"With Hettie, I am not being expected to act in a certain way or to say the right thing. Hettie’s approach is gentle and thoughtful and she is genuinely interested in best serving the needs of her clients. Hettie has always reflected between each session in order to bring the best possible approach, suggestions or structure to our time. She has used a variety of techniques with me, all of which I have found supportive, fruitful, healing, and which have opened up insights in a direct, indirect or surprising ways. Essence coaching is allowing me to start to connect with a real sense of peace, forgiveness and acceptance and to feel in touch with a sense of the spiritual which I had completely closed off due to trauma.”

About me
I’m Hettie, an Essence™ Coach with over 30 years’ experience working with people and groups supporting them to make changes in their own lives and in community and cultural life.
My work is shaped by both professional training and lived experience. I meet you with respect, honesty, and care — welcoming you exactly as you are, while holding a deep trust in your capacity to heal, grow and fulfill your potential.
Many people I work with are aware that earlier experiences or relationships are still shaping how they feel today — in their confidence, emotions, or patterns of relating and yet haven’t been able to shift them alone. They may feel anxious, self-critical, overwhelmed, or stuck.
I have been in all those places, and worse; as I healed my own difficult beginnings in life, I discovered that when we find peace with the past, it changes everything - our thoughts and feelings, our self confidence and the way we communicate and relate to other people. I have witnessed this in the people I work with as well - relaxing into who they truly are, means they can give of their best in their work and relationships.
I offer Essence™ Coaching because it is simple, empowering and effective. It has tools and practices you can immediately take into your life so that you can tend to your own emotional and psychological wellbeing. The practices are effective and transformative because they work gently and very safely at a deep level, creating real and sustainable change.
"Hettie is a powerful coach. She guides with softness, humble service and an energy of deep acceptance that brings a safety for all parts of me to be welcome. Her tools brought me to see what of my own beliefs were standing in my way and helped me to integrate those places and allowed me to find a pathway to what I truly want in my life." Emma, Devon
What I offer
Essence™ Coaching is gentle inner work that helps dissolve painful thoughts, feelings, and the beliefs and conditioning that are held in the body from past experiences, events and relationships. As these soften, people naturally experience more ease, clarity, and freedom to respond differently to life.
Sessions are shaped around your priorities, I create a safe space for you to share and explore your current situation and how it is effecting you and what in the past has contributed to making it. I support people to focus on what you want to be different. A picture of what your life would be like if you could easily solve this problem, stop feeling this way or take action to make things different. Examples could be ‘I feel confident at work’ or ‘I feel good about who I am’ or ‘I am calm and relaxed when I am with other people.’ ‘I am at peace with my past’, I have a new job that I love.
Then we set about making that picture or goal come true using very simple inner enquiries and visualisations. We work with your inner landscape gently discovering and dissolving what your body carries - strong memories, feelings and unconscious beliefs - that block you having what you wish for. We combine this gentle deep work with simple practical actions between sessions to translate the inner work into your outer circumstances.
As an Essence™ Coach I offer: deep listening, facilitating your clarity and healing, sharing simple practices for emotional wellbeing and self healing, and bringing gentle challenge in support of the changes you want to see in your life.
The Essence™ practices include Ancestral Lineage work, Timeline work, Parts Integration therapy all of which are powerful ways to free yourself from the past.
If you would like to know more, please get in touch, I offer free half hour consultations for you to find out more and discover if working with me is right for you. We can talk about what you are looking for help with, how we might approach it and you can ask any questions you might have.
Practical Details - I recommend a first session of an hour and a half priced at £115, this covers the cost of room hire as well, an hour long one would be £78.
After this, to see real change in your life, it is good to commit to a series of four sessions. I offer four one hour sessions for £295 and four 1.5 hour sessions for £395.
