start making personal change here
it’s easier with our team by your side
Life gives us all kinds of challenges and opportunities.
Coaching can help us to adapt and thrive.
Making personal change takes understanding, insights and steps towards new habits or behaviours.
A coach by your side can help you to think through your questions, your challenges, your options and your next steps.
At Start Here, we believe that change is easier when we have great supporters around us. So we came together as team.
That gives you a readymade shortlist of people to work with - and makes it a little easier to choose a coach.
We share a common core approach and values - but we also come from different working and life backgrounds.
We’re based in different locations across the UK, as well as working locally and internationally online.
You can find out more about each of us below. If you’re not sure who you might want to start talking to about potential coaching options, please do contact any of us. We are always happy to recommend the best person for you.
We want to make coaching feel accessible for everyone - so you’ll also find more information on the menu above, to de-mystify getting started with coaching, or finding a new coach.
Let’s meet the team - we’re looking forward to meeting you…
