I work with individuals who feel stressed, stuck, unfulfilled, or who just want more from life.

Using psychology-based approaches, we explore how you can create the conditions for lasting personal success.

Coaching

  • I offer personalised 1:1 coaching, informed by the science of human flourishing to help you be (and perform) at your best, more often.

    Together we’ll explore what’s holding you back, shift your mindset, reconnect with your strengths and motivation, and help you move towards a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling and authentically yours.

    Where helpful, I’ll provide practical tools and strategies to support you, and will be your accountability partner and cheerleader as you move towards your goals.

    Coaching engagements include optional WhatsApp support and accountability between sessions, and personalised resources, reflection exercises and development activities.

  • I offer the below 2x evidence-based psychometric tools to help individuals deepen self-awareness, understand behavioural patterns, and uncover strengths, motivations and development opportunities.

    Skills Discovery (formerly Strengths Profile): The assessment focusing on maximising potential through strength development rather than fixing weaknesses. The tool measures up to 80 different strengths across the three dimensions of performance, energy, and use. It provides personalised development recommendations based on each individual profile.

    Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT®2) - The only abilities-based Emotional Intelligence assessment that directly measures skills rather than relying on self-reporting. Developed by field researchers Mayer, Salovey, and Caruso, this scientifically validated tool functions like an IQ test for emotional reasoning, providing accurate feedback and developmental recommendations for personal and professional growth.

A person standing on rocky ground with arms outstretched in front of a canyon with layered cliffs and trees under a partly cloudy sky.

  • you know what needs to change yet you just can’t seem to make it happen.

  • you’re feeling stressed, overwhelmed or burnt out, and want more calm, clarity and purpose in your life.

  • you’re navigating a transition in work or life and need a thinking partner to find your footing.

  • you’ve lost your spark and want to feel like yourself again.

  • you’re at a crossroads and can’t decide which direction to take.

  • you know that something keeps getting in your way - a pattern, a belief, or a habit - and you’re finally ready to do something about it.

My Happy Coaching Clients

"A session with Sophie is life-changing. Her approach unravels the thoughts and actions that are holding you back from achieving your goals. Since working with Sophie, I've transformed my approach to interpersonal relationships, which has improved both my self-esteem and my effectiveness as a leader at work."

— Christina, Sales Manager

"I started coaching with Sophie because I was feeling stuck. From the very first session, Sophie helped me unpack what resilience really meant for me and gave me tools that actually worked in real life. I’ve come out of this process feeling more confident, more steady, and way better equipped to handle whatever life throws my way."

— Jessica, Project Manager

 FAQs

  • Therapy often looks to the past to help you heal, process challenges, or work through difficulties that may be affecting your present. It can be especially helpful if you’re dealing with unresolved trauma, mental health concerns, or need a safe space to process emotions in depth. Therapy usually happens weekly across a longer time-period.

    Coaching, on the other hand, is future-focused. It’s about where you are now and where you’d like to be. As your coach, I don’t diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Instead, I support you in clarifying your goals, building on your strengths, and developing practical tools to move forward with greater confidence and purpose. I do so whilst adhering to the global code of ethics for coaches. Sessions can be arranged weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. Whatever best suits your schedule and needs. 

  • Everyone’s journey is different, so I tailor the coaching process to your individual needs, goals, and pace. Some people come to work on a specific or immediate goal (e.g. gaining clarity, stress reduction, or a mental reset). Others stay longer to really embed mindset shifts and lasting change.

    In my experience, and supported by The International Coaching Foundation and coaching outcome studies, meaningful transformation usually takes a minimum of 3-6 months. This gives you time to explore, practice, reflect and grow at your own pace.

    The flow of any engagement will always follow the below:

    • Free chemistry session – A complimentary call to get to know each other, explore what you’re looking for, and see if coaching feels like the right fit for you.

    • First Session: Initial goals & intentions – Clarifying what you’d like to focus on and set intentions for our work, creating a roadmap that feels meaningful and achievable.

    • Regular 1:1 sessions – Meeting for one hour at a cadence that suits you and maintains momentum. We’ll have focused conversations where you’ll gain clarity, explore challenges, and build practical tools to move forward. Each session is shaped around what matters most to you in that moment. We’ll continuously be reflecting on your progress, celebrating wins, and adapting the journey so it continues to serve you well.

    • Between-session support – You may receive reflective exercises, tools, or prompts to deepen your insights and keep momentum going between sessions.

  • The free chemistry session is a no-pressure opportunity for us to meet, discuss what you’re looking for, and get a feel for how we might work together. It’s your chance to ask questions, experience my coaching style, and see whether it feels like a good fit, before making any commitment.

    Coaching is a personal journey, and it may not be the right fit for everyone. If at any point you feel that coaching isn’t what you need, you are free to end the engagement. My goal is to support you, not to keep you in a process that doesn’t feel aligned.

  • Yes, I work with clients across the UK and internationally, offering both virtual and in-person coaching sessions and workshops in central Edinburgh.

  • If you need to cancel or reschedule your session, I kindly ask for at least 24 hours’ notice. This allows me to offer the space to someone else who may be waiting.

    If less than 24 hours’ notice is given, the full session fee may still apply, except in the case of emergencies or unforeseen circumstances. I will always approach these situations with understanding and compassion.

    My intention is to create a flexible and supportive coaching relationship, while also respecting both your time and mine.

  • COACHING
