MY JOURNEY
Why I Became a Coach
Life transitions can leave us questioning who we are, what matters to us and where we go next.
​
My own experiences of navigating significant change have shaped the way I approach coaching today. They taught me the importance of self-compassion, curiosity and having a safe space in which to pause, reflect and make sense of what we're experiencing.
Through my own journey, I discovered how powerful it can be to step away from judgement and expectation and instead listen more closely to ourselves — our thoughts, emotions, values and the things that truly matter.
​
That experience ultimately led me to train as a coach and create Lorinda Coaching.
​
Today, I support people who are navigating life transitions, uncertainty and personal change, helping them reconnect with themselves, gain greater clarity and move forward in a way that feels meaningful and authentic.
I became a holistic coach to create a deeply nurturing space where people can reconnect with their inner strength, restore balance and return to their innate wholeness.
MY APPROACH
A Calm, Compassionate Approach to Coaching
My approach is centred around you as an individual. There is no one-size-fits-all formula and no expectation that you should already know where you want to go.
​
I provide a calm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can explore what you're experiencing, understand what matters most and begin to see things from a different perspective.
​
Our work together is collaborative and tailored to your needs, drawing on my training in transformational coaching and psychology while always respecting your own experiences, values and pace.
Holistic & Person-Centred
We look beyond a single challenge to understand the wider picture — your thoughts, emotions, experiences, values and what matters most to you.
Compassionate & Non-Judgemental
You'll have space to speak openly and honestly, without pressure or expectation, knowing that you'll be listened to with empathy and respect.
Tailored to You
Every coaching journey is different. Our work together will respond to your individual circumstances, helping you find clarity and take steps that feel right for you.
Coaching with Lorinda is not about being told what to do — it's about creating the space to discover what feels right for you.

BEYOND COACHING
When I'm Not Coaching
When I'm not coaching, I value time spent outdoors, connecting with nature and enjoying the simple things that help create balance and perspective.
​
Whether it's walking, travelling or simply taking time to pause and appreciate my surroundings, these moments of connection and reflection are an important part of my own wellbeing.
