Safe Space Coaching

I'm Emily, founder of Safe Space Coaching.

I am a Qualified NLP Coach with over 20 years experience helping people to move through change and achieve what they want.

When you understand the science behind how we change it explains why it can feel so hard for us, even when we’re on the right path.

A key to this is learning how to tap into your intuition to tell the difference between when a decision is wrong for you and when it’s right but you are blocking yourself. Decisions become easy to make.

If we continue to experience stress we know this can cause physical issues in our body. By facing into things that are stuck to resolve the underlying problem – we can resolve even supposedly incurable physical symptoms.

It’s important to start this now before the physical issue is too significant it becomes a bigger hurdle to overcome.

The stories and beliefs we carry around with us every day determine the life we have now.

My skill and art is to help you face into things you may have been avoiding, and be there with you, to help you find answers that are right for you.

We all know ourselves better than anyone else ever will. Given the right support in a safe space we all have the power to uncover our blocks and change our life.

This is a passion of mine to help people create the lives they want. I'm excited to help you with this!

My past

I spent many years of my life clueless about myself. Life wasn’t what I thought it would be – I didn’t feel happy and satisfied – and hadn't ticked the boxes I felt I should have. But I still thought I was completely in control and fine.

Romantic relationships were hard. Both the process of finding a partner and then being happy with them. There were arguments and disconnect. I struggled to understand how to support them and make things right.

Faults in other people were obvious to me but I didn’t understand my part in what I was experiencing.

Sometimes I would struggle to make a decision and not know what path to take. This feeling of uncertainty felt very uncomfortable to me.

So often I would make knee jerk decisions, telling myself I was leaving things to fate. Then feel confused about why things didn't work how I wanted them to.

Illness started for me and I would tell myself I didn’t have time to be sick and just push through it. My body was becoming exhausted but I didn't know any other way to be. I was tough on myself and tough on others.

I told myself I didn't live in the past without realising I was actually carrying around every pain I had ever felt.

How it changed for me

I started to have experiences that helped me see my world was not set in stone. There were different answers.

Firstly on the physical level - I had sickness in my animals where western medicine couldn’t help. I had to go down “alternative” paths and much to my surprise, I helped them to heal.

By chance I joined an organisation that encouraged me to see outside my limited thinking of the world. They encouraged me to connect more deeply with myself. See that what we accept as fact is often not.

They sent me on a course in NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming). I started to see the power of our mind and how we can transform our lives. Learning some clever tools to help us cut through the noise.

I discovered Louise Hay – author of Heal Your Life and an amazing coach. This happened at a time when I had lost a child in pregnancy, my long term relationship was breaking down, and my body was burnt out (again). I was diagnosed with supposedly incurable auto immune conditions.

By facing into my stuff from the past I was able to cure myself of a condition the medical specialists said was incurable.

A course in Ontological Coaching further built on my understanding of the connection between mind, body, and emotions.

How we hold things in our body and we can change how we feel with our body. If we change the thoughts we have, we can change the experiences we have.

The more people I coached, the more I saw the different tricks we use to stop ourselves from changing. Even when we say we really want to change, sometimes we just feel we can't. We just need a little help to get around ourselves!
