"I came to Anoushka confused about my career. I left our sessions with a completely new direction I hadn't even seen before, one that actually fits me."

​

I’ve been working with Anoushka for a while now, and before Anoushka, I almost didn’t think coaching was for me. But something made me give it a try, and I’m so glad I did. She has this quality that’s hard to put into words. She listens properly. She’s intuitive, warm, and when she needs to challenge you she does it in a way that doesn’t feel like a challenge, it just feels like someone helping you see more clearly.

​

One session really summed her up for me. I arrived in a completely different headspace to what we’d planned; something had happened the day before, which had upset me. She didn’t push through with what we had planned. She adapted and turned the whole session into something that actually helped me process what was going on. That flexibility, that reading of the room, that’s not something you can teach someone and Anoushka got it so right. I came to Anoushka confused about my career. I left our sessions with a completely new direction I hadn’t even seen before, one that actually fits me. She didn’t give me the answer. She helped me find it myself, which was so clever.

 

I’ve already sent a close friend to her, who has had her own breakthroughs. That’s the biggest recommendation I can give. If you’re at a crossroads, or just feel like something needs to shift, I can’t recommend her enough. You’ll be in great hands.

"I now call myself a writer." 

​

Working with Anoushka has been an incredibly positive and genuinely transformative experience for me. She brings such warmth, compassion and passion to her work, but what truly sets her apart is the way she sees the very best in you — often before you are able to see it in yourself. She instinctively finds what works for you and adjusts her coaching style accordingly. She is also very creative in the way she works with me which I as a creative person very much enjoyed. 

​

She has an exceptionally sharp and insightful eye. She is incredibly skilled at gently drawing out the thoughts, feelings and truths that really matter, and helping you identify what genuinely sparks joy, meaning and purpose in your life and she helped guide me towards what already felt deeply true for me, writing. I now call myself a writer. Thank you Anoushka!!!

​

She is also extremely perceptive when it comes to recognising obstacles and patterns that may be holding you back. Rather than glossing over difficult things, she helps you face them in a grounded, constructive and manageable way. At the same time, she is very adaptable and responsive — if something urgent or unexpected comes up, she is able to pivot thoughtfully and helpfully while still keeping sight of the bigger picture.

​

Her balance of compassion and accountability is something I found incredibly valuable, especially as someone with ADHD. She has a wonderful ability to validate and encourage without ever feeling performative or overly “coaching-like.” Instead, she creates a space where you genuinely begin to recognise your own strengths, capabilities and potential with more clarity and confidence.

​

I felt deeply supported, understood and encouraged while working with her, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a coach who is insightful, emotionally intelligent, practical and genuinely invested in helping people thrive. She is a beautiful caring soul.

"I'm now working in a new job and it's probably one of the best jobs of my career (and best paid too)."

​

I highly recommend ⁨Anoushka⁩ as a coach. She dug deep and made me believe in myself again after a pretty tough 2025. I’m now working in a new job and I have to say, it’s probably one of the best jobs of my career (and best paid too) - and that’s partly because I went in confident, recognising my skills and setting a few boundaries at the start. Anoushka has the natural ability to understand people, their insecurities, day to day worries and anxieties. And…the fact that she also works in TV and can empathise (and still stay professional) is so beneficial.

"She has helped me reconnect with my fiery fearless, strongest self."

​

I came to Anoushka as I was feeling at a crossroads. I am 51 and like many women at this age, it can be a strange, disorientating time. You start to question where the next chapter is leading you and if you still feel the same passion for your work, are you getting too ' old', being usurped by bright new talent. There is doubt creeping in and uncertainty about whether your skills are still relevant. I wanted to try and get clarity on what my skills were, what I had to offer and where I should best channel my energies as I felt I was shooting out in too many directions.

​

Anoushka really helped me distil what was important to me: my values, my priorities in life. She helped me see afresh what my strengths really were and what I had achieved in my work life. She has helped me reconnect with my fiery fearless, strongest self and appreciate what I have to offer and sometimes recognising that the areas which give me most joy are not what I thought they were!

​

Anoushka is a wonderful coach: truly present, curious, empathetic, fun, encouraging, insightful. Unlike a counsellor, she keeps us focussed on the task in hand, of trying to clarify, distil and work out values, aims, and goals. She won't let you wander off on tangents. It's action focussed, but she does this with a clarity of thought and such a sense of fun. She has wonderful energy. 

​

Some coaches can feel aloof, it can feel transactional. Anoushka feels more like a friend, quickly, like someone who has known you a long time and gets all your fears and flaws, but sees all your skills and talents with a bright clarity and is championing you from the sidelines.

​

I would highly recommend her.

"Everyone should have coaching!" 

​

Everyone should have coaching! I started coaching sessions because I was going through a period of change at work, and Anoushka has not only helped me with my confidence during this time, but has provided me with tools to boost my profile at work and cope with all manner of challenges. I'd highly recommend coaching sessions with Anoushka, her gentle and encouraging manner leads you to truly realise your potential!

"She comes to every session ready to adapt to the version of me that shows up on that day."

​

I came to coaching feeling at a bit of a crossroads. I had been thinking about exploring what it would be like to consider other options in my career, but I didn't really know where to start, or even what was important to me and what I was looking for. I think a lack of self-belief had also been holding me back from making changes and exploring new possibilities and so I was interested to see what coaching could do for me.

​

I think coaching has helped me focus on what my values are. It’s strange that you can go through life without really knowing what your values are, but once I started talking them through, I found myself coming back to them again and again. They've given me a much stronger sense of my purpose and what is important to me.

​

I've also found that coaching has helped me deal with some of the things I unconsciously do that hold me back. Anoushka’s methods have helped me visualise and put a name to certain behaviours and patterns, which has in turn helped me address them and find ways of coping with them. Coaching has also started me on the process of talking to myself with more kindness and, in a way, becoming my own coach, so that I can carry on our work outside the sessions.

​

I would very happily recommend Anoushka. I feel that she comes to every session ready to adapt to the version of me that shows up on that day, rather than trying to apply any kind of one-size-fits-all approach. She is genuine and empathetic and creates space for me to really articulate myself. She picks up on things I say and makes me feel truly understood, giving me the right amount of push to help me find my own solutions.

​

Anoushka is encouraging and creates a safe, exploratory environment where I feel I have made real progress. I would particularly recommend Anoushka to anyone looking to better understand their purpose and values, in an effort to start answering big questions such as ‘what am I doing with my life’?! One of the biggest changes for me has been understanding some of the underlying patterns that were limiting my confidence and growth. Being able to recognise them and identify practical ways to overcome them has helped me respond to them differently and look to the future with less anxiety and more confidence.

"I loved how she combined meditation, self-reflection, and forward-thinking with actionable takeaways to keep me on the right path."

​

I can't recommend Anoushka highly enough. Her positive energy and unique spin on the conversations we had always left me feeling refreshed and able to move forward with concrete learnings. I loved how she combined meditation, self-reflection, and forward-thinking with actionable takeaways to keep me on the right path. If you need any help/advice with your career or your life, Anoushka is well worth picking up the phone for.

"We don't meet every week but the sessions we do have stay with me every week."

​

I kind of fell into coaching and signed up for an initial six weeks, but then found I wanted to keep going! We don't meet every week but the sessions we do have stay with me every week. Each week is different and we explore different things, but there is usually something to link them and always something to take away. Since I started with Anoushka, I have been able to view things through a different lens and she has helped me work out what is important to me and why, as well as help me identify the obstacles that have been holding me back and work out a way to move past them. The journey has been emotional, but rewarding, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Anoushka. 

​

Anoushka in herself is very personable and warm and teases out the things that matter most to you in life. It has been a very rewarding experience.

"I've significantly improved my confidence in certain areas and have also learned to be much kinder to myself."

​

I cannot recommend Anoushka highly enough. She is a wonderful coach with an incredible ability to create a safe, supportive space where you feel comfortable opening up and exploring what really matters to you. At the same time, she gently challenges you to uncover your own answers and insights. Anoushka is an exceptional listener who always asks thoughtful, powerful questions that help you gain clarity and reach your own conclusions, whatever topic you're working through.

​

I came to coaching as I am beginning to consider a career pivot and am always looking for opportunities to do some self-development and make positive changes in my life. Through my sessions with Anoushka, I've significantly improved my confidence in certain areas and have also learned to be much kinder to myself and much more!

​

Anoushka is hugely skilled at coaching across a wide range of topics and I have no doubt she will go on to have a hugely successful coaching career. Anyone would be lucky to work with her.
