I coach people from all walks of life, in person or over the telephone. Objectives to invest in coaching vary, however, all have one purpose in common: to do what they love by being who they are. Co-active coaching is based on the active engagement of both, client and coach, in a unique space, where new possibilities are explored. Your coach is your best supporter, walking the talk by your side and helping you clarify your life's real destination in the process.

aims

The most powerful goals on the coaching map will be based on what you know in your heart. As your coach, I will start by helping you assess the distance between what you want and what you are settling for, drawing from what is most natural to you in essence. Whether your initial concern is rooted in new vision building, relationship forming, increasing your income flow or making major life moves, you will be guided to identify key steps in your progress through purposeful action.

how I work

Deciding to undertake coaching is an exciting move and I honour my clients for their initiative and courage. I regard coaching as a collaborative process based on equal responsibility to bring about the desired outcomes. Trained as a co-active coach with the Coaches Training Institute, I apply processes that are flexible and empowering by bringing people closer to their own wisdom and resources. I also offer knowledge and skills from other strands of work and experiences, especially in the areas of purpose and vision forming for individuals and professional entrepreneurs.

“Aiming to reach out for potential investors, I was attempting to express our vision for our new brochure. During the session what became clear was the nub of our project, what the heart of the vision is. I came away with a key sentence that sums up our purpose and from that, ways of expressing other aspects of the project.” Project co-founder, Living Medicine, UK

Structure

After an initial conversation where basic questions are answered and booking is scheduled, the first coaching experience is 2-2.5 hour session where we map an agenda that matches your needs. Once an agreement is reached and the agenda is outlined, we start working together for a minimum period of three months. A monthly coaching structure is then co-designed, based on three hours that are divided into sessions face to face or over the phone.

Payment:
The first session is charged and paid for independently, followed by a monthly fee that is paid in advance at the start of each monthly cycle. Monthly fees include sessions and email communications.

An example for a combined monthly programme is:
One face to face session (1.5 hour)
Weekly telephone sessions (30min)
Email communications as agreed

It is possible to opt for telephone sessions only.

Feedback and testimonials

Superb coaching, wonderful space. The sessions are incredibly valuable, and you work in a really beautiful way. Executive coach and trainer, UK

Ella has a laser sharp intuition and is uncannily perceptive. Her ability to see right through me and truly hone it on the marrow of issues can be unsettling. Yet she does it in such a warm, compassionate and supportive way that one really feels held. Her wisdom is inspiring. Co-active coach, Belgium

Feels like running fresh water right from a spring... Artist, UK

Coaching sessions with Ella are like no other, they are truly unique. Together we create a space that reveals layers of myself that are astonishing discoveries in themselves. Aromatherapy practitioner, UK

To cut a long story short: I feel like a new person. Campaigner for peace and workshop facilitator, UK

Ella’s intuition and ability to pick up signals so accurately meant that we were able to cut through to the core of what was going on for me. IT business entrepreneur, UK

I was met with incredibly deep insights, which immediately nurtured in a sense of trust in the listener... This type of simple, unobtrusive communication between two people can become so instantly intimate and meaningful. I am very thankful for this opportunity. Teacher training student, US

The session was direct and the trajectory unexpected. The container was safe, and the witness went the distance... There is a longing to be asked the big questions. Thank you. Artist and educator, US

A crystal clear, glassy pond, no ripples, spacious and safe. With a clear mirror, the self was easily exposed. The mirror was the absence of 'me' or a premeditated agenda of the listener. Just pure presence... This quality of supportive, active listening is a precious gift. My mind will never forget. My heart is joyfully singing. My body is relaxed. Gratitude! Schoolteacher, US
