Coaching: A Space to Think

I offer online coaching, or in person for those who can get to Oxford. 

I work with individuals at all levels of an organisation, as well as freelancers and individuals looking for their next steps - including career moves or pathways into active and engaged retirement.  Coaching is often short term (4 sessions) over a particular period of change, but I also work offer ongoing  reflective practice sessions for those looking for non-management supervision or mentorship in a safe, non-management environment. 

With over 12 years of experience as a leadership coach, I’m acutely aware of the challenges faced in today’s workplaces. I also draw from my continued hands-on experience in founding and leading projects.

What people bring to coaching 

People come for coaching for all sorts of reasons and often at a time of feeling stuck or in the midst of transition.  You may be looking for ​

  • More clearly defined personal, professional, or organisational goals

  • More positive feedback from colleagues and others

  • Increased personal motivation, sense of purpose, work-life satisfaction

  • Creative solutions to seeming insoluble problems

  • Better connection where relations are sticky, tangled or have gone cold. 

  • Greater confidence in communication with colleagues and external partners

My approach 

I learned the power of coaching first hand when my first experience of being coached led to a complete and unexpected change in my work.   

I work with  listening, attention and co-creation. I ask 'what is taking your attention right now?" We identify which issues need working on in order  to put more ease into the systems in which you live and work.  I have accumulated a range of tools to support the process, from my teachers and my work with some brilliant clients. I  bring my own life and work experience to the mix too.  I work systemically looking at interdependencies and zooming out to look at macro issues as well as zooming in to develop practical actions and accountability. 

My background

I  hold a Post Graduate Certificate in Advanced Executive Coaching. I have 12 years of experience and professional development, having trained with renowned coaches in various approaches, including narrative conflict dissolution, organizational constellations, transactional analysis, and NLP. 

Coaching with Annie has given me the confidence to navigate more senior roles, to have confidence in my leadership style and ability to handle difficult situations. Annie has helped me understand the way I want to approach work and how to balance that with a sense of self and a home life. Annies coaching has been a turning point for me and I would recommend her to everyone!

“Working with Annie helped me find direction both professionally and personally. She equipped me with the tools to make choices that had previously left me feeling paralyzed. Through our sessions, I developed new perspectives and achieved a renewed sense of clarity. Annie challenges you in ways that others often overlook, yet those challenges are precisely what you need.”
