOURS YOU’D TO HAVE MORE OF | MOVING ON FROM BEHAVIOURS THAT NO LONGER SERVE YOU
-
Including—but never limited to:
• Anxiety / feelings of anxiousness
• Imposter Syndrome
• Relationship with food
• Self-image
• Low self-esteem
• Low confidence
• Self-forgiveness
• Vaping / smoking
• Motivation
• Health and wellbeing
• Sleep
• Preparing for interviews / exams
• Performance improvement (sports, business, public speaking…)
If something on your mind isn’t listed here, that doesn’t mean we can’t work on it. Your mind is your own—and together, we’ll use coaching and hypnotherapy techniques to help your mind work for you, not against you.
THREE WAYS WE MIGHT WORK TOGETHER
EXECUTIVE & PROFESSIONAL COACHING
For professionals, leaders, business owners and people navigating performance, career, leadership, confidence, neurodivergence, decision-making or change.
Coaching gives you somewhere to think properly — with challenge, curiosity, reflection and accountability rather than somebody simply telling you what to do.
The work might include leadership, professional identity, confidence, communication, boundaries, performance, motivation, career direction, overwhelm or navigating significant change.
COACHING + THERAPEUTIC CHANGE
Sometimes thinking and talking aren’t the whole answer.
When the thing getting in your way involves a deeply established response, emotional association, fear, habit or automatic pattern, our work can incorporate approaches including hypnotherapy, EFT, NLP, somatic techniques and psychoeducation alongside coaching.
You remain an active participant in the process. We decide together what is appropriate and useful.
SELF-PACED LEARNING & PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
Prefer to explore change at your own pace?
My self-guided workbooks and online courses bring together coaching principles, behavioural science and practical exercises to help you understand yourself, challenge unhelpful patterns and make meaningful changes.
From procrastination and boundaries to habits, confidence and personal reinvention, you can learn, reflect and experiment in your own time.
Your development. Your pace. Your next step.
CHANGE IS A PROCESS, NOT AN APPOINTMENT
A single conversation can create an insight.
A single session can create a shift.
And within a few sessions, people can begin to think, feel and respond very differently.
But that’s not where I want our work to stop.
I work with clients through a programme rather than approaching change as a collection of isolated appointments.
Because there is something powerful about having the time to understand what’s happening, begin changing it, take those changes into real life, notice what happens — and then build upon what we’ve learned.
Our work has a beginning, a middle and an end.
BEGINNING — UNDERSTAND
Where are you now?
What would you like to be different?
What might be keeping the current pattern in place?
We establish where we’re going before deciding how we’re going to get there.
MIDDLE — CHANGE
This is where we explore, challenge, experiment and practise.
Depending on what you need, our work might involve coaching, behavioural change, NLP, hypnotherapy, EFT, psychoeducation or other appropriate approaches.
Between sessions, life gives us useful information too. You get to notice what’s changing — and what still needs our attention.
END — INTEGRATE
The purpose isn’t to make you dependent on coaching.
It’s to reach the point where what you’ve discovered and changed belongs to you.
We recognise what’s different, consolidate what’s working and make sure you have the understanding and tools to continue without me.
Beginning. Middle. End.
Not one-and-done — and not forever either.
Looking for something more specific?
Some changes come with their own particular context.
Alongside my wider coaching and change work, I have developed specialist support for two areas where the challenges, emotions and decisions involved can benefit from a more focussed approach.
ETCH Careers
Career Coaching & Professional Change
Your career doesn’t have to be going badly for you to wonder whether it’s still right for you.
Whether you’re considering a career change, returning to work, pursuing promotion, facing redundancy or simply asking what next?, ETCH Careers provides dedicated space to explore where you are, what matters now and where you want to go next.
ETCH Weddings
Wedding Confidence & Emotional Support
Your wedding can be something you’re enormously excited about — and still bring anxiety, pressure, expectations or emotions you weren’t anticipating.
ETCH Weddings offers individual support for the person behind the wedding, helping you work with confidence, overwhelm, nerves, family dynamics or anything else that threatens to get in the way of experiencing the day as you want to.
WHAT WORKING WITH ME IS LIKE
Expect curiosity.
Expect questions.
Expect me to challenge you occasionally.
Expect to understand more about why your brain and body might be doing what they’re doing.
And expect the work to be tailored.
I bring together coaching, behavioural change, education and an understanding of how people think, learn and respond. Where appropriate, I can draw upon NLP, hypnotherapy, EFT, emotional coaching, neurodivergence-informed approaches, psychoeducation and somatic techniques.
You won’t experience all of those simply because they’re in my toolkit.
We’ll use what is useful for you.
START WITH A CONVERSATION
You don’t need to arrive with a perfectly formed goal.
You don’t need to know whether you need coaching or hypnotherapy.
And you certainly don’t need to diagnose what’s going on with you.
You can simply tell me:
“This is what’s happening. This is what I’d like to be different.”
That’s enough for us to begin.
A discovery conversation gives us an opportunity to explore what you’re looking for, whether I am the right person to support you and what working together might look like.
