“Helen enabled me to think about my new business with clarity and focus. This in turn led to purposeful goals being accomplished and my feeling that I owned the business rather than the business owning me! I highly recommend Helen as a Professional Coach.”
“The work challenged some of my self-beliefs which I now see were both outdated and unhelpful. This is extremely beneficial. I am pleased with the progress I’ve made so far. I enjoyed the sessions –Nel is very engaging and warm whilst being incisive.”
“Nel has provided excellent personal guidance. I wanted to look at varied aspects of my life and the sessions have given me much-needed insight and ways forward. For what has been a modest investment, I have got a lot of value and lasting benefit. I have no hesitation in recommending her.”
“Nel is extremely friendly, down to earth and really easy to talk to! I have really appreciated the opportunity to discuss my next steps and consider options which I had previously ruled out. I would recommend Nel to anyone who is looking into coaching options!”
“The sessions with Nel were very helpful and interesting. Her relaxed yet professional style made me feel very comfortable and allowed discussions to flow freely. The sessions have given me a lot to think about and have included a number of insights which have been extremely useful.”

Services
Feel like you are at a crossroads? A bit stuck? Facing a dilemma? Want to re-connect with your core values? Curious to explore your purpose in life?
With a future facing, positive and practical approach, my coaching offers you space to stop and reflect. I will support and challenge you to take directions and make decisions that are right for you. I will be a partner by your side as you initiate and work through change whether that be in your professional or personal life.
I have a deep understanding of the commercial world, its culture and pressures, combined with an understanding of the importance of raising personal self-awareness and the profound insights that can be gained through incorporating yoga and meditation techniques into the coaching.
I have the lawyer’s ability to take on vast and complex amounts of information and get to the heart of the matter. I will also challenge you (with warmth and humour) and delve deeper into the “evidence” you present.
In addition to traditional psychotherapy techniques and deep listening, I incorporate activities in nature and experiential artistic exercises to tap into your creativity as well as breath-work, meditation and yoga.
Struggling to manage energy levels and fatigue?
My practice includes a specialism of working with people who have energy issues including those diagnosed with CFS/ME and other conditions which involve fatigue. After contracting an illness in India, I battled with post viral fatigue syndrome, and was forced to make transformational changes to my life, and came out the other side. For the better. I now offer hope, support and guidance to others during what can be an incredibly frustrating, challenging and lonely time.
