About Me

Hello, I'm Philippa. I'm an approachable Accredited Transformative Coach. The whole of you is welcome at my coaching practice, Wyndham House Coaching. You will find a calm, empathetic, focused and engaged space in which we can partner to shape the future you want.

I work with people to overcome their current challenges and create powerful presents and fulfilling futures. People come to me to increase their confidence, navigate life changes, positively impact their sense of balance, purpose, and fulfillment, and enhance their careers. I also work with executives on leadership challenges, their effectiveness, presence and values based leadership. I can add value drawing on my career in the charity sector, where I held Board and senior leadership roles, and my commercial experience of running my own consultancy and training business.

Location isn't an issue as I coach people over Zoom as well as in person.

My style is calm, reflective, constructively challenging (we can talk about how much challenge you are looking for!), empathetic, positive, approachable, warm and without judgement. If we decide to work together I will create with you a partnership in which we will open up plenty of space for us to explore what is important to you and how you can achieve that and thrive.

I am offering two free sessions. In the first one we will explore what's brought you to coaching and what you are looking for and how we might work together, then have a coaching conversation. In total the first session will last an hour. If you want to have a second free session, that can also be an hour and will be entirely a coaching conversation. Should you wish to continue working together after that, I offer reasonable rates. If we agree to continue the coaching relationship beyond the free sessions we will make a contractual agreement.

Specialism

You might be craving balance but struggling to make space or time for yourself.

You might be at a cross roads in your career or in life in general.

You might be feeling stuck, or seeking more fulfillment and purpose in your life, and unsure how to achieve that.

Or you might have a sense of what you want but doubt your ability or right to get there. Maybe the gremlins are holding you back, telling you that you "should" be doing X or Y, or that you're not "good enough", and you don't want them to have power over you?

Perhaps you have been thrown a curve ball by life and are wondering about your purpose now and what’s next?

Perhaps life events have thrown up some confusion for you - and may have opened up some insecurities or self doubt?

Perhaps you’re wondering in mid-life where “you” went to, and who you are now?

I have transitioned career through an unexpected redundancy in mid-life into a life with renewed purpose which now gives me pleasure and balance. It’s easier to write that than it was to live it so if that resonates with you, you are not alone.

From personal and professional experience, I appreciate what's involved in confronting the unexpected, navigating uncertainty, reviewing and resetting; and the range of thoughts and feelings which can be at play. That gives me lived experience, but I won’t be making assumptions; I’m curious about your thoughts, feelings, fears and dreams and the work we can do together when we create space for you.
