I have chosen this particular path as my career and personal life has frequently brought me into contact with people who need some help to overcome life’s challenges. I enjoy problem-solving alongside them and empowering them to overcome the hindrances that are preventing them from moving forward and excelling in life. I regularly meet clients who feel stuck and have an aching sense that they need to do something to propel themselves out of their current state, but they simply can't. If that's you, then let me help you!
​
Why I Started
Coaching
Hi there. I am Samantha Ashley, a London-based Life Coach who specialises in Career and Workplace Wellbeing, Life Transitions and Mental Wellness.
​
Alongside being a Life Coach, I am also a Safeguarding Consultant and Independent Social Worker, having qualified in 2013 . I have more than 18 years of experience within the social care field, before and after qualifying, with the majority of my experience being in Children and Families as well as senior roles in mental health teams and a secure mental health hospital. I am passionate abut helping people to manage their emotions in a healthy way.
​
About Me
I also have a number of years of experience within the human resources field of work, having undertaken numerous complex self-employed HR investigations pertaining to grievances, whistleblowing and safeguarding as well as having worked within an Employee Relations Team. This has given me a thorough knowledge in this area and a keen interest in coaching that focuses on careers and workplace wellbeing.
​
There are mental and physical health benefits of being motivated and I’m passionate about motivating people to achieve their goals and reach their fullest potential in life.
I am a strong believer in gratitude and helping my clients to have gratitude for even very small positives in the midst of difficult situations and have seen that this often works wonders. Helping people to identify and celebrate even small wins can often help to shift their mindset from the glass being half empty to being half full.
​
I pride myself on being an authentic, genuine, what you see is what you get type of person. Additionally, I will only take on work that is within my area of expertise.
