Mentoring for New and Aspiring Coaches
You don't have to figure it all out alone

You've said yes to becoming a coach because you care deeply, because you're a natural at holding space and because you want to help others thrive. But what no one told you?

Becoming a great coach is about so much more than completing a course! Every coaching client is unique, bringing their own stories, patterns, and challenges. This means each session invites you, the coach, into new terrain, with fresh opportunities to learn. It's about navigating REAL conversations with real clients, managing self-doubt and building confidence!

Why Having a Mentor Matters

When you're learning or newly qualified, it's easy to feel:

Like an impostor when you're not sure you're 'doing it right'

 

Overwhelmed trying to put your knowledge into practice

​

Alone in the grey zones where coaching isn't so black-and-white

Unsure how to handle tricky client dynamics, unexpected emotions and navigating trauma

​

Disconnected from your own nervous system as you try to support others

​

Mentoring gives you:


A grounded, experienced guide to help you reflect and grow

A safe place to explore what is coming up for you as a practitioner

Practical support with client cases, confidence, ethics and more!

Someone to cheer you on and challenge you

A reminder that your way is valid, even if it looks different from others

The opportunity to define your niche in a way that feels authentic and aligned

Who This Is For

The mentoring space is for you if:

You're studying and want to feel more confident offering practice sessions

You've graduated in the past two years and are finding your footing

You want to go deeper into embodied coaching 

You crave guidance from someone who's walked the path

You're navigating things like boundaries, money, visibility or burnout

Let's Build Your Confidence - Your Way

Your Mentor

I bring experience as a mentor in both the corporate world—supporting young professionals stepping into the workplace straight out of university—and in the coaching space, guiding new and aspiring coaches as they find their footing. I believe mentoring is deeply personal and shaped by your current stage, challenges, and goals. It’s not just about skill-building—it’s about being supported, seen, and reminded that you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Mentoring can be the difference between self-doubt and steady growth, and it's a powerful way to set yourself up for success with clarity and confidence.
