How Do You Know If Coaching Is a Good Fit For You?
- You're already in a place where you are keen to dive in and explore what more there is inside of you and all the possibilities that exist for you.
- You believe that you can change and create change for yourself. Maybe you just don't quite know how or what that looks like right now, but you are super curious to uncover your potential!
- You're willing to turn inwards, be vulnerable, sit with discomfort, and to have a go (even when it sucks) because you know this is what it takes to be a truer, wiser version of yourself in this world.
- You're invested in your own growth and committed to showing up and putting in the effort.

"When I first met Hayley, I was very lonely. I had limited confidence and no self-esteem or self-belief. I didn't feel worthy of others time, effort, help or love. But with Hayley's help, I began to feel differently about myself. I discovered I could do the things I was scared of, and I was likeable. I joined groups and did different activities and had fun while being my true self... Happy Dance and all!
I think the biggest thing I've learned is to trust, both myself and others. I have belief in myself now. I can act with grace and love to myself as well as those around me. I have been able to develop friendships with new people. My message to other people is to be your own authentic self, quiet or otherwise, we're all worthy of love time and attention."

Hayley Stanton
Hi, I’m Hayley. I was the quiet one. The one that didn’t speak. Red-faced. Freezing when spoken to. Going sick to avoid presentations. Running away from speaking to guys or, well, anyone really. Using alcohol to help me socialise. I didn’t go to Uni because I was too afraid I wouldn’t make friends and couldn’t cope with presentations. Or grocery shopping. Instead, I sabotaged my job applications to avoid getting an interview and ended up in the Emergency Department with a suicide attempt at 19. I wish I had someone to show me that I wasn’t broken and that I had the courage I needed to speak up and be seen.
Now I’m an NLP Practitioner, a Certified mBIT Coach and a Blue Health Coach, with an ILM Award in Coaching, Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training and a Degree in Health and I even speak in public. I’m purposeful about using my personal experiences and professional knowledge and skills to help you to feel more calm and confident so you can speak up when you need to, join the social group you want to, make new friends and go on dates without the panic, get the grades that you deserve, and… actually enjoy talking with people!

Stacie Clark
Hello! I’m Stacie. I was the girl who awkwardly blurted out half-formed sentences. Pretended to not know much – about a lot of things! Would go on a date to sit in silence. And nervously laughed to hide the fear of speaking. I dropped an A-Level so I wouldn’t have to do presentations. Spent 3 years ditching Uni applications because I’d have to live in halls (I got there eventually… not living in halls!). I couldn’t get a job in McDonalds and left jobs I did get because I felt too anxious. If only I knew back then what I know now… I would have seen that I was more capable than I ever thought I was.
Now I’m a qualified NLP Coach, passionate about helping people express their truest self and creating environments that encourage gentle participation so that those who are quieter, shy and struggle to speak up, can thrive, fulfil their potential, and achieve all that they want to and all they are capable of! I have a background in art and design, so naturally, I love bringing elements of these practises into the way in which I support people; mixing arts and crafts with coaching techniques to help with speaking clearly, confidently and calmly.

Vicky Otter
Vicky’s personal wellbeing journey began with a belief that she just wasn’t good enough. This drove her to keep working harder and being nicer in order to gain the approval she thought she needed from others to feel good enough. Eventually, Vicky saw that she was already complete and whole; she didn’t need fixing –and just because she thought something didn’t make it true. Vicky trained as a coach whilst working as a teacher and began using coaching with children in her classes to draw out the potential within them, helping them to see that they already have the confidence and resilience they need inside of them. Vicky offers coaching for children and adults and brings people together for confidence and resilience courses in nature settings.

I love helping people to feel more confident in themselves and I’m looking forward to helping you feel good too.
