HAVING SPACE TO THINK
In schools, the pace is often relentless. Between teaching, leading, supporting others and trying to stay on top of everything else, the chance to pause can feel like a luxury you simply don’t have time for. But, space to think isn’t a luxury - it’s essential.
YOU’RE HOLDING A LOT
If you work in education, you’ll know what it means to carry a full load, not just of tasks and responsibilities, but of people. You hold space for children, for colleagues, for parents. You keep things running. You show up, even on the days when you're running on empty.
It’s meaningful work. But it can also be exhausting. And somewhere along the way, your own needs, hopes or questions can quietly slip to the bottom of the list.
That’s where coaching comes in.
COACHING OFFERS SOMETHING RARE
It’s a space that’s just for you.
A space to say things out loud, without judgement, without interruption, and without pressure to have it all figured out.
It’s a chance to take a step back, to breathe, and to look at things with fresh eyes. Coaching can help you make sense of where you are, reconnect with what matters, and start moving forward with greater clarity and confidence.
IT’S NOT ABOUT FIXING – IT’S ABOUT THINKING
The school staff I work with come to coaching for all sorts of reasons:
Feeling stuck or unsure of what’s next
Preparing for interviews or new roles
Wanting to lead with more confidence
Navigating workload and boundaries
Seeking a sense of purpose or perspective
Feeling ready for change, but unsure where to start
Coaching isn’t about telling you what to do. It’s about creating a space where your own insights can surface. Often, it’s in the quiet moments of reflection that clarity begins to emerge.
IT’S OKAY TO WANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT
In schools, there can be pressure to just “get on with it.”
But wanting change, clarity or space doesn’t make you less committed — it means you care.
Coaching can be a way to take that care seriously, for yourself, as well as others.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO IT ALL ALONE
You don’t have to figure it out alone.
Coaching provides a confidential space to think things through with someone who understands.
CURIOUS? LET’S TALK.
