Transformational coach · London and online, worldwide
For the people who hold everything together.
You're the person everyone turns to. The one who keeps things moving, solves problems, and somehow always finds a way. You're brilliant at getting things done for everyone else, but rarely give yourself the same attention.
From the outside, life probably looks successful. Underneath, you might be questioning what's next, feeling stretched too thin, or wondering why success doesn't feel how you imagined. Coaching creates the space to slow down, think clearly and reconnect with what you actually want.
01 Coaching
Transformational coaching, grounded in a real career
Transformational coaching isn't advice or mentoring. It's a structured, confidential space to look at the thinking and patterns behind how you work and live, and to change the ones that no longer serve you. I've spent years leading teams through high-pressure environments, so I know first-hand how easy it is to put yourself last.
Leading under pressure
For leaders carrying big teams, big budgets and big expectations who want to lead with clarity rather than run on adrenaline.
Feeling stuck or lost
For anyone who's outgrown the current chapter but can't yet see the next one. A step up, a change of direction or a life built around more than the job title.
Confidence and voice
For the people who deliver brilliantly and still doubt themselves in the room. Closing the gap between how you perform and how you feel.
02 My approach
The answers are usually already there. Life just gets noisy.
I don't believe coaching is about giving advice. Most people have far more wisdom than they realise.
Coaching isn't someone telling you what to do. It's the space to hear yourself again, notice what's really going on and move forward with intention. My role is to ask the questions that help you find what's already there.

04 Why I do this work
Hello, I'm Holly
For years I've built a career leading events: managing teams, delivering high-pressure projects, always another deadline, another challenge, another person depending on me. I loved it. But I also know what it's like to become so focused on looking after everyone else that you stop checking in with yourself. To keep achieving while quietly wondering what's next. To feel successful on paper but disconnected from what you actually want.
Being good in a crisis doesn't mean you have to live in one.
That's what led me to coaching. Today I'm combining years of leadership experience with the accredited Diploma in Transformational Coaching at the Animas Centre for Coaching (accredited by the ICF, EMCC and Association for Coaching) to help the people who hold everything together create some space of their own.
05 Talk to me
Let's start with a conversation
No pressure. No sales pitch. Just an honest conversation about where you are, where you'd like to be, and whether coaching together feels right. Leave your details and I'll be in touch personally to find a time.
Thank you. I'll be in touch personally, usually within two working days.

06 Events
Strategic event leadership
Alongside coaching, I partner with founders, brands and growing businesses to design, build and deliver events that create genuine impact.
Whether you're launching an event programme from scratch, shaping a new portfolio or need experienced leadership to bring a complex project to life, I step in where I'm needed most. From event strategy and operational planning to delivery, team leadership and brand experience, I bring calm, clarity and momentum to every stage of the process.
Need experienced event leadership without hiring full time? I'd love to chat.
Get in touch about eventsGreat events don't happen because of one good idea. They happen when strategy, operations, people and experience all work together. That's where I come in.
07 Questions
Things people often ask
What is transformational coaching?
Transformational coaching is a structured, confidential conversation that looks at the thinking and patterns behind how you work and live, not just surface-level goals. Rather than giving advice, I ask the questions that help you understand what you really want and change the patterns that no longer serve you.
How much does coaching cost?
Coaching is six 50-minute sessions over three months. While I complete my accredited diploma, founding clients pay £450, or £150 a month for three months. The standard rate after the founding period will be £720.
Where do sessions take place?
I'm based in London and sessions are held online by video call, so we can work together wherever you are in the world. I currently coach clients from London to New Zealand.
Who do you coach?
Leaders and ambitious professionals in high-pressure, delivery-driven careers, including events, agencies and operations. Typical themes are career transitions, leading under pressure, confidence and working out what's next.
Are you a qualified coach?
I'm completing the Diploma in Transformational Coaching with the Animas Centre for Coaching, accredited by the ICF, EMCC and Association for Coaching, alongside more than ten years of leadership experience in the events industry. Founding clients work with me at a reduced rate during this final stage of training.
Is coaching right for me?
Coaching works best if you're ready to think honestly about where you are and take some ownership of what happens next. You don't need a clear goal to start. Plenty of people come to coaching knowing only that something needs to change. The discovery call is there to work out together whether it's the right fit.
What happens on the discovery call?
It's a free 30-minute video call. You tell me a bit about what's going on and what you'd like to be different, I explain how I work, and you can ask anything you like. There's no obligation to go ahead, and I'll be honest if I don't think coaching with me is the right thing for you.
Is coaching confidential?
Yes. What you share in our sessions stays between us. The only exception, as with any professional coach, would be a serious concern for your safety or someone else's, and we'd talk about that first. As part of my training I discuss my coaching practice in supervision, but never in a way that identifies you.
Is coaching the same as therapy?
No. Therapy often looks at the past and helps people work through difficult experiences or mental health concerns. Coaching is focused on where you are now and where you want to go next. If something comes up that would be better supported by a therapist, I'll tell you.
