Lovely Words

A

Elinor provides a safe and non-judgemental coaching space to be honest about the challenges as well as the benefits of being self-employed.
She listens attentively and provides a constructive approach to solving issues and quandaries.
Working with Elinor helped me get clearer on where I want to take my business in the year ahead.
I would definitely recommend!

Elinor knows her stuff!
Being self-employed, it can be tough to do business planning and pricing structures and this is where Elinor really helped me. We discussed ways I could bring in additional income into my business without burning myself out and she challenged me to look at my prices to ensure I'm charging what I'm worth.
She was very supportive, encouraging and just made me feel really good about what I'm doing with my business. I left our chat feeling motivated and excited to get working on the things we discussed.
Elinor is super easy to talk to, she really listens and she is clearly very passionate about helping small businesses to be the best they can be!

I’m neuro-spicy, Elinor is the only person who can keep me on track!
She’s brilliant at helping me stay realistic with my goals, and the best part is she asks all the right questions without making me feel pressured or interrogated.
Elinor lets me verbally process everything, and she lets me do that without rushing or judging.
Honestly, I wasn’t sure this would work for me, but she’s become absolutely invaluable.

What do I need…Coaching or Mentoring?

Through both coaching and mentoring, I create an environment where your personal and professional growth can bloom naturally, guided by experienced hands that know how to nurture each step of your journey.

You will cultivate the soil and plant the seeds of your dreams. I’ll support you as you grow, learn, and finally, bloom, while we recognise and nurture the qualities that allow you to flourish in all aspects of life.

Coaching takes an "ask, not tell" approach, weaving together thoughtful questions with intuition, curiosity, and insight.

We work with your roots - your values, passions, and purpose to nurture growth.

My coaching style isn't about hustling for productivity or seeking quick fixes to your problems. It's about building trust, seeking deep self-awareness, and making a powerful commitment to the changes that actually matter to you.

Coaching is a powerful, reflective tool that leads to deep self-awareness, learning, and a lasting commitment to change.

Coaching

Unlocks potential through self-discovery.

Goal-focused and action-driven.

Uses questions to spark growth.

Empowers you to find answers.

Mentoring helps us forge the path together, with shared experience and suggestions

With careful questioning and judgment-free suggestions, we sift through the seeds of your situation, assessing their potential to take root.

Do they align with your vision?
Do they feel like the right seeds to plant right now?

My coaching skills shape my mentoring approach, and I believe deeply that the answers to your growth already lie within you. Sometimes, however, you may need help digging the earth—creating space for those seeds to flourish.

Together, we nurture them, ensuring the right conditions for your dreams to grow strong and vibrant, blooming in their own time.
