Meet the coach! 

Hi, I'm Emma the founder and owner of Em-Powered and I'd like to take this time to give you a little bit of a background to me and what has led to me being in the position I am as a life coach.

Work experience. 

 I trained as a Person Centred Therapist 18 years ago and after I completed my degree in Human and Health Science I started working for an organisation who supported service users with addictions.

I worked closely with individuals and their vulnerabilities to help them reach a point that they were able to feel more confident and autonomous. There was so much job satisfaction and seeing how my work was helping others succeed gave me fulfilment and pride. 

My compassion to help people achieve their goals has always been at the forefront of my career and this was further nurtured when I trained as a nurse and told on many occasions that my support and care will be remembered by patients and their families. 

My other business of being a photographer is something I feel extremely proud and passionate about as I feel that I provide my clients with something so priceless and personal that they can keep for generations to come. 

Personal experience 

in life we will experience stressful situations and trauma and it's up to us to process this and deal with it in a healthy way. I personally experienced severe health anxiety in my early 20's that led me to train and become a person centered therapist.

I have had multiple health complications requiring hospital stays during my university degree where my mum would come to visit me in HDU to see me working on my presentation once I had been discharged from hospital. 

I have had two long term relationship break downs over the years and have been able to resume an amicable and co-parenting relationship.

I discovered I had breast cancer after newly setting up my photography studio, to then learn I had to close it down before my treatment started, my studio was only open for three months before I had to give it up. 

I then built up my business again after the completion of my treatment and all whilst being a single mum and still doing all the mum life jobs and pay bills. 

I have been in financial difficulty during my adult life and had financial success, however, I never allowed my difficult times in life to define me as a person. It was simply a bad time not a bad life.

I have made mistakes and quickly learned from them without allowing myself to be hung up on it, after all, how are we supposed to grow personally and professionally without learning.
