Individual coaching
For when you know something needs to change
but can't quite get there on your own
Your situation
Something in your career or leadership isn't working — and you can't quite get to the bottom of it. You've tried reading more, asked people for advice, made plans that didn't stick. Nothing fundamentally changed. The problem isn't more information. It's something you can't get at alone.
What leadership and career coaching can help with
Career transitions
You've outgrown your current role but can't bring yourself to move on — or you don't know what's next.
Stepping into leadership
You've taken on a bigger role and the skills that got you here aren't enough for where you're going.
Success that doesn't feel like yours
You've built something that works — but it doesn't feel like yours anymore. Something needs to shift and you can't quite name what.
Building something new
You're going independent, starting a business, or reinventing what you do — and need a thinking partner.
When everything feels urgent
You have ten things pulling at you and no clarity on what actually matters.
When information isn't enough
You can see what needs to happen but something keeps stopping you — self-doubt, perfectionism, fear of making the wrong call.
How coaching works
Coaching gives you a space to look underneath the what ifs, the doubts, the expectations — and find what's really going on in your career or the way you lead. What's stopping you. What's possible, not just what looks possible from where you are right now.
We start with you — what matters to you, what you want to be different, and what's actually getting in the way. My approach draws on Gestalt and Solution-Focused coaching — which in practice means we pay attention to what's happening for you right now, and work toward what you actually want, not just what seems achievable from where you're standing.
Sessions are confidential.
What becomes possible
A few things past clients have done or found after working together.
- Got clear on where their strengths and talents actually lie and started designing their career around them
- Finally applied for roles they'd been thinking about for months and landed one
- Stopped chasing every new business opportunity, and focused on what matters most right now
- Got clearer on what they were and weren't willing to take on — and started leading from that
- Set boundaries around work and created a system that protects them
- Got out of the endless loop of competing priorities and found a clearer direction
Being coached by Mia was an incredibly valuable experience. I came in with a weighty challenge and uncertainty, and she created a safe, supportive space to explore my thoughts. Her genuine curiosity and gentle guidance helped me land on simple, yet impactful next steps. I left the session feeling both supported and empowered. I'd highly recommend Mia to anyone seeking clarity and guidance!

Frequently Asked Questions
This isn't tactical career coaching — I won't rewrite your CV or tell you which job to take. I help you create the space and structure to think clearly, step back from the noise, and see patterns you're too close to notice.
Maybe you're stepping into a bigger role and need to operate differently. Maybe you're good at what you do but feel stuck, and you're not sure if the problem is your job, your field, or something else entirely. Or you can see a way forward but something keeps stopping you.
The work is about getting clear on what's really going on. What you actually want (not what you think you 'should' want). What's genuinely stopping you. What options you have. Most clients discover that what felt fixed is far more negotiable than they imagined.
My coaching style follows ICF (International Coaching Federation) ethics. I draw on various models and frameworks—including Gestalt and Solution-focused approaches—depending on what's most useful for you.
We start with a free intro call to understand what's going on and whether coaching is the right fit. From there, I'll suggest an approach — typically fortnightly 55-minute sessions over a few months.
The work looks different depending on what you're navigating. Sometimes it's more practical — building skills, working through a specific decision, figuring out how to lead differently in a new role. Sometimes it goes deeper — unpacking the beliefs or assumptions that are quietly shaping how you see your options, what you think is possible, or how you show up. Often it's both, at different points.
Most people work with me for 3–14 sessions over 2–9 months. Some situations resolve in a few focused sessions. Others benefit from ongoing support as you navigate sustained change.
After our intro call, I'll propose a timeframe based on what you're working on. We can always adjust as we go.
Pricing depends on the number of sessions and what we're working on. I work with both people self-funding and organisations sponsoring coaching — each engagement looks different.
I'm happy to discuss specifics on an introductory call so we can figure out what makes sense for you.
Coaching and therapy can look similar from the outside — both involve a confidential conversation with a professional, both can deepen self-awareness, and both can lead to meaningful change. The difference lies in purpose and scope.
Coaching is usually used to help you set and achieve personal or professional goals. People usually choose coaching when they're at a major career crossroads, moving into a role with greater responsibility and scope, changing fields, or navigating leadership challenges and big decisions.
Therapy is provided by licensed practitioners trained to support mental health, psychological change, and emotional wellbeing. It often helps you process emotions, improve relationships, and work through unresolved experiences and trauma. It also explores personal history, family patterns, and emotional responses that shape how you show up today. People seek therapy for a wide variety of reasons. Some common ones are persistent feelings of distress or overwhelm that interfere with daily life, support with mental health conditions, or to understand and change unhelpful relational patterns that keep repeating.
Both can help you understand yourself more deeply and live a more fulfilling life aligned with what you truly want. Many people benefit from each at different stages of life — sometimes even alongside one another.
This matters to me. If I think therapy would serve you better than coaching, I'll say so. If you're unsure, I'm happy to think it through with you.
Yes — many organisations fund coaching for their people, particularly for leadership development, career transitions, or navigating change. If you'd like to explore this, I can provide a brief outline of the engagement that you can share with your manager or HR. Email me or book an intro call for more details.
