Hi, I'm Anna - a creative business coach on a mission to create gentle and nourishing coaching spaces.

Running a small business can be a lonely journey. Throw creativity into the mix, and it’s easy to fall into the trap of comparison and self-doubt. Coaching can provide you with some gentle support to figure things out, together.

ABOUT

My journey with coaching began in 2018, when I experienced coaching first hand as a client. This was the year I took my photography business full time, and I quickly realised the need for a community of like-minded people. Not able to find anything that fit the bill, I organised my own creative community meet ups.

Soon after, I enrolled in my first coaching qualification, and haven’t stopped learning since.

I feel passionate about women-led businesses, and I have a particular interest in helping women build self-belief and confidence.

My Approach

I take a holistic view when it comes to you and your business. Nothing exists in isolation, and it’s my belief that taking a holistic approach allows for sustainable, long-lasting change. Coaching offers you the space to slow down and take stock, to gain clarity, and build an action plan to move forward.

Previous clients have described my approach as gentle, supportive, non-judgemental, motivational, and encouraging. It’s my hope that our time together provides you with the support you need - whatever this may look like. Sometimes, this may mean holding space for your thoughts and worries. On other days, you may want some gentle accountability to get things done. Above all, my goal is to create a safe, and judgement free space to help you and your business flourish.

It’s really important to me that my approach is based on ethical, evidence based practices. My work is trauma informed, but I’m not a trauma practitioner. I’m currently studying for a Masters in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology at UEL. Deepening my knowledge and expertise is really important to me, so that we can do our best work together.

Coaching is all about relationships, and finding the right coach to work with is an important piece of the puzzle, so please do get in touch if you have any questions about me or my coaching style.

 
 

A few things about me:

  • I love spending time in nature (even though I sometimes really struggle to get out there!)

  • I’m a wife and mum of one - my son is the reason I started my photography business in the first place

  • I love music and a good live gig, playing Ben Howard and Hania Rani on repeat

  • I took up wild swimming in the summer of 2022, and I wish I’d done it sooner

  • I’m originally from Poland, and moved to the UK when I was thirteen, so I’m familiar with how unsettling change can be
