how we can help you

Is this you?

We know that asking for help can feel difficult, particularly when you are already feeling overwhelmed, under pressure or unsure of what needs to change so ask yourself:

~Are you under so much pressure that you are simply getting through each day, rather than feeling that you are genuinely able to enjoy your life and career?

~Do you feel so overwhelmed right now that you don’t know where to start?

~Perhaps you have tried changing things before, but keep returning to the same thoughts, behaviours or situations.

~How confident are you in making decisions that genuinely work for you and your needs?

~Do you find yourself constantly giving into fear, second-guessing yourself or relying on what others think you should do?

~Are you taking on too much, struggling to establish boundaries or putting everyone else's needs before your own?

~If nothing changed, how would you feel about being stuck in the same situation twelve months from now? This isn't about creating fear. It is about recognising whether remaining where you are is actually what you want.

~As someone with additional needs do you feel that people don’t understand what it’s like on a daily basis, leading to feelings of isolation?

What is it we actually do?

Coaching is a collaborative process that helps you understand where you are, where you want to be and what needs to happen to move between the two.

We don't believe you need someone else to take control of your life for you. Instead, our role is to help you develop self-awareness, clarity, confidence and practical understanding to make your own decisions and create meaningful change.

We are Empowerment Coaches specialising exclusively in helping professionals with additional needs because we have lived that life and can speak from experience. 


Our coaching focuses on helping you:

~Understand the real problems you are facing;

~Identify what you actually want to be different;

~Understand the thoughts, emotions and behaviours influencing your situation;

~Recognise patterns that may be keeping you stuck;

~Identify what needs to change;

~Explore the options available to you;

~Create practical steps towards change;

~Develop confidence in your own decision-making; and become increasingly independent in creating change for yourself

Our ultimate aim is not for you to become dependent on coaching. It is to help you become empowered enough to create change independently.

Why us?

Because we’ve been there.  Our coaching is different because we don't simply have professional coaching experience, we have lived experience of navigating disability and additional needs within everyday life and professional environments.


One of us has worked as a teacher for over 20 years and has a visual impairment. A coaching qualification completed in 2013 became the beginning of a much deeper understanding of how powerful coaching could be. That experience developed further through working as a Teaching and Learning Coach where we saw first-hand how coaching could help people develop confidence, identify solutions and create meaningful change for themselves.

The other has worked as a police officer for over 20 years, using coaching skills regularly within a demanding professional environment and also using coaching personally to help navigate the challenges that disability can bring to family life.

We have both experienced coaching professionally, personally and within our relationship.

That means we understand that additional needs can create challenges that extend beyond the need itself. They can affect confidence, independence, relationships, work, communication, decision-making and the people around you.

We are empathetic and non-judgemental. We understand how disability-related challenges can leave someone feeling overwhelmed, vulnerable, isolated or misunderstood. Equally we also understand that sometimes people need to be challenged, held accountable and encouraged to take back control.

We don't want to make decisions for you.  We want to help you develop the confidence and clarity to make your own.  That combination of professional coaching experience, lived experience and genuine understanding of disability is something we believe makes our approach different.  We have used coaching to transform from isolation and overwhelm to a place of connection, clarity and empowerment.

What Makes Our Approach Different?


Our approach has been shaped by more than qualifications.

We have the Coaching qualifications, we have the experience of coaching throughout our professional careers, but qualifications are only one part of what we bring. We have personally used coaching to navigate difficult situations, re-frame challenges and overcome barriers associated with disability and additional needs. We won’t overwhelm you or add more pressure, we will be driven by you to ensure you get the outcome you need.


This has shaped a fundamental belief in our coaching:

No one should be limited by their additional needs. That does not mean pretending barriers don't exist. It means helping you understand the barriers, recognise what is within your control, identify what you need and make informed decisions about how you want to move forward. We believe you should have the opportunity to make your own choices rather than becoming dependent on other people to make them for you.


Our coaching therefore combines:

Empathy + Challenge + Self-awareness + Accountability + Action + Independence

Our emotional intelligence enables us to adapt to listen without judgement and challenge when appropriate. We have coached people in our professional careers who did not volunteer for coaching but still ended up seeing the lasting benefits of this approach and we have both directed and developed individuals within our teams who could be described as high-friction, with very positive results.

We will help you take responsibility for the changes you want to create because

empowerment isn't about someone else taking control of your life.

It's about you getting that control back.
