Blessing Iroha Chukwu

Hi my name is Blessing, founder of The BlessedBlessing Consultancy & Coaching. I am passionate about people and adult social care. I can help leaders in the care industry deal with the overwhelm that comes from managing excellence in the profession and balancing that with wellness and fulfillment in their personal life. People come into the care industry because they care and often are burnt out to the point of leaving care for the same reason. I can help leaders called to the vocation of care keep the fire that drove them into the profession of care and maintain the fire that fuels excellence in their operations and leadership.

Karine Denton

Hi, I’m Karine and I help my clients to feel content and happy with their life. 

I decided to become a life coach after years of not feeling like ‘me’, struggling through life as a stay-at-home mum of 3 and then working in a job role that left me feeling physically and mentally ill. 

I have now found myself again and am living my best life. I am passionate about helping you find your way to living your best life.

I can help you with overwhelm, feeling like there aren’t enough hours in the day, feeling lost, low confidence, habit change, feeling the pressure to do it all and to do it perfectly and instigating or going through change.

Jude Arnup aka the Shapeshifter

Hello! My name is Jude (aka the Shapeshifter) I’m a creative coach. I support creatives from all walks of life to find fulfilment doing what they love, by addressing the stuff they don’t love quite as much. 

My first question is what do you want to get out of creative coaching? Is it support to step up to a bigger role, find a new direction, or learn new skills?  Maybe you want to reconnect with a creative passion that’s got a bit lost along the way? Or perhaps you just don’t know. You’re just bored of the unruly, unregulated, self-doubting.  The revisions and indecisions. The contradictions, cravings and the downright destructive games the creative mind plays.  I hear you. There’s no pressure to come to me with a defined goal, but be assured with my support, you will reach one and feel more confident, more balanced, more resilient and less stressed.

Creatives say I am pragmatic. They like working with me because I help them get stuff done.  I guess that’s because the bedrock of our work together will be around finding clarity. Once you have clarity you have the confidence to do anything. It’s that simple. Not saying it’s easy, but trust in the process…

And me.

I’ve been around the creative block (literally) many times. I’ve always been a writer, but for the past 30+ years I’ve worked in advertising – multiple guises – copywriter, executive creative director, agency owner, career consultant, mentor and coach. I really do understand the unique ‘challenges’ and rewards a career in the creative sector brings- what it takes to go for it and when to simply say, no.  

I’m not a tick box coach, I don’t do quick fixes, platitudes and fridge magnet philosophy. No ‘be your best self’ on my watch. My style is described as, gentle but deeply challenging. (After all you are paying for results.) I take YOU seriously, but we’ll share a few laughs along the way.

Ama Zaky

Hi, My name is Ama and I am a Self-Discovery Life Coach.

I am passionate about empowering women from ethnic minority backgrounds to live a life without cultural or religious limitations.

My journey into my own self-discovery started in my late teens/early 20’s. I battled with the internal struggle of having a family, community, culture and religion that all wanted a say in my future, with hardly any freedom to express what I truly wanted.

I am of Egyptian/Thai heritage and was brought up in a loving happy home with a strict Muslim and Middle Eastern upbringing. Growing up in London was tough as although I felt blessed to have cultural influences from both the Middle East and the Far East, I needed to find my own identity.

At times, it felt like my entire existence, from how I dressed, to my studies, career, friends, and even hobbies were under constant scrutiny. I knew that people usually had my best interests at heart but there were so many times when I felt like I couldn’t just be ME! I had to be everyone else’s version of me. The more I did this, the more I shrank and stayed small. This had serious consequences on my mental health, spiritual health, my relationship with God and even my family.

I eventually went through my own healing process of tapping into the beautiful parts of my culture and religion, which re-established my confidence in communicating my values with others. I did this by initially allowing myself to feel uncomfortable in certain situations where the goal was to live a more authentic life. Through this process of my own personal development, I’ve even been able to support friends, family and clients now that I am qualified with the PCA.

I now have the privilege of helping women who are struggling to navigate life in a Western society, whilst still being true to their authentic self and upholding their beliefs, values, culture and religion.

Stephen Ellerker

Stephen Ellerker

I have had a long career as an optometrist and a self employed businessman. Following a challenging divorce in my early forties, I took up a second career as a Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I initially trained as a counsellor at Keele University, followed by a Masters degree in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy at the Berne Institute.

After a short period of retirement, I decided to train as a Life Coach. It wasn’t until I experienced life coaching, and life coaching training with Carole Ann at the ”Pure Coaching Academy”, that I was fully able to put important pieces of my life fully together, and discover both who I am, and my life purpose. I realised coaching had given me my “road map” of discovery, as well as a “manual” for positive living.

My life purpose has been discovering a strong sense of identity, clearer boundaries and a commitment to self nurturing. To use my coach training, my psychotherapy training and life experience to ‘give back’, and build a worthwhile career I feel passionate about.

Having been abandoned to a children’s home at age three, and then to boarding school at the age of seven, I understand how I’d missed out on the nurturing that would have enabled me to fully develop. I believe we never completely lose ourselves, but instead uncover the self identity that was always there. An identity shrouded by years of unhelpful negative and untrue programming. Now, I understand how I can nurture my own persona with clarity, kindness and a loving and wholesome relationship with myself that began with refusing to abandon my inner child.

I have the qualifications, experience and life experience. If my story resonates with you, then let me take you on a journey of discovery, and introduce you to your future self by starting with a free discovery session.

I believe each of us has a unique and personal life purpose. Make your life purpose, your contribution to a life that feels fully alive.

Laura Whitfield

Laura Whitfield

Hi my name is Laura, I am a Spiritual Life coach and Evidential Medium.

My spiritual journey started when I was 30, I was going through a quarter life crisis.

I had lost my sense of self, I felt alone, my anxiety was so bad, I found it hard to leave the house, my confidence was at an all time low, I was verging on the edge of depression.

I was in a pit of despair not knowing how or if I would escape it.

The answer finally came to me, “Do what you loved when you were younger.”

My journey began with mediation practice. I started to feel the clarity I needed to move forward.

I was invited to a spiritualist church and decided to sit in circles and develop my intuition, psychic and mediumistic abilities.

The development of my gifts helped me to do the work I needed, to feel more aligned.

I found my passion and love for life again.

I reconnected with the magic i was missing for so long.

No longer was I unconfident or anxious. I no longer felt  lost or disconnected from myself.

I started to work professionally demonstrating mediumship and offering private readings.

I noticed a lot of people becoming reliant on the messages they received.

Wanting answers to questions, I knew they already had within them.

I often found myself coaching clients during private readings.

Which was extremely empowering. 

So I took the plunge and decided to become a certified life coach.

I believe in empowering my clients to reconnect with the power within them. To trust their intuition, connect with their spirituality and align their life in a way that feels right for them.

I support you to create your dream life.

We all have limitless potential!

Sometimes we need that support and guidance to remember who we are.

 

Melissa Neckar.

Melissa Neckar

Throughout my career as a teacher of Classics and Art History, I was known as someone students (girls, boys, non-binary) could come to for help with all sorts of problems. 

The kind of problems I helped students with were the unavoidable ones that come with being a young person: time management, organisation, social interaction, friendships, indecision. We think of these as part of the rite-of-passage to adulthood and so can expect young people manage on their own. Instead of letting students struggle solo to the detriment of their studies, relationships, health, happiness, I offered them a trusted space where we could tackle the inevitable.

Parents and friends can’t always provide that space. It’s near impossible for either to listen and help without agenda – whether they are consciously aware of it or not. The kind of “micro-problems” I’m talking about are not necessarily profoundly problematic enough for a therapist. Teachers in appointed pastoral positions often have their time taken up with the “macro-problems”, like bullying, self-harm, severe anxiety.

Sometimes students needed me more as a coach, especially in cases of indecision. In these instances I’d act as a sounding board – without agenda. I’d ask questions that would help pupils to find clarity and access an inner voice of intuition.

Sometimes they needed me more as a mentor, as someone with personal and professional experience with their struggles. I offered empathy and knowledge to help to come up with the right strategies for structuring time, improving concentration, developing healthy routines, building confidence, finding & staying committed to personal values.

Sometimes I was a blend of coach and mentor.

In whatever capacity I acted, students would feel better for being heard, for thinking aloud and unpacking a struggle, for having a goal and some action-steps to try out, and for knowing they had someone to report back to, someone to track their progress.

Coaching and mentoring students gave me profound joy and fulfilment. As more students sought my time – including ones who had left school – it became harder to help alongside my responsibilities as teacher.  After ten years, I wanted a break from school teaching but not from helping young people – be that academically or personally. So I continue to guide students through the classical and art history worlds as tutor and more committedly now through our world as coach and mentor.

My name is Victoria Derkach, I help driven professionals to achieve their desired work-life balance and personal development goals.

As a successful corporate career professional and a life coach I understand your journey and know your challenges.

Hugh Wahla.

Hugh Wahla

Hi, I’m Hugh. I help high achievers like you find purpose, balance and joy.

My approach has always been about empowering people to believe in themselves and to deliver their own successes. By asking the right questions I can help you find your own answers. Whether that’s looking for support in helping your career or a more dramatic life change

I’ve managed to overcome the very early trauma of losing most of my immediate family and home, achieve professional success as a CEO and MD of global design and fashion brands, help raise an amazing family as well as find joy and beauty in everyday life.

Whatever I’ve achieved I’ve always had this niggling sense that there must be more. My own journey has involved several major professional and personal shifts in direction as well as a more spiritual 10 year journey through meditation, self discovery and growth and now I’m getting incredible rewards from helping others.

Ana Carneiro.

Ana Carneiro

Graduating from Pure Coaching Academy, in April 2022, was the needed step just before Ana Carneiro started ‘Coach Ana Powerhouse’, a project born out of her passion for personal development and human behaviour and her desire to impact people’s life in the most meaningful and lasting way. Before committing fully to coaching, Ana worked almost 20 years in the Energy Industry and Engineering consultancy. With technical responsibilities, she experienced frequent business travel around the world, to assist project needs, including different expatriate placements and onshore – offshore rotations.

Being a high mobility professional for many years gave Ana an insight into the issues typical of these types of dynamics: the “non-routine” routines, the fast moving days, the challenging work-life balance.

“Coach Ana Powerhouse” is a response to the underlying call of support from individuals under this lifestyle, enabling High mobility-High Performance professionals connecting work-life dynamics and finding balance and joy in all aspects of Life.

”Walk the Talk”, and partner with Ana in this project , with 1 to 1 sessions, group experiences or immersive workshops. In tandem start a process of personal self-discovery and deep change.

Julia Caddick

Julia Caddick

After 25 years of successfully training singers and performers, during the pandemic, I took the opportunity to train as a Life Coach with Pure Coaching Academy. I’ve now taken this training in two different directions of coaching. Professional Presentation Coaching, and Coaching for Adolescents.

Your Voice, Your Impact – Vocal coaching and professional presentation coaching
Did you know we all have a secret weapon at our disposal to help us inspire, engage and instil confidence in others? It’s something we use every day, but most probably never use to its full potential…We’re talking about our voice.
In my presentation coaching, I help people who need to speak in public as part of their work to develop their voice to its full potential. As an experienced vocal and performance coach, I work with all the vocal and physical aspects of public speaking, enabling my clients to make a real impact, and to become confident, clear presenters, and inspirational leaders.

Coaching for Adolescents:
I love working with teenagers, I always have! As a coach, my work with adolescents is deeply embedded in my values – compassion, understanding, validation, encouragement, support, affirmation, energy and positivity. When I work with young people, I listen and form connection first. Then reflective listening and affirmation are the way in to a journey of empowerment with each young person. I encourage my young clients to trust their own good instincts, and help them develop sound judgement and confidence in themselves and their abilities. As their confidence grows, they find within themselves the tools to deal with their challenges. As a coach, I’m there to help point to skills they may have that they can develop more, and to introduce new ideas and skills that can help them achieve their aims. It’s exciting and much needed work.

Sheila Bregeon

Sheila Bregeon

I am Sheila Brégeon from Making Visions Life Coaching, a qualified and experienced self-belief and confidence coach. I help people to move past the barriers and obstacles that a lack of self-belief is creating for them, enabling them to make lasting and meaningful changes to their lives.

I have struggled with my own lack of self-belief, both as an artist and during my time working as manager in the charity sector. Many people are focused on the needs of others, often at the expense of their own needs. Burn out, overwhelm or stagnation are common and a lack of self-belief is often at the root of these problems.

I help people to find their vision for their perfect life, identify the steps that they need to take to get there and work through the things that may be holding them back. They will learn to know and value themselves better and they’ll become much clearer about their future life as well as making the most of now.

Rosalind Dodd

Rosalind Dodd

Ros Dodd is a graduate of the Pure Coaching Academy. She is a naturally curious person who loves working with others. She is fascinated by how to get the best out of people by challenging their thoughts and perceptions of themselves, seeing change as positive and empowering, and using the benefits of neuroscience in coaching.

After qualifying with Pure Coaching Academy she undertook a course with the Neuroscience School to crystallize how the brain works with stress, focus, sleep, diet etc. so that clients can understand and act in accordance with their neural biology. Ros has had great results working with people in a variety of life situations such as career change and stagnation, empty nest syndrome and confidence, business creation and development.

Ros is particularly interested in resilience, courage and performance coaching. Having had a daughter in GB gymnastics, she has insight into how confidence, goal setting, motivation, self-belief, positive stress and resilience affect performance throughout the preparation period, but significantly under pressure in competition. She works with young athletes, but also any young people who lack self belief and need support creating their pathway in life.

She is currently undertaking training to become a sports massage therapist and hypnotherapist to complement her life training skills.

Julie Friel

Julie Friel

Hi, my name is Julie and I am a fully certified and accredited Life Coach helping people make positive change in their lives thanks to my time at Pure Coaching Academy.

Self-esteem, confidence, clarity, direction. Are those areas of struggle for you? Don’t worry if so, they were for me too once. We all, at some point, struggle with limiting beliefs; beliefs often formed in the past that hinder us and trip us up, holding us back from living the life we know we could be living.
The good news is, we can change how we think, we already have that power within ust, we might just need a helping hand accessing it.

Coaching is that helping hand.

I offer a warm, encouraging space for my clients to work through confidence issues, life changes & personal challenges, career shifts and relationship difficulties. I help my clients overcome their fears and move confidently towards their dreams.

Lisa Heacock

Lisa Heacock

Have you ever felt stuck? Stuck in a job you didn’t like? Stuck in an unhappy relationship? Stuck in grief after loved ones have died? I get it. I have been there. I was feeling stuck and knowing there was more to life than my 9-5 job, more passion and purpose. That is when I decided to follow my dreams and become a Life Coach.

After graduating from Pure Coaching Academy in the Autumn of 2021, I quit my 9-5 job and am now the proud owner of Holistic Life Coaching with Lisa Marie. I am passionate about helping those who feel stuck. I help individuals rebuild, transform, and take action to create the life they dream of.

As a Life Coach, I help my clients view their life holistically. You can eat all the kale in the world but if you have toxic relationships or a career you hate, no amount of kale is going to bring about true health and happiness. I believe every human has that knowing within them. Knowing when something does not feel right. I help individuals uncover their knowing so they can live free, unapologetic, loud and powerful.

Life can be difficult and change is not easy. I love walking alongside my clients as they transform and celebrate with them as they break down the blocks that are holding them back.

I live in England but have clients all over the world and offer one-to-one sessions via Zoom.

Before training to become a life coach, Floss had 20 years’ experience in the sports industry, working at top level governing bodies and Clubs such as Premier League, NFL, Chelsea, Rugby World Cup, Norwich City and QPR.

“I know that working in sport can be seen as the ultimate, but that it comes with vast and unique pressures. It’s cut-throat, it’s lonely and it’s not a place to show your weaknesses and vulnerabilities.

It’s a place where change happens quickly, but when you are in control, you can orchestrate your change.

This is where I will help!”

Karen McGinn

Karen McGinn

Hi my name is Karen McGinn and my aim is to help you live the best life possible. So, what qualifies me to work with you as your Life Coach?

Apart from my certificate in Life Coaching from The Real Coaching Academy, I have struggled with many of the issues that Life Coaching can help with including: Feeling as though I am not good enough, the need to please everyone in order to gain approval, being uncertain of what I want to do with my life, fearful of failing and generally feeling as though life is passing me by and I am not living the life I want.

I know what it is like to be sure that there is more to life, but not have a clue what it is or how to get it.

Through coaching I have successfully turned my life around and now have the life I have always dreamed of. I still have my wobbles and doubts, but now I have the knowledge to deal with them effectively when they arise.

As well as my coaching qualification I have a Post Graduate Diploma in Careers Advice and I have successfully run my own business since 2011, creating my perfect work life balance. I am a trained Style Consultant and I love helping women declutter and revamp their wardrobe. I am a qualified Pilates and Yoga Instructor and passionate about health and wellbeing. I love anything creative and have finally worked up the courage to call myself an artist.

So, let me help you ‘Find Your Fabulous’.

Pritum Patel | The Feel-Good Life Coach

Pritum Patel | The Feel-Good Life Coach

Imagine feeling inspired every morning, energised all day and deeply satisfied in the evening – because your work is so aligned to who you are, it doesn’t feel like work. It feels like you.

Hi, I’m Pritum Patel, The Feel-Good Life Coach – and I’m here to help you get there.

I know from experience that being truly happy at work is not about your work conditions. It’s not even about the work itself. It’s about you.

While spending 3 weeks on my couch with work stress, I got a life-changing wakeup call that the job was never the issue. I was. Once I saw my problems were self-made, I made changes to myself – small changes that made a big difference and set free the real me.

The result? I fell in love with the very same job that stressed the hell out of me. And it didn’t stop there.

Fast forward 3 years. I now live in Majorca and spend my days doing exactly what I love, the way I love it – I have deep and meaningful coaching calls, filled with aha moments for my clients, that leave them feeling energised. And when inspiration hits, I’ll go write an article at my local beachside coffee shop or throw in the odd snorkeling break.

I’m not just doing work I Iove that feels like me. I’m living a life I love – where work just slots in perfectly around everything else I love.

That’s what doing work that feels like me looks like – for me.

For one of my clients, it looked like founding a sustainable startup that’ll change the world and scoring top new investors, over silly conversations and a friendly beer.

What would it look like for you? Let’s take an adventure and find out.

I bring the incredible coaching training I got from Carole-Ann, combined with EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique, a powerful energy therapy that helps clear our blocks), as well as a dose of spirituality and straight-talking loving support.

Gloria Jensen

Gloria Jensen

Bonjour & Willkommen! I am Gloria, a multicultural Life coach, passionated traveller and surfer.

There is more to life than what we think is possible and available to us. I help people to become who they aspire to be and live a deeply satisfying and happy life. I specialise as well in supporting Empaths, Gifted & Talented Adults, who often are not aware of their specific challenges. These intense personalities have a highly absorbing mental and/or emotional life, and they never got their « instruction manual » to their atypical functioning. I give them the missing piece of the puzzle.

More generally, my talent is in shifting your energy and mindset to make you flourish. Helping people to get a new and transformational perspective is one of the greatest value of my coaching. Once you master your mindset, you have a tool for life! Let’s make it happen and close the gap between where you are and where you want to go – in English, French or German 😉

Naila Khan

I am a Life coach specialising in building confidence and guiding my clients to realise their visions and achieve their goals.

As someone who understands the challenges life can throw at you, I have learnt through experience how to overcome and thrive through adversity. I could appear confident to the outside world whist totally lacking confidence deep down, on the inside. Well, it turned out that the old and overwhelming feeling of powerlessness eventually became my gift in working with extraordinary men and women like you. The power of the work I do is evident from the of set. I am experienced, structured, flexible and results oriented.

I have reinvented myself in my fifties and I am passionate that women at whatever age they are, realise that past fifty there is great life potential. Recently I have started a successful Networking group called ‘Network Provence’ here in the south of France.
