Coaching for individuals

Bring me anything.
We’ll calmly find the way through it.

Calm doesn’t mean slow. One-to-one coaching for real transformation—not just a good conversation. Change can happen quickly, without you being rushed. Your pace. Your way. Total confidentiality. No judgment. The focus is you, your goals, and what needs to change.

Not one size fits all

No two coaching sessions
are the same.

I coach people of all ages, backgrounds and walks of life. Your coaching starts with you — your goals, your experiences and what you need from our time together.

The right coach. The right relationship.

Anna Bates smiling, wearing glasses and a green jacket.

Finding a coach isn’t just about choosing a package. It’s about finding someone who is right for you — and making sure we’re right for each other. The relationship between coach and coachee matters. We start with a conversation to explore that fit together.

Your space. Your own way forward.

Coaching is non-judgmental and non-directive. It’s different from mentoring or therapy. When I’m wearing my coaching hat, I’m not here to give advice or tell you what to do. This is about what we see here and now, and how we move it forwards.

We often bring in psychology, using models to help us understand how we’re thinking and why. We also use models and techniques to help us think in different ways and see things through different lenses.

That’s part of the space I provide: to help me ask the right questions, listen to your answers, and follow where your thought processes are going through appreciative inquiry. It’s space for you to find your own way forward.

When the solutions come from you, they reflect what works for you. They are the ones you will find most useful.

“I almost didn't book one at all because 'what good could it do?' I'm so glad I did though because she is amazing at what she does, and without her and Room 11 Coaching I wouldn't be anywhere near as confident in my abilities and managing my team.”
