A little about me
Hi, I’m Ella.
I know what it’s like to lose your footing.
I’m Ella Whitley, a life coach who works alongside people as they find their next chapter. My own experience of a major work and life change showed me the difference thoughtful coaching can make to how you see yourself.
My story
A change I didn’t choose.
A new way forward.
While I was on maternity leave, I was made redundant. Like most people, I buried my head in the sand, told everyone I was fine and tried to ignore the problem.
A few months later, I was surprised by how much of my identity and confidence I had lost. Starting a new job and returning to work felt daunting. Rather than seeing how I’d developed as a new mother, I was questioning my capability and value.
Through coaching, I was able to rebuild my confidence, articulate what I wanted and recognise what I had to offer.
My personal experience is why I want to offer others the same opportunity. I create a safe space where you can pause, take stock of what matters to you and explore what might come next.
How I see it
You are more than
the chapter you’re in.
Coaching isn’t about being handed a perfect plan. It’s a thoughtful conversation that makes room for your own perspective, strengths and next steps.
Working With MeA client’s perspective
I always come away from our sessions with more clarity and a different perspective on whatever I’ve brought to the conversation.
