Work with me

Get unstuck, move forwards and fully be you.

Introducing… Fully Be You

One-to-one wellbeing coaching

What’s involved?

  • Ease your busy mind using evidence-based approaches to untangling your thoughts.

  • Discover new perspectives and possibilities that will move you through the changes you seek. I have a lot of experience dealing with change in my life, health and career. It IS possible to work AND play and for neither to be hard.

  • Apply structured and helpful thinking to the issues you wish to address, in a non-judgmental space. You don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. I’m here rooting for you every step of the way.

  • Start trusting yourself and the decisions you make. Practice behaviours and techniques that get your mind working FOR you instead of adding to the overwhelm.

I do this work today to be the person I wish I had access to as a lost, young professional. Someone who can help sift the noise from what’s real and enable clearer thinking when everything feels overwhelming.

Dr Helena Bridge

To have someone in my corner who could be a sounding board for my truthful thoughts (and understands them completely). I wanted a judgement free space away from medicine and my job to talk about it so this was a really perfect fit.

 FAQs

  • I currently only deliver online coaching. However, if you live near Surrey, UK, then in person is certainly possible. Contact me and we can chat.

  • I genuinely love this question because it’s one I used to ask myself a lot.

    I can help you BECAUSE I left my medical career. I am outside of the chaotic environment medics are often in. I have the headspace and distance to show you different perspectives.

    I put my energy into working with you and for you, not as your peer.

    I’m not here to tell you how to do your job. I am here to listen, ask questions and help you use your powerful brain to move yourself forwards in the area of life that’s feeling stuck.

    I can empathise. I have experienced working in healthcare. I have also been through times of extreme stress, huge change and feeling truly burnt out.

    No person’s story is the same and we all see life through a different lens of our experiences, beliefs and how our brains are wired.

    I look forward to putting you in the spotlight and walking alongside you on your journey to fully being you.

    I have CHOSEN to work with medics because I want to do what I can to lift up the lives of people saving others. Consider me a doctor’s advocate.

  • Currently there are no CPD (continuing professional development) points available for this coaching. This is time exclusively for you, with no input from any employers or educational supervisors.

  • This is a common question and understandably. There are many overlaps between the two. You may benefit from both, or one or the other.

    Ultimately it’s a personal decision, but if you’re unwell with a diagnosable condition, such as anxiety or depression, then seeking professional medical input is always preferable. If you’re not sure, we can discuss this more on a discovery call.

    You can read more in the “What is coaching” section.

  • I am a certified health and well-being coach, by Wellcoaches School of Coaching.

    I am a member of the International Coaching Federation, which means I will gain more credentials the more experience and ongoing training I do.

    I qualified with a Bachelor of Medicine (BM) * from The University of Southampton medical school in 2009. (I qualified as Emily Smith, my maiden name).

    I am also a certified teacher of English language to Adults (CELTA)

    *My GMC (General Medical Council) number is 6149930. You’ll see if you look me up that I am no longer on the register. Once I had not worked in clinical medicine for two years I decided I didn’t need or want to continue to pay fees to stay on the register.

  • Absolutely!

    If any of what you have read here resonates with you, please do get in touch and we can work out if I’m a good fit for you.

    As a coach, I am trained to work with anyone ready to make changes to any aspect of their life - career, relationships, lifestyle behaviours, so that they can thrive.

    Please do reach out and let’s talk.

  • Unfortunately there is currently no automated payment plan (but it’s coming!).

    However, if you decide to go ahead and work with me, we can certainly figure something out that works.

  • Yes!

    Medical students get a 15 % reduced rate on any of my coaching packages.

    Also, if you’ve already worked with me in my 3-month package, you get…

    • 30% off a Soothe and Sort It session

    • 15% off all future coaching packages with me

  • Choosing a coach is a personal decision. This is why I offer a free discovery call, so we can both get a sense of whether we would work well together.

    I have experienced the pressures of training and working as a doctor. It’s what drives me to work with doctors and other care-giving professionals.

    I left my medical career in 2009, which means I have a whole different perspective on life, outside of the complex medical world.

    I have lived in three countries and therefore been through big change in my life. I continue to learn from different cultures and diverse communities, and this really enhances my experience of the world, which I am obsessed with sharing with those who it can help.

    I am a mother, and becoming a parent has been and continues to be a huge journey in personal development.

    Most of all, coaching is what truly lights me up. It is where I feel most content and alive. And therefore, where you can benefit from all the energy, passion and positivity that I bring to each session.

    I have a deep desire to bring life-changing practical psychological tools to life-savers like you, so you can thrive.
