Welcome…I’m Emma
I support individuals and organisations to stay resilient – whether it is establishing healthier working practices, finding balance, or managing everyday stresses – I can help.
If you work, lead or volunteer in a nonprofit organisation my practical evidence-based coaching and workshop programmes will help you and your team to continue to make a difference for those that matter, including you.
10 minutes or less
My weekly podcast is full of bitesize tools and ideas to help your well-being to flourish. Topics are varied, podcasts are short, and results are…well you tell me.
Why work with me?
I recognise the challenges that those working in nonprofits face —heavy workloads, high pressure, burnout, talent retention and increased uncertainty, to name a few. I also understand the toll that these can have on people’s well-being. The evidence shows that when well-being goes down the costs (financial, physical and emotional) to the individual and the organisation go up.
Prioritising well-being in the workplace and beyond, and creating the environment for it to flourish is crucial but far from easy. There isn’t a one size fits all approach. The needs and solutions at an organisational level are distinct from those within teams, and very different from what each individual requires. My job is to work with you to help you identify what is important, explore what is getting in the way, create workable solutions and implement changes successfully at an individual, team or organisational level.

What is coaching all about?
Coaching is based on positive psychology which is a branch of psychology that focuses on optimising a person’s potential and well-being. Rather than concentrating on problems, coaching takes a solution-focused approach, which means working with the individual’s strengths and resources to reach and achieve the outcomes they want…
