Hi, I am Emma. (and this is Ziggy)

I help change makers driven by purpose to think, feel and act differently in order to accelerate their impact.

My Story.

Back in 2017 I was really struggling. I wasn’t depressed but I wasn’t in a good spot. I was questioning everything I was doing, the decisions I was making, the way I was behaving (at work and in my personal life) and I was stuck in my head, beating myself up, ALL THE TIME. I would overthink things to the point of anxiety attacks. I hated myself. I knew something had to change but I didn’t know what.

I then discovered Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and the world of developmental coaching and everything changed, literally overnight. I learnt how my brain worked (how are we not taught this in school?!) and how to control my thoughts. I learnt how to approach things from a different perspective and how to stop overthinking. I learnt how to change my patterns of behaviour, which I used to believe was an inherent and unchangeable part of me. I managed to get out of my head, stopped beating myself up and back to enjoying life.

Having experienced this for myself first hand and knowing that I wanted more purpose in my work, I knew I had to help other people who are a force for good to achieve the same thing. This is what led to the genesis of Emma Collett Coaching.

What my clients say about me…

"I spoke to Emma having come to a crossroads in my career in medicine; I really valued her approach to our session. Emma wanted to understand the emotions and thought processes driving my indecision; and helped me address unhelpful thinking patterns. By the end of our session I felt able to move forwards with my decision making. I would definitely recommend Emma."

Natalia, Doctor
"Through coaching with Emma I became aware of blind spots in my leadership skills that were holding me back. The insightful tooling she uses brings attention to where there are opportunities to leverage behavioural change which has meant I have become a more confident and effective leader. Being in a senior leadership role often means I do not get the feedback I need and I certainly got this through coaching with Emma."

Catherine, CEO, B-Corp
"Signing up for coaching with Emma feels like one of those serendipitous moments that I’ll be forever grateful for. Before starting, I was feeling stuck at work, an uneasy sense that I had so much more to give but unsure how to unlock my potential or move forward with my career. Through her open, yet incisive questions, we were able to identify repeat patterns, build a tool kit of exercises to understand them, and ultimately identify the root causes that were holding me back. I really appreciated Emma’s calm demeanor, ability to guide me without leading me, and a never-ending bag of exercises, books and podcasts to try. Through these sessions I learnt to challenge myself, take control of my growth and ultimately find the new opportunity in my current business that I was looking for."

Ben, Product, B-Corp
“Emma’s skilled approach to coaching offers a contrast to prior conversations, driving deeper reflection and insight. Her attentiveness and incisive questioning is provocative, resulting in genuine reappraisal and transformation.”

Chris, Director of Sales
"Emma’s approach to coaching is really quite incredible. I found her methodology highly impactful. As opposed to zeroing in on isolated goals, Emma supports clients to evolve underlying beliefs which drive behaviour; thus allowing her clients to more readily achieve their goals by proxy. Emma has a non-judgemental, open and supportive manner which – coupled with the robust methodology she applies – makes her very effective."

Sophie, Head of Portfolio Management
“I had the pleasure of being coached by Emma. She has a wonderful ability to ask great questions that allow you to enquire within. She offered me perspectives that I couldn’t necessarily see myself. I can highly recommend Emma as a coach. She has facilitated some pivotal moments for me with her comfortable coaching style and she is very easy to speak to.”

Tine, National HR Manager
“Emma creates an open, trusting environment, making it easy to bring up any topic. Her style allows you to go beyond the area of development itself and right into the thought patterns which lie beneath, which has been transformative. Emma asks thought provoking questions which help me understand my motivations and blockers and access new perspectives.”

Elle, Group Program Manager
“Emma’s coaching was immediately effective for me and my business. Her thoughtful questions help me work through business problems, which I implement right after our sessions. She has helped me gain a new perspective on the root causes of my challenges and has been highly valuable in setting my long-term goals.”

Matthew, Founder
"Emma creates a warm space for genuine self-enquiry, not like I have experienced before. Emma has the unique skills of balancing when to give her clients the space to unfold, and when to press into what she can see is holding them back. I greatly appreciate the time I have spent with Emma on my personal and professional development."

Jared, Regional Manager
"Emma creates a safe environment which encourages honesty and a willingness to examine yourself critically without fear. The impressive speed at which Emma helped me to uncover the beliefs which drive my behaviours made our time together incredibly productive from the get-go and her skilful coaching methods have equipped me with practical tools to improve my confidence and effectiveness as a leader."
