Hi, I am Tamara and I support women in building self-confidence and a positive sense of self-worth, free of self-doubt, by guiding them through the process of creating an affirmative change in their lives. Having reached a low point in my own life and career, I decided that something had to change, and it was time to face my fears (and there were many!). Now, I help my clients reach that realisation; understanding and resolving the psychological blocks hindering their progress: finding the clarity of direction and purpose, developing positive habits and ultimately acting to change their lives accordingly.
Establishing effective and confidential coach-client relationship is important to me, with a sense of trust and rapport. Paramount to my coaching approach is empathy, unconditional support, motivation and positivity (with a bit of humour!) – I want to create a space that is safe, considerate and non-judgmental, to unable my clients to freely explore any issues and challenges.
In addition to 1 complimentary coaching session, we will also have a 30 min, non-obligatory consultation phone call to see how we can work together.
Majority of my clients are women (by chance rather than choice) who find themselves at a crossroads – whether in personal or professional life – and are ready for a transition but unsure of what that is yet and where to begin.
The coaching process often uncovers what are known as limiting beliefs – beliefs about us which we hold to be true, but actually do not serve us and often work actively against us and hinder our progress. When faced with the notion of change, some clients also experience an emergence of the critical inner voice (I am not good enough/ I cannot do it), coupled with fears, which prevent us from seeing and taking advantage of the possibilities.
Part of my role is to identify and challenge limiting beliefs and fears, with the view to allow for a more positive outlook to be uncovered, adopted and tested by the client.
In addition, I help my clients build their emotional health – identifying, understanding and managing our emotions so we can learn how to process them, relieve stress and keep the disruptive emotions and impulses under control.
Below are the challenges and issues (not exclusive) that I can provide support with:
• Confidence building and increasing self-belief
• Overcoming low self-esteem
• Clarity of purpose and direction
• Identifying and resolving limiting beliefs and fears (negative thoughts and behavioural patterns)
• Questioning self-critical thoughts (inner voices saying ‘I am not good enough/ I cannot do it') - helping you recognise them for what they are and manage them so to reduce their relevance in your life
• Finding your core values and aligning them with your life choices
• Identifying your strengths, skills and passions
• Lack of motivation and procrastination
Tamara has been a fantastic coach

Working with Tamara has been transformational
[more]
She is an extremely kind, fun and approachable coach, who listens without judgement, challenges without expectation and shares her own insights to help give perspective. She has helped me feel in control of my thoughts and actions, leading me to an infinitely more purposeful way of living where I feel empowered, self-accepting and whole again. She has my highest recommendation.

Working with Tamara has been an excellent experience and one that I have really valued Her style is natural and personable making her easy to talk to.
[more]
I felt I made really significant progress in both re-defining my goals and setting a course towards them with her help. She stuck a really good balance between pure coaching, and sharing or reflecting back valuable observations to help me see things in new ways. As a trainee coach myself I also learned a lot from her in terms of style and best practise.

I worked with Tamara for over 6 sessions examining my aversion to marketing
[more]
Loads of progress has been made and while not fully resolved I now have the tools to move forward.
Tamara is brilliant at holding space and knowing when to ask if you're stuck rather than jumping in, helping you clarify your thoughts and take them that little be deeper. Encouraging you to become curious about what is happening for you.
I wholeheartedly recommend working with Tamara as a coach who is a pleasure to work with.

Tamara's coaching is insightful gentle, and yet powerful She creates a space to explore my whole self, and kind of transforms and releases energy.
[more]
I feel valued and safe, able to bring to the surface, heal and let go of insecurities, the defeatist, negative inner voices. In just 2 sessions, some significant changes have happened in my career and personal life. She is helping me discover the 'real' me and make decicions, take actions from that part of myself. Thankyou Tamara, I highly recommend your coaching.

I worked with Tamara for almost a year and it has been a fantastic journey especially since I was trying to figure out my life and business
[more]
Tamara was very helpful, positive, and was a great listener. She helped in focusing in the things that were stopping me from moving forward by asking the right questions. I gained more clarity and confidence about what to do next but also more clarity about who I am and what I want to achieve. I definitely recommend her as a coach!

Tamara has been a wonderful coach helping me determine my direction and work through my limiting beliefs and other obstacles
[more]
She has an extremely warm and kind nature that encourages deeper communication and a genuine connection. Her approach inspired me to explore my own thoughts and find my own solutions rather than reaching out for subjective advice. She comes across as very knowledgable and professional with a great deal of enthusiasm and optimism.
She has demonstrated a genuine interest in my project and I feel a real friendship has been formed. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to find some clarity in what they want to be pursuing, and how to get started and maintain motivation and momentum. I personally did trials with two other coaches before finding Tamara, though her energy, authenticity and compassion set her apart from the others and made choosing to work with her an easy decision.
Thank you again for all your help Tamara, and hope to speak soon!

I can't recommend Tamara enough - she is warm, friendly and easy to talk to
[more]
Her sessions were enjoyable and have ultimately changed the way I think about things for the better. Thank you again, Tamara, for all the work you do to improve people's lives!

I cannot express how much I appreciate and value the time Tamara and I spent working together
[more]
I contacted her at a very special moment of my life; I was returning to work from maternity in a company going through a huge reorganization. I found myself lost and insecure as never before in my career - and in my life - and what is worst: stuck, and not really knowing which direction to take.
Long story short, Tamara helped me to dust my vision off, sharpen it, put my crown back on my head and work towards it!
I am now at a completely different place and great things are happening! There was serious work and reflection in this journey, of course, and she was there all along the way, helping me to keep focused and accountable and throwing in the right questions and ideas to get me out of thinking loops. Plus, she helped me to do this pretty fast. Honestly, she has been to my life like the Nitro button in Too Fast too Furious. ????
Extremely intuitive, she always taps on the essence of things, quickly identifying your needs and stretching when needed to get the best out of you. She is practical and gentle, and has a great sense of humour, so the sessions are also fun! She is a total rock star and I am really grateful that I found her! Thanks a lot, Tamara!!

I worked with Tamara on my blocks that prevented me from achieving my goals and it was a great feeling getting down to the hidden reasons which were stopping me from moving forward
[more]
Incredible how coaching works and how powerful it is. Tamara asked the right questions that got me deep into thinking on each session. I have learnt a lot about myself for which I am grateful and would not be able to do so without a coach. I highly recommend working with Tamara.

Finding Tamara has been a god send for me Through circumstances I had lost direction and self confidence and I had to find a new career.
[more]
From the beginning Tamara's approach and professionalism was empathetic and understanding and helped me to feel at ease opening up her and her sense of humour added light to our sessions. Tamara gave me the tools to help clarify my thoughts, find my values and see what my strengths where. I was able to organise and set goal that I actually achieved and was able to see progress for once. She helped me put my skills into the right use and align with my values which I had struggled with for so long, once this was in place the foundations to my direction started to appear. Tamara has given me my self confidence and a feeling I have a purpose again, she is a fantastic skilled coach I will continue to work with her and recommend to anyone needing clarity in any area to work with Tamara.

I got in touch with Tamara in October 2018: I'm so glad I did
[more]
I was extremely stressed and unhappy in my job at the time, and was experiencing a massive crisis of confidence, low self esteem and a lack of direction and sense of purpose - both in my career and my life in general. I came across Tamara's profile on coachmefree and her bio really resonated with what I was looking for in a coach.
I worked with Tamara for a total of 10 sessions and found her approach transformational. With her help and guidance, I reassessed my outlook on work and life, centring around my core values. Without Tamara, I don't think I would be where I am now. 3 weeks ago, I took a huge risk and quit my job, with no other job to go to, and Tamara supported me throughout this process - from building up to handing in my notice, working on my interview technique, and being in control of my working environment going forward. My confidence is continuing to grow. Thank you, Tamara!

I contacted Tamara as I was having what I call a tizwaz moment, a crossroad of confusion
[more]
I found Tamara’s coaching to be amazing, she always intuitively knew what thought provoking questions to ask. She has a lovely energy and flow to her coaching style, that enabled me to unfold my “non movement” moment and move forward with ease to achieve my chosen goals. I would definitely recommend her.
Many thanks Tamara

[more]
In that time, I observed her professionalism, commitment and good humour.
During our time together, I achieved a great deal of work on my wellness business, I was able to save time, as I noticed the difference between my priorities and the less important tasks. Tamara is a diligent and detailed Life Coach, I found her to be honest, compassionate and willing to gently guide me to examining my core beliefs and creating new ones in order to achieve better results.
I wholeheartedly recommended working with Tamara as a Life Coach.

I contacted Tamara to talk about career transitions, but have come away with so much more than a decision about 'Which job should I choose next?' Tamara has given me a space to really explore what has been holding me back
[more]
Through her wonderful listening and feedback, she has held up a mirror, which has allowed me to see a way forward to a new and exciting phase in the whole of my life, and not just my career. Thank you Tamara , I have really appreciated our sessions together.

She knows exactly which questions to ask to have you find your own path. She is an amazing listener, knowing just when to add her thoughts. She puts you in control of coming up with a plan to get your life back on track. Tamara is extremely genuine and caring. She helped me to remember my strengths and regain my confidence. I would not hesitate recommending her!

Having had a reasonably successful career - two in fact - I came to a crossroads in both my life and career
[more]
I felt that I had reached an unsurmountable impasse and was a little sceptical about how a coach might be able to help me.
Tamara is very adept at understanding the big picture whilst also capturing the very tiny nuances and then skilfully steering me appropriately to seeing things in perspective. In a very short space of time Tamara has helped me to discover a sense of calmness and clarity from within.
I have thoroughly enjoyed our sessions and enjoy reflecting on the nuggets which she introduced at the right time to help me to solve my own problems.
I have no hesitation in recommending Tamara to anybody who is seeking help on their journeys.
