Whether you’ve moved country, changed workplace, or returned somewhere that no longer feels like home, transitions can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and those around you. Through coaching, I support people navigate career and cultural change with greater clarity, confidence and belonging.
Do any of these sound familar?
- You’ve moved places or jobs and feel disconnected or isolated.
- You don’t feel like you belong in your current workplace.
- You’re preparing for a major move but feel uncertain about what’s next.
- You’ve returned “home” but no longer feel at home.
- Your identity has shifted and you’re struggling to reconcile old and new versions of yourself.
You don’t have to navigate these transitions alone. Coaching with me can support you with making sense of change and moving forward without losing who you are.
Coaching with me
I’m Libby – a qualified Professional Coach accredited through the European Mentoring and Coaching Council.
I understand what it’s like to feel disconnected from your surroundings – whether that’s feeling like you don’t quite “fit in” at work, navigating life in a new cultural environment or because ‘home’ now feels unfamiliar.
I understand how these experiences can quietly shape your confidence and sense of self.
Coaching with me is simple and it works.
I do not follow a set approach or fixed formula.
I don’t claim to know your life better than you do.
Coaching with me is tailored to you. I listen to you and your individual experience, I ask questions to deepen self-awareness and challenge you to question unhelpful assumptions and beliefs. I gently hold you to account to take small steps to move forward with your goals.
Sometimes I use creative exercises to support new thinking such as drawing your thoughts and using objects to visualise your thinking. These approaches can help surface insights that may not emerge through conversation alone.
I offer coaching virtually, as well as in person in Farnham, Surrey.

Coaching Programmes
Every programme starts with a 45 minute free exploratory session – this session is your opportunity to discover whether coaching is right for you before committing to further sessions. It’s also a chance for us to understand the goals or issues you’d like to focus on.
The exploratory session is followed by core coaching sessions where we’ll explore your goals further as well as strategies and solutions.
Each session lasts one hour and may come with action plans to support you in moving forward. If booking multiple sessions, our last session will be to wrap-up and consolidate insights and create a plan for sustaining your growth beyond the programme.
Sprint Session
A focused 1‑hour session to help you move through one specific challenge with clarity. Ideal when you need quick direction, a sounding board, or support with a decision. A simple, powerful step forward – no long‑term commitment.
Step Forward Package

If cost is a barrier for you – I believe coaching should be accessible to those who may benefit from it. If cost is a barrier due to your circumstances, such as being a student, between jobs, or experiencing financial hardship, please get in touch. I keep a small number of reduced-rate places available and would be happy to discuss your situation.

My credentials
A level 5 Apprenticeship Qualification in Professional Coaching
This is a government-backed apprenticeship for which I was awarded distinction.
European Mentoring and Coaching Council Accreditation (EMCC)
I am an EMCC Accredited Coach at foundation level. This accreditation recognises that my coaching practice has been assessed against rigorous professional standards. It also reflects my commitment to working in line with the EMCC Global Code of Ethics and to ongoing personal and professional development.
Having lived and worked in different parts of the UK, Spain and New Zealand, I also bring first‑hand understanding of what it means to start again, adapt across cultures and navigate professional and personal change.
I draw on my 5 years’ experience in Equality, Diversity and Inclusion and an MA in Intercultural Communication to support people in understanding their cultural identities. This also ensures I take account of the whole person – including lived experience, identity, as well as any cultural or organisational barriers that are outside of the person’s control.
For almost a decade my work has focused on supporting other people adapt to new surroundings. This includes supporting international students to adapt to the UK academic culture, coaching diverse colleagues in the workplace to build belonging and direction and working with refugees in local community integration.
These experiences and qualifications have given me deep insight into the emotional and practical challenges of transition, uncertainty and rebuilding confidence. They also underpin a coaching practice that is informed, rigorous and grounded in both theory and lived experience.
