About Me

Hello! I’m Sophie. I’m currently completing an ICF-aligned training programme in transformative coaching and am offering free coaching sessions as part of my practice.

I’m particularly interested in conversations where there isn’t necessarily an obvious answer — perhaps you’re facing a decision, considering a change, feeling stuck between different possibilities, or have something you’ve been thinking about for a while without getting anywhere with it.

My coaching style is curious, thoughtful and conversational. I won’t tell you what I think you should do or rush you towards a solution. Instead, I aim to create a space where we can explore what is going on, look at different perspectives, and see what becomes clearer through the conversation.

At this stage of my training, I’m deliberately keeping my practice relatively broad rather than defining a narrow niche. I’m interested in working with different people and topics while developing my coaching practice.

I offer a free 10–15 minute introductory call so we can meet, briefly discuss what you would like to explore, and see whether working together feels like a good fit. If we decide to continue, I offer three free online coaching sessions of around 45–60 minutes each.

As part of my training, I may occasionally ask for your consent to record a session in audio for mentoring or assessment purposes. Recording would always be discussed and agreed in advance.

Sessions are available in English and Mandarin Chinese.

Specialism

The approach I’m training in is exploratory and transformative. This means we can work with the immediate question you bring while also being curious about the assumptions, perspectives or patterns that may be shaping how you see it.

You might find our conversations useful if you are facing a decision and going around in circles, considering a change in work or life, feeling stuck without quite knowing why, choosing between several possibilities, questioning what you want next, or simply wanting an impartial space to think something through without being given advice.

You do not need to arrive with a perfectly defined goal. Part of our first conversation can be exploring what is actually going on and what would be useful for you.

Sometimes coaching may lead to greater clarity about what you want to do. At other times, the useful shift may be seeing the situation differently, noticing an assumption you had not questioned before, or understanding more clearly what matters to you.

The conversation is led by you. My role is to listen, ask questions, reflect what I notice and create space for you to think.
