GRIT: Confidence & Career Progression
“Working with Emma in her three-month programme was transformative.
When I started, I was stuck in a cycle of self-doubt and negativity that was holding me back professionally. Emma's question approach and the environment she creates helped me break through those mental barriers, and I was guided toward countless aha-moments.
Through our sessions together, I went from feeling paralysed by uncertainty to planning my career path with much more clarity. Most importantly, she helped me rebuild my confidence. Her approach gave me the tools I needed to move forward, and I’m now in a completely different headspace than when we began.
If you’re struggling with doubt or feeling stuck in your career, I truly recommend reaching out to Emma. She creates a supportive environment where real breakthroughs happen.

“Emma's kind, calm and guiding approach has been groundbreaking for me"
I started working with Emma shortly after returning from maternity leave. With two young children at home, I was struggling to find a healthy work life balance and was feeling close to burnout. I needed space to step back and talk things through: work, progression, the pressures of daily life, and what really matters to me.
Emma helped me gain clarity around my values, set better boundaries, and put practical strategies in place to better manage the balance. Looking back to when I started just three months ago, I can see how far I’ve come. I feel more present, equipped with a toolkit that helps me manage the chaos of work and life, and with a greater sense of resilience and confidence.
Having regular time carved out every two weeks has been incredibly grounding, and the accountability has made a real difference. I feel clearer, more focused, and much more confident in how I show up both at work and at home.
I am genuinely excited for the next three months of GRIT, building on these foundations and seeing what 2026 holds.
I would highly recommend working with Emma, it has been incredibly helpful having space and time to focus & reflect with Emma who's kind, calm and guiding approach has been groundbreaking for me!

“I can't recommend Emma enough".
I reached out to her during a period of rapid scaling at my startup where I was struggling with confidence while navigating the tricky internal politics that often come with being a woman in tech.
Emma is incredibly kind and supportive, but what I valued most was the brave space she created. She allowed me to dig into my insecurities, but she wasn't afraid to give me a gentle nudge or firm reality check when I was being unhelpful to myself or holding contradictory ideas. She helped me strip away the noise and refocus on my core personal values and the unique qualities I bring to my team. We focused on celebrating wins, and most importantly, she taught me how to be kind to myself in moments of failure by turning setbacks into clear, actionable learnings. We worked together for six sessions, and the impact was undeniable.
My manager has already reached out to share that they've seen a huge difference in my confidence, and we've even begun having exciting conversations regarding promotions. I've come away with a much stronger sense of my own value and the confidence to navigate professional dynamics with ease.
If you're looking for a coach who's equal parts cheerleader and truth-teller, Emma is the one.

“We ended up uncovering much more than I'd expected."
I've been working in data for fast-paced start-ups over the last few years, and I'm currently taking a break to work out what I want to do next. My career has been taking up a lot of my headspace in the past few years, and I was feeling stagnated and unsure how or where to grow.
The sessions started very self-directed, but with really useful questions and exercises to get to the root of the problem. We ended up uncovering much more than I'd expected. While I went in with more specific career-related things I was struggling with, through the process, I realised that investing all my energy and focus into my career wasn’t giving me the fulfilment I'd hoped for or expected. Moving forward, I've realised that putting all my focus on my career actually doesn’t help me achieve the success or happiness I’m looking for. I feel like I'm coming away from the sessions with much more clarity, rather than being stuck in the weeds.
My advice for other women going into coaching with Emma would be to be open and honest, trust the process, and let the sessions go where they need to go.

Business and Babies: Promotion on Mat leave...
I would thoroughly recommend Emma and encourage anyone who is going through a big transition, wanting to step up at work, or in need of some help to make their career and life coexist, to book a call.”
“I reached out to Emma when I was due to return to work following my second maternity leave. I had been promoted whilst on leave, and although I was very happy to be returning to work, I felt like I needed some help on how to ‘level up’ in my new role, whilst managing the readjustment back to full time work and the crazy juggle that is parenthood.
My life is chaotic, noisy, and busy, and I wanted the support of a professional coach to help get my priorities clear, and figure out some mechanisms and strategies to facilitate what I needed to survive and thrive, both at work and at home.”
“From the very first introduction, Emma made me feel comfortable with her friendly, approachable style. She immediately put me at ease by explaining how flexible our sessions would be to suit my needs. In some of our sessions, I’ve come prepared with a specific task or target I needed help with. Other times (more often), I come with a lot of unstructured thoughts / worries / tasks, and she helps me cut through the noise and get clarity on what I need to do to achieve the next thing.”
“I feel I can be completely open and honest with Emma. Everything we talk about is entirely confidential. There’s no judgement, there’s no risk of repercussions. I don’t have to portray confidence or pretend that I’ve got everything under control. What surprised me most was how the coaching bridged both work and life. In addition to specific work-related matters, Emma has helped me identify and navigate personal conversations to ask for help and support, and to think outside the box in terms of ‘at home’ problem solving.”
“She’s so supportive and encouraging, particularly if you have a confidence wobble. She has a variety of strategies and exercises which she uses to support me through whatever decisions, actions, changes (or sometimes acceptances) I need to make.
I would thoroughly recommend Emma and encourage anyone who is going through a big transition, wanting to step up at work, or in need of some help to make their career and life coexist, to book a call.”

“I had six coaching sessions with Emma to work through some career decisions and to tackle instances where my mindset limits my enjoyment and progression at work.
I was unsure what to expect and felt nervous, as talking about myself is not my thing (!) but Emma was very supportive and each session uncovered points of real clarity around what is really important to me and the beliefs creating mental barriers that hold me back - Emma then guided me to come up with actions I could take to overcome these.
I’m now feeling much more confident about certain aspects of my work and also more aware of my core values and what really matters to me.
I highly recommend Emma as a coach for anyone who is feeling unfulfilled in their career or being held back by a lack of confidence

"Emma has been instrumental in helping me navigate a stressful few months both at work and home. At times, I have felt that I’ve been spinning way too many plates and Emma has helped me gain lots of clarity.
We have worked on defining my core values and what they mean to me and how I can use these to authentically be myself and not get held back by Imposter Syndrome.
I highly recommend Emma to those who are looking for career coaching”

"I started working with Emma at a time when I felt really unmotivated and dissatisfied with my work - I'd hit a ceiling in my role and didn't really know where to turn for my next steps.
Emma helped me explore my strengths and how I could apply them in a more fulfilling role. Emma also helped me address my current working relationships and build healthy workplace boundaries.
Emma was able to rekindle my confidence and built excitement for what the future holds. I'd highly recommend a discovery call!
