1:1 coaching for individuals

Aimee Woodley, professional transformative coach, smiling warmly in a coaching environment

Hi I’m Aimee, an EMCC accredited coach with over 25 years’ experience across leadership, learning and development, and coaching.

I work with people who want more from their career and life but feel a bit stuck on the how. Maybe your confidence has taken a knock. Maybe you’re questioning the path you’re on. Or maybe you know change is needed, but the next step feels unclear.

That’s where coaching can be helpful. Many of my private clients are senior professionals who want space to think clearly about confidence, leadership, direction and change.

Through a non-directive and neuro-inclusive approach, I create space for you to pause, reflect, and explore what really matters. Coaching with me isn’t about being told what to do. It’s about uncovering your own insights, building confidence, and moving forward in a way that feels authentic and sustainable.

If you are considering coaching you’re welcome to book a free 30 minute discovery session where we can chat about what you’re looking to achieve, any hurdles you’re facing, and how I can help.

Who I work with

Many of the individuals I work with are senior professionals navigating leadership, career transitions, confidence, or complex decisions. Others come to coaching at moments of change — when something isn’t quite working and they want space to think clearly about what comes next.

My role isn’t to provide answers, but to help you explore the situation, challenge assumptions, and find your own direction. My pricing is the same for everyone, because wherever you’re at, you deserve the chance to explore your potential.

How we’ll work together

Coaching with me is a partnership. I provide a supportive, non-judgemental space where your voice is heard, your values are respected, and your goals stay at the centre of the work.

Through reflection and open dialogue, you’ll uncover your own answers and create lasting change.

FAQS

  • Coaching is a process designed to empower you to find your own answers, encouraging personal development and self-discovery. A coach supports you in setting goals and creating strategies for achieving them. Mentoring, on the other hand, involves a more experienced individual guiding you, sharing knowledge, and offering advice based on their own experiences.

  • I’m based in Windsor, Berkshire, and yes, I offer online sessions via Microsoft Teams. This setup provides a flexible and convenient connection, no matter your location, ensuring our sessions fit seamlessly into your busy schedule. For local businesses, I’m also available for in-person coaching, bringing transformative growth directly to your doorstep.

  • The duration of our coaching relationship can vary depending on your individual needs and goals. Some clients achieve their objectives in one session, while others may choose to continue for a longer period of time. I have found anywhere between 4 and 6 sessions is most beneficial. We can discuss what works best for you during our initial discovery session.

  • The ideal frequency of coaching sessions varies, but here’s a general guide:

    Weekly: Starting out with weekly sessions can help establish a strong foundation and quick progress.

    Bi-weekly or Monthly: As you start achieving your goals, meeting every two or three weeks can be effective for ongoing support and accountability.

    As Needed: Once you’re on track, you might only need sessions occasionally, like once a month, to maintain your achievements and keep the momentum going.

    Remember, the best schedule is one that fits your unique needs and the pace at which you’re comfortable growing

  • The amount of work involved will depend on what you’re looking to achieve. It’s a collaborative effort that requires commitment and action on your part, supported by the guidance and accountability I provide.

  • I bring a special mix of empathy and encouragement to the table. It’s not just about listening; it’s about supporting you to uncover your own answers and potential. My approach is customised for you, ensuring the changes we make are positive and genuinely lasting. It’s personal, it’s impactful, and it’s all about sustainable growth.

  • Absolutely! Discovery sessions are your chance to dip your toes into the coaching waters. We’ll chat about what you’re looking to achieve, any hurdles you’re facing, and how I can help. It’s a free, no-commitment chat to see if we click and if my coaching style suits your journey.

  • Confidentiality is paramount in transformative coaching. I prioritise client privacy, creating a safe space for open exploration. Measures include a confidentiality agreement, adherence to ethical guidelines, and secure communication channels. All client information, including personal stories, goals, and progress, remains strictly confidential. While exceptions exist (such as legal obligations or imminent harm), I take data security seriously. Clients can trust that their information is secure, and I encourage open communication. Confidentiality is the cornerstone of my coaching practice, allowing clients to grow with confidence.

  • “The overall impact of coaching has been quite profound, not only as an individual but also in improving my relationships at home and work. I feel more self-aware and empowered, and better equipped to navigate complex situations and create positive relationships…I've found it to be deeply enlightening and markedly different from my past therapy sessions. Instead of depending on someone else for answers, it's been all about self-discovery.”

    LEANNE

  • “Aimee's coaching sessions were fantastic - over the course of the 4 sessions my confidence in communicating improved significantly, and I learnt so much about myself! Aimee's friendly approach made it easy to talk openly during the sessions. I'd highly recommend the sessions to anyone who is hoping to develop their confidence in public speaking, or any other area! “

    SARA

  • “I thoroughly enjoyed my coaching sessions with Aimee. Through her attentive listening and the intuitive questions that she asked, I was able to process my thoughts better and explore my goals in more depth. I gained increased clarity and insight into my blockers and developed ways in which I could move forward. The whole coaching process has helped me feel more empowered to keep reaching my goals as I move forward. I highly recommend Aimee if you are serious about self-exploration and personal development.”

    DAISY

  • “My coaching experience with Aimee was insightful, powerful and at a time when I welcomed the time and space to really think. Aimee beautifully created a thinking space supported by her warm connection, thought-provoking questions and natural observations. I would highly recommend Aimee if you are after a coach who provides you a space to feel heard, offers what they notice and is confident to work in partnership with you on your journey.”


    MESHALI

  • “My time with Aimee was invaluable and a little oasis in my hectic week. It gave me some real moments of calm and clear reflection, it has helped me identify and build on relationships I need to make my role successful.”

    KATE

  • “Aimee was brilliant and always made me feel very comfortable and helped me figure things out by myself rather than just telling me what I need to hear. The coaching has provided me with methods to be able to deal with different situations and how to look at things from other people's perspectives. It has pushed me towards actioning my frustrations in a positive manor rather that to just let them consume me and do nothing about it.”
