About Olivia
In this busy, modern world we live in, we all need a personal champion. As a certified Life Coach & NLP Practitioner, I offer practical support for people seeking a change in work or life.
As your personal coach, I will be helping you bridge the gap from where you are now to where you want to be. Away from the daily noise, you will have the freedom and space to talk things through and get some fresh perspective and focus. You will gain clarity on what you want to achieve and ultimately how to get it, through clear action plans and an understanding of any obstacles or behaviours that might be in the way.
My fresh, open and practical approach gets results. Sessions are wholly positive and enjoyable, giving you motivation, energy and confidence for yourself and the future.

Experience
I am an accredited Life Coach and NLP Practitioner who works with a wide range of brilliantly smart and inspiring clients, covering all kinds of topics including career and personal development, relationships, parenthood and confidence.
I gained my qualification in Personal Coaching through The Coaching Academy - the original training body for Life Coaches in the UK. My NLP certification is internationally recognised by the American Board of NLP and the ANLP in the UK.
Prior to being a Career/Life Coach and NLP Practitioner, I was a Business Director at a top London advertising agency. Despite a successful, happy career in London and New York, I always felt a background niggle drawing me towards my real passion in life - psychology and the power of the human mind - which brought me to where I am today.
It is truly inspiring to work with brilliant people who, everyday, prove that if you put your mind to something and are happy to work hard, the cliches of achieving anything are true...for everyone. Taking the first step is the hardest but once you've started, you'll be astounded at how many doors will open for you.
Coaching style
I have coached a wide range of clients, each with an unique story.
Whether you're a manager, a CEO, an entrepreneur, a business owner or a new mother, I offer support for people seeking a life change. Here are just a few examples of the types of topics we might work through:
- Support through a life change: Finding yourself at a roadblock (in life, career, relationship etc) and wanting and needing a change but unsure how to take the first step.
- Life balance: Juggling too many spinning plates and feeling like you are doing everything and nothing.
- Reaching aspirations: Needing some support and focus in reaching your clearly defined personal and professional goals.
- Confidence and self-belief: Negative self-beliefs and thought patterns intruding on your everyday life.
- Self-improvement: Finding that you have become a shadow of your best self.
- Loss of direction: Feeling a little directionless and perhaps no longer seeing yourself as the lead character in your life.
- Loss of identity: Finding that a new life role (eg becoming a parent) has thrown up all kinds of self-identity questions.
