Coaching with me

There are times in life and work when we know something needs to change, but we might not know what that change looks like.

You might be stepping into a new role, running a business, navigating a transition, leading a team, building a community or simply feeling stuck and wanting something different.

I create space for people to pause, think and reconnect with what matters to them the most.

As an ICF-accredited Transformative Coach, I work alongside individuals to explore new perspectives and options, reconnect with their strengths, gain clarity and move forwards in ways that feel aligned with their values.

I particularly enjoy working with:

  • Climbers running their own business

  • Professionals navigating change and transition

  • Leaders at all levels, stepping into new roles

  • Teams wanting to strengthen communication, connection and purpose

  • Organisations interested in creating environments where their people can thrive

Together, we might explore:

  • Character strengths and values

  • Purpose - your individual or organisational "why"

  • Your definition of success

  • Leadership strengths and skills

  • Navigating change and uncertainty

  • Team dynamics and communication

  • How you share your story

  • How you organise your time, energy and priorities

  • Building sustainable ways of working

  • Taking action towards the future you want to create

I believe meaningful things can happen when people are given the space and right conditions to think deeply.

Whether you’re looking for individual coaching, team development, facilitation or simply an initial conversation, I’d love to hear from you.

  • Tanya has effected huge change in my approach to my business and all without actually directing me to do anything. I went from feeling like my business was running away with me to being firmly back in control, motivated and with a framework to help me make future decisions in the best interest of the business. In just 3 sessions this has totally changed my approach to my business. It makes it feel mine again and I have a plan for success that matches my values.”

    — Andy McVittie, Author, Physiotherapist, Climber

  • "Tanya had helped me to look at a new perspective on my life-changing transition from a career woman to becoming a mother. She helped me to discover my core challenges and values which guided me to overcome the fear of giving birth and entering the unknown of parenthood. With her help, I was able to focus on getting myself more informed about preparing for the birth of my first daughter. She provided me with a framework that helped me to switch my ‘fear’ to ‘empowerment’. At the end I was having a really empowering birth experience and a smooth start to parenthood."

    — LP, Senior Strategic Designer, Berlin

  • "Having coaching with Tanya has enabled me to make life changing decisions about my career that I would never have done before. Although my future success is not yet defined I know it’ll come and I now have the time and energy to focus in what needs to be done.”

    —Cathy Russell

  • Tanya was a fantastic coach. I went to her without having a really clear purpose of what I wanted to get out of it, but by her careful listening and thoughtful questioning she was able to help guide me to creating a really great plan for a work situation that I was struggling to overcome. Thanks Tanya!"

  • Tanya has a very warm and non-judgemental style, with well-timed probing questions that encourage you to think. There is plenty of time provided for definition of the goal for the session and then as the session progresses, there are regular checks to ensure that you feel that progress is being made. But without pressure if it isn’t. The whole experience is relaxed but focused on making a difference. This is what makes the sessions so valuable. Thank you!"
