About Me

Hi, I'm Elena. I hold an Accredited Diploma in Transformative Coaching with Animas Centre for Coaching and current trainee coaching psychologist for a Masters in Coaching Psychology. I have a background in psychology and over 20 years of experience as a researcher and academic. My coaching focuses on helping people navigate life transitions and stress. I also support clients in building academic confidence, shifting limiting beliefs, and developing more confidence in social situations.

Having lived abroad and having connected with people from many different countries and cultures, I value the richness of different perspectives and ways of thinking. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and ways of processing or engaging with the world, and aim to create a space where people feel understood and supported.

My coaching style blends deep listening with intuitive insight, value-driven exploration, and an action-focused approach that helps you shift perspective and the opportunity to move forward with intention. I offer a calm, non-judgmental space to explore what’s really getting in the way and how you want to move forward - on your terms.

Specialism

I work with people who are feeling worn out, going through changes they’re finding hard to navigate. I also support those struggling with confidence - whether socially, academically, or in day-to-day life.
