Dedicated to supporting my clients to thrive
I am delighted to recommend Philippa Martin Coaching. If you are a mid-career battler, a professional with a forest-dense calendar or a leader trying to find space in operations to consider strategy, then a coaching relationship may be for you. Philippa works with empathy, care, humour and skilful attention to detail. You will be guided and challenged, supported by reputable frameworks, to identify patterns, set goals and envision ways of thriving within the environment in which you live and work.
Philippa coached me through a pivotal time in my life. She helped me see and explore different paths, challenged beliefs and helped me find the courage to take action. Philippa brings to her coaching a unique combination of empathy and intelligence, making you feel safe, heard and challenged all at the same time. She creates the perfect environment for growth.
I had the privilege of partnering with Philippa during our Transition Coaching certification, and I was immediately struck by her courage, kindness, and deep presence. With finely tuned listening skills and rich experience as a woman leader in a male-dominated field, Philippa brings both empathy and clarity to her coaching.
She has a rare gift: she encourages and challenges in perfect balance. Trust is one of my core values, and I trust Philippa completely. She creates a safe and empowering space where growth naturally happens.
Her ability to connect with others on their level, support their confidence, and guide them with compassion and insight is profound.
If you’re looking for a coach who sees your potential and helps you fully step into it, Philippa is that coach.
