My Story

I Was You.

At 34, I was a senior marketing director at a company I respected, earning a salary I was proud of, and completely, quietly miserable. I had followed every rule — the right degree, the right trajectory, the right ambition. And I had arrived somewhere that felt like someone else's life.

A single coaching conversation changed the direction of everything. Not because my coach gave me answers, but because she asked me questions I had been too afraid to ask myself. Within six months I had left my corporate role, completed my ICF certification, and begun building the practice I now run full-time.

My clients are successful by every external measure and hungry for something more real. Together, we do the honest, structured, sometimes uncomfortable work of figuring out what that looks like for them — and building the confidence and strategy to go get it.

How It Works

What Working Together Actually Looks Like

01

Discovery Call

A free 45-minute conversation to understand where you are, what you want, and whether we are the right fit. No selling, no pressure — just an honest conversation.

02

Deep Assessment

Before our first session, you complete Elena's proprietary Life Audit — a 45-minute questionnaire that maps your values, patterns, blockers, and desires.

03

The Work

Weekly 60-minute sessions via Zoom, voice support between sessions, personalised exercises, and a dedicated progress dashboard tracking your momentum.

04

Integration

After every engagement, you receive a handover document summarising your breakthroughs, commitments, and next-step resources. The goal is that you never need to come back — though most clients do.

Client Transformations

Real People, Real Change

These are full, unedited accounts from clients who gave permission to share their story.

Thomas R.
Thomas R.
Former VP of Finance — now founder of a $4M fintech startup
Corporate VP → Startup Founder

"I came to Elena convinced I needed a better job. I left knowing I needed a completely different life. Within eight months of finishing our engagement I had resigned, raised seed funding, and launched a company I am genuinely obsessed with. Elena did not tell me to do any of this. She helped me figure out that I already knew — and gave me the framework to trust it."

Priya M.
Priya M.
Doctor turned bestselling author and keynote speaker
Physician → Author & Speaker

"I spent twelve years as a physician while quietly writing the book I thought I would never be allowed to publish. Elena helped me understand why I kept self-sabotaging, gave me the language to own my expertise, and held me accountable to finishing the manuscript. The book debuted at No. 4 on Amazon. I cannot believe this is my life now."

James & Sarah K.
James & Sarah K.
Couple who rebuilt their marriage and moved to Portugal
Stuck in London → Life in Porto

"We were running on empty, stuck in London, wondering whether we still wanted the same things. Elena coached us individually for six weeks and then together. The clarity we both gained was extraordinary. Eight months later we sold our flat, moved our family to Porto, and are living a life we designed together — not one we inherited."

Questions

Before You Reach Out

Therapy focuses on healing the past and diagnosing and treating mental health conditions. Coaching is future-focused — we start from the assumption that you are fundamentally capable and use structured conversation to help you clarify, plan, and act. I am not a therapist and do not treat mental health conditions. If you are experiencing acute mental health challenges, I will refer you to the appropriate professional.

If you can articulate what is not working and you are willing to take responsibility for changing it, you are ready. Coaching is not for people who want someone to fix them — it is for people who want support, structure, and accountability while they do their own work. The free discovery call is the best way to find out if we are a fit.

Most clients report meaningful clarity and momentum within the first two to three sessions. Lasting, structural change — the kind that holds six months or two years later — typically requires 90 days of consistent engagement. My 4-week Clarity Intensive is designed for people who need fast movement on a specific decision or challenge.

Yes. The Executive Presence program can be delivered to leadership teams. I also offer couples coaching for partners navigating major life transitions together. For corporate team engagements, reach out directly to discuss a custom scope.

Absolutely. All sessions are strictly confidential. Nothing you share is disclosed to any third party, including employers or family members, without your explicit written consent. The only exceptions are the standard duty-of-care situations mandated by ICF ethical guidelines (risk of harm to self or others). You will receive a coaching agreement outlining these terms before we begin.
