Heather Lindley

I offer coaching sessions in-person in Harrogate, or online via Teams. I am available most weekdays and in the evenings.

I charge £60 for individual online sessions and £75 for in-person sessions.

Do you have a problem, challenge, aspiration you want to work on?

Maybe you want to reduce your stress and anxiety, improve relationships, navigate parenting, develop positive habits or make the most of your second half of life......

My sessions are about insight, action and change, with a core purpose of closing the gap between how things currently are, and where you want to be. When we work together, we will aim for small intentional steps towards your goals, alongside personal development and understanding. A journey of self-discovery, empowerment and change.

I am an experienced counsellor and transformative coach, with a passion for helping you live the life you want.

Insight + Action = Change

On our journey, I combine our sessions with a range of tailored resources and activities, that can be accessed at your convenience beyond the confines of the sessions.

"Unless you believe the future can be better, you are unlikely to step up and take responsibility for making it so" Noam Chomsky

No matter where you are now, small changes make huge differences over time. Do get in touch if you feel my approach and way of working could align with your needs.

What I am:

- Experienced and Knowledgeable: with a rich background in coaching and counselling, my expertise is built on years of working for different organisations and supporting adults, young people and children feeling stuck, and held back through thoughts, emotions, insecurities, or unhealthy patterns. I have worked for a variety of organisations and charities over the last 20+ years since qualifying as a counsellor and coach, including Childline, Relate, JustB, Place2Be, Flourished Minds, The Harlow Therapy and Coaching, Axa Health.

- Scientifically Grounded: My sessions incorporate evidence-based techniques, psychological theories and research backed strategies to ensure effectiveness. 

- Practical and Action-Orientated: both during and between sessions, there will be a strong focus on actions and taking small steps towards your goals and self-discovery. 

I will send you tailored interactive exercises and/or educational content to help you manage symptoms and understand yourself better.

What I am not:

- A Quick-fix Provider; My coaching approach is rooted in the belief that meaningful and lasting change takes time and effort. Think sustainable strategies and personal development.

- A Passive Listener: My role is to listen actively, provide feedback, challenge where needed and work alongside you towards actionable small steps.

- All about the theory - my coaching is not just about theoretical knowledge. It is a blend of coaching, CBT, Transactional analysis, solution focused therapy, psychological theory and real-world knowledge and experience gained from 20+ years in the industry. Sessions draw on my counselling background, but through a lens of coaching.

- A magician: I am a coach, not a miracle worker. I offer support, guidance and tools, but the true transformation and change comes from your efforts. 

I offer a free initial 20 minute consultation, to assess compatibility and to determine if my coaching approach aligns with your needs.

Please do get in touch if you have any questions, I would love to hear from you.
