Coaching

‘Coaching helps you address many of the challenges life and work can throw at you.'

what is coaching?

Life Coaching helps you to address many of the challenges life and work can throw at you, whilst staying connected to your personal values and best intentions. It gives you a safe, confidential space in which to support your own good mental health, confront challenges and doubt, improve self-care and sustain a sense of wellbeing whilst helping to clarify your purpose and sense of direction. Coaching is not about getting to a fictional place or developing the qualities you think you need. It’s a process which gently encourages you to reconnect to your natural state, and in doing so you will be reminded of all the wonderful resources and tools you already have.

Performers

coaching for actors & performers.

One of my deepest passions is supporting professional actors and performers through the turbulence of making a living whilst doing what you love. I specialise in life coaching actors to navigate the acting profession with confidence, self-love, and authenticity. Over the last seven years, I’ve spent over 600 hours listening to and supporting professional actors to do what they love. I'll help you to tap into your strengths so you can boldly navigate the adventure of balancing your acting career and personal life with confidence and purpose.

‘How can I find the ‘right’ agent and get more work?’
‘I don’t love what I do anymore; it’s become a chore.’
‘I’ve lost my focus and want to feel motivated again.’
‘Should I just do a ‘normal’ job?’
‘What if my best acting work is behind me?’
'I want to stop comparing myself with others.'
'I want a better balance between acting and earning a living.'

Professionals

coaching for creative career-driven women.

I also offer coaching for creative career-driven women* of all ages. I’ve supported everyone from directors to dancers to designers to own their truth and stand in their power by breaking free from habits such as people-pleasing and imposter syndrome. One of the areas I specialise in is supporting women to make an empowered choice about whether or not to have a child. I’ve walked this path myself and I know how mentally and emotionally exhausting it can be. You don’t have to go it alone - I’m here to help.

*including anyone who identifies as a woman and/or non-binary.

‘How do I get out of my own way?’
‘I want to prioritise my needs and learn how to say no.’
‘I want to feel confident and show up unapologetically.'
‘I don’t know whether to have kids and time is running out.'
'I want to support myself through perimenopause'
‘I want to believe in myself again.'
‘I want to move forward; I’m not sure how, or even where to.'
'I'm constantly living in fight or flight mode - it's exhausting.'

‘We don’t see things the way they are. We see things the way we are’

so, Can your coaching help me?

I specialise in two areas: 1) professional actors and performers and 2) creative career-driven women. If you fit into neither of these categories, I may still be able to help. Please contact me to arrange a free initial chemistry call so I can get a better sense of your needs and whether I’m the right coach for you.

The topics I mainly coach my clients on are career, burnout, confidence, self-belief, imposter syndrome, self-compassion and self-care. Over the many years I have been coaching, these are the primary areas that my clients come to me wanting help with. And it’s no surprise because these are also the things I have struggled with in the past.

You’ll likely be at a crossroads in your life. You might be entering perimenopause or struggling with an important life decision such as whether to have a baby, end a relationship, change or advance your career, or perhaps you simply feel stuck and you don’t know why. Having worked in the performing arts and entertainment industries my whole career, I have a particular understanding, empathy and expertise for supporting people working within these sectors.

These industries promote a culture which rewards hustling, grinding, competitiveness, long-hours and being away from our loved-ones. It can make us feel stressed, anxious, lonely and isolated - all things which are hugely detrimental to our nervous systems and overall wellbeing.

Coaching has been proven to help develop new positive neural networks, helping you to respond more calmly to stress, to make clear choices more confidently, and to access much more of your potential creativity. It can support you to think and act more clearly in any area of your life lacking energy and direction, or which feels blocked or just plain ‘wrong’. This could be an important career decision, a personal or professional situation that is not working as you would wish, or something less specific that you sense is holding you back.

what is your coaching like?

My clients describe my coaching as joyful, intuitive, playful, nurturing, creative, adventurous and powerful. I will listen to you deeply with my full attention, giving you space to think, to feel and to be heard. You can count on me to be honest and straightforward, asking clarifying questions and making empowering requests. My theatrical background gives me a creative, playful and improvisational style that I use when clients feel stuck to help them see ‘outside the box’. I will not seek to dish out advice or ‘solve’ your problems but will hold a safe and welcoming space, and ask powerful questions which will help you to think, to feel and to see things more clearly for yourself.

about bea

The Kindest Words

'It's been one of the best decisions I've ever made'

Bea helped me uncover my authenticity, find my worth and courage to start living a more fulfilling life. She is fierce, encouraging, gentle and loyal. I have a better relationship with myself, my friends and family. My time with her improved my life in ways I didn't even realise needed changing.
'I haven't been so consistently happy for a long time'

'Bea has been my coach for three months and it has been transformational. As a performer, having a solid foundation of unshakeable self-belief and self-compassion is so important. With Bea's industry knowledge, we have built up my self-belief and compassion and found grounding in authenticity.'
'Bea genuinely appreciates what it takes to be an actor.'

‘Our work together gave me extraordinary bravery to approach all sorts of agencies I had previously felt were out of my league. I am happy with my new agent and have had more acting opportunities as a result.’
'I truly felt how invested Bea was in my success and my journey'

‘Bea helped me overcome a big hurdle and make some very big changes that will benefit my career - getting a new agent, reassessing my side hustles, and taking steps towards putting on my own play.’
'It’s been the best investment in myself I have ever made'

‘Coaching has benefited every part of my life and helped me regain the self-belief I had lost. Bea’s knowledge and understanding of performers makes our working relationship even easier. I would highly recommend her to anyone in the industry.’
'Bea truly helped to turn my life around...'

She has such a fantastic way of exposing the areas in your life that need attention, as well as bringing to light certain behaviours that sabotage our progress as a performer. I learnt so much about myself during our sessions. I would 1000% recommend Bea, no question!
'Coaching with Bea has been life changing'

‘I always came away from every session feeling refreshed, positive and inspired. Bea is brilliant at what she does and my time with her has exceeded every expectation.’
'I unleashed a stronger, more powerful side to me'

‘Bea has this innate ability to read someone. She knows, before knowing anything about the person, or their life experiences, almost exactly who they are.’
'I have found an inner peace within myself'

‘Our coaching helped my mental health and enabled me to gain perspective on my relationships, including the one I have with myself.’
'It was a wonderful experience which I found unbelievably helpful'

‘Coaching helped me discover more about myself, my goals, ambitions and fears and, crucially, how to navigate all those things safely.’
'In one session I went from stuck to motivated'

‘The sessions were eared towards my needs as an actor and as an individual and moved me forward positively and insightfully. I highly recommend Bea as a very understanding and highly skilled life coach.’
'Bea has been integral to my professional and personal growth'

‘I would, without a shadow of doubt, recommend her to those in all industries and stages of life looking to benefit from her sublime coaching.’
'Bea is a fantastic coach'

‘I loved her warmth, genuineness, wit, humour, professionalism and generosity. Highly recommended.’
'I absolutely loved working with Bea'

‘She is a wonderful coach, insightful and deeply engaged. She really understood the demands faced by creatives and was able to help me through blocks and move towards my goals.’
'Bea’s coaching is extremely bright, open and warm'

‘She is very intuitive and not afraid to ask the tough questions when necessary. She created a beautiful space for me to not feel self-conscious in my character, or my vulnerability.’

courage over comfort

Most of the time we live our lives in an activated or charged state (i.e. fight, flight, freeze or collapse) so a big part of our coaching will be focused on soothing the nervous system first helping you to feel calmer and more in control. The only way we can be successful at making any changes in our lives (big or small) is by feeling safe first.

There may also be times when I will challenge you to choose courage over comfort and what is true, rather than what may be fun, fast or easy. It takes courage to look at our life and to acknowledge that it’s not working how we want it to. Being really honest with ourselves about how we feel is often the hardest part. I fully appreciate that it is a big decision to invest time, energy and money in yourself and you have my word that I am 100% committed to you being powerful, successful and to having the life you want.

coaching faqs

I get asked this a lot! If you're committed to making changes in your life then coaching may be right for you. Coaching is focused on where you are now, what's next for you and how you want to evolve so that you can fulfil your true potential. We look what is needed so that you can create a life which is fulfilling and aligned to who you are, and what’s most important to you right now.
Whilst we explore feelings and emotions, coaching it is NOT therapy or counselling. This is an important distinction. In coaching we look at where you are today and I’ll help you remove the obstacles, move forward, set personal and professional goals and take action to create the life you desire. If for any reason I feel other therapeutic professional services would be more beneficial, I will have a discussion with you and request you get the help you need. Therapy or counselling tend to focus on psychopathology, and the past, and how those experiences or circumstances might be affecting you now. It has a much stronger emphasis on healing and understanding.
Please contact me so we can arrange to have an initial free 30-minute chat over the phone which will help me to get an understanding of your needs and requirements. It will also give you the chance to ask me any questions you may have, and for us both to test the chemistry between us to see whether we would be a good match.
I will send you the relevant coaching agreement forms, along with a questionnaire for you to complete. The latter is designed to get you thinking about what you most need from our work together. We would then have an initial 'discovery' session where we will design how we will work together and how you want me to coach you, what you wish for in your life and what I am to hold for you as your vision.
My theatrical background gives me a creative, playful and improvisational style that I use when clients feel stuck to help them see ‘outside the box’. Throughout our working relationship, the conversations will be direct and personal. You can count on me to be honest and straightforward, asking clarifying questions and making empowering requests. Everything that we explore will be kept in the strictest confidence.
Yes! After each session there is usually something for you to take away and work on, or put into action with the option of accountability. The real coaching happens when you start to integrate deeper awareness and insights into your life. The enquiries are an important part of this.
I offer three and six month coaching packages. A three-month package costs £750. A six-month package costs £1,450. I also offer one-off ad hoc sessions for continuing clients at the rate of £135 per hour. I offer a 10% discount for Spotlight and/or Equity members.
Our sessions will take place remotely, either via phone or Zoom unless otherwise agreed. Sessions usually take place every two weeks and last one hour.
I appreciate how important unfiltered reviews are. I want you to be confident in your decision to work with me. Read my Google Reviews here.
