Life Coaching
Life Coaching
I trained with Barefoot Coaching, completing a professional qualification in Personal and
Business Coaching. I am a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF).
Coaching has been a deeply transformative journey for me - not only in how I work with
others but also in how I have grown as a person. It has reshaped the way I think, listen,
and be. Allowing me to hold space where clients can think freely, gain clarity, and discover
their own solutions in a completely safe environment.
My work is rooted in the ICF core framework and underpinned by the highest standards of
confidentiality and ethics. My coaching approach is both structured and intuitive, blending
the rigour of ICF-accredited methods with a deep respect for each client's individuality.
I help people uncover their values, challenge limiting beliefs, and create practical
achievable steps towards their goals - whether supporting personal change, professional
growth, or the integration of both. My role is to act as a catalyst for clartiy, confidence,
and meaningful action.
Coaching in Motion
In addition to traditional coaching sessions via Zoom or in person, I also offer Coaching in
Motion - a transformative approach that blends movement, somactic awareness, and dynamic
energy into the coaching process.
Coaching in Motion goes beyond static conversation to create a space where clients can
connect with their body's wisdom, unlock new insights, and anchor change in a deeply
embodied way. It recognises that the body often speaks before the mind does - and when we
move with intention, we access deeper layers of clarity and release.
Core Pillars
Embodied Presence - Learning to notice and trust what the body is communicating in
each moment.
Somatic Listening - Attuning not just to words, but to breath, posture, and physical
sensation.
Motion as Catalyst - Using intentional movement to surface insights and shift
patterns.
Energy Flow - Working with the natural rhythms and resonance of the body to restore
balance.
Awareness, Integration, and Anchoring - Transforming emotional or physical insight
into lasting embodied resources.
Creative Expansion - Exploring new possibilities through movement, expression, and
imaginative play.
Mentoring
Alongside my coaching practice, I also offer mentoring - a space for deeper guidance shaped
by lived experience and professional insight.
Where coaching helps you find your own answers, mentoring allows me to share reflections,
tools, and wisdom drawn from decades of personal growth, artistic discipline, and life
experience.
Whether you're navigating a major transition, leading others, or pursuing creative or
spiritual growth, mentoring offers gentle guidance and honest perspective. It's about
walking beside you with compassion and integreity, helping you integrate what you're
learning into lasting, real-world transformation.

— Lydia Game, Life Coaching
“Over the course of my sessions with Mel, with how she supported in a "no -fix" way, but rather in a, offer questions for me to answer and work through; allowed me to try and come up with my own solutions to the negative things I was experiencing. Mel listened, never judged and allowed me space when I became emotional and need time to recollect myself.”
