About Coaching
Coaching supports and empowers people to think for themselves in new and impactful ways, helping them uncover insights, potential, and new ways forward. Rather than giving advice, coaches focus on asking powerful questions, listening with curiosity, and creating space for fresh perspectives and ideas to emerge.
What can I bring to coaching sessions?
Coaching sessions can support you with anything from well-being and resilience, to career development and transition, to personal life challenges - and much more.
Some ways coaching can help include:
​
• Finding clarity and effectiveness in your role
• Building confidence, self-trust, and clearer decision-making
• Managing pressure, workload, and emotional demands at work
• Navigating change, transition, or complexity
• Working more skilfully with relationships, boundaries, and communication
• Exploring career direction, motivation, and sense of purpose
Soulful Systems coaches take a holistic, whole-person view, acknowledging that the personal and professional aren’t always so easily compartmentalised. This gives you room to explore what’s alive, relevant, and important to you, whilst always having choice over what material and parts of your life you bring into the conversation.

What happens in a coaching session?
Coaching sessions are a safe, non-judgemental, and confidential space for you to explore and express at whatever level you feel comfortable.
At the start of each session, you bring a topic or something that’s on your mind, and together you and your coach agree on a clear focus and outcome for the session.
You should leave your session having moved forward in some way, be that a shift in your thinking, plans, perspective, or feelings about a situation. You’ll also leave with clarity on any next actions, and any support or accountability needed to see them through.
It’s also worth noting that often the biggest insights come between sessions when there’s been time to process, integrate, and implement what was explored.
​
Session length and pacing
Sessions tend to be an hour long, although this can be customised with your coach if you find you work better in longer or shorter time frames.
A block of sessions can help support you over time, and deepen into challenges and growth areas that need more focus and attention than one 60 minute session. We recommend a block of 5 sessions, which can be extended if more are needed (or cut short if the work feels complete sooner). Every other week is a common pacing, but everyone is different, and you can figure out with your coach what works best for you.
Coaching versus therapy
Whilst coaching can have emotional depth, it isn’t therapy. The line between coaching and therapy can be grey, but in broad terms therapy focuses on healing trauma or unresolved experiences from the past, often by revisiting and working with them. Meanwhile, coaching - whilst it might look over its shoulder to where you’ve been for context and relevant insight - tends to be more action-orientated and future focused. Coaching asks: where are you now, where do you want to get to, and how can you get there.
If material arises in your coaching sessions that feels beyond the remit of coaching, your coach will gently raise this with you, and it may be something that can be explored with a different practitioner. Many people who work with a coach also work with a therapist in tandem.
More about Niki
Niki’s coaching journey began through a personal mindset shift. After moving abroad in 2011, she experienced a sense of being lost, disconnected from her identity as a woman, mother, and partner, and unsure how to move toward the life she truly wanted. Living with self-doubt and confusion, stuck in limiting beliefs and overwhelmed by expectations, coaching became a way to uncover new ways of thinking.
​
Through the process, Niki learned to challenge and reframe her inner narrative, leading to empowered action and deep self-trust. That journey changed everything, and it’s now her mission to help others experience the same.
​
Today, Niki coaches with empathy, curiosity, and a holistic mindset. She draws from powerful frameworks like Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Positive Psychology, and Cognitive Behavioural Coaching to support people in breaking free from mental patterns that hold them back.

‘’Niki held space for me like nobody has before, and challenged me in a really thoughtful and constructive manner, which really allowed me to go deep and think about myself and my working life from alternative angles.

She has supported me to grow my self confidence and I feel energised and optimistic for my future. I would recommend working with Niki any day!'' J.W, Entrepreneur

She made me re-evaluate aspects of my life that I had taken for granted, as I was able to trust her when discussing things about myself that I had locked away for years and tried to laugh off. Our sessions helped me to re-evaluate and prioritise what is important to me. I feel she has done a brilliant job whilst working with me, I would definitely recommend her”.
