Stuck In Self-Doubt
As a highly empathic, capable, and deep-thinking human, you want to feel confident doing your impactful work, and to follow your own passions and feel connected to what matters to you.
The problem is, past experiences of burnout, bullying, or toxic environments, have left your inner critic in overdrive, undermining your self-belief and leaving you constantly anticipating judgment and rejection.
I get it.
I know what it's like to care deeply, but feel drained, questioning every decision you make, and feeling like there's something wrong with you. It's exhausting.
It leaves you feeling adrift from who you really are, and feeling like your time with loved ones is overshadowed by this gnawing restlessness.
But, it doesn't have to be that way.
Regaining Hope, Agency & Control
If you're here, it's because some part of you knows that there can be another way.
As an empathic deep-thinker myself, and a former NHS doctor and university lecturer, I've felt the disillusionment descend when navigating toxic workplaces. I've felt trapped in self-doubt and wondered what happened to the confident version of me.
And I've also felt the release of reconnecting with that confidence, once I learnt to practice self-compassion, and made space for the parts of me that carried the wounds of those experiences.
That's why I'm passionate about supporting you to heal the impacts of overwhelm, burnout and toxic environment, so that you can:
-
Relax into confidence, swapping self-doubt for self-belief.
-
Feel like yourself again - the person you are when you’re most in your element.
-
Flourish in the relationships, projects and adventures that will bring you deep and lasting fulfilment.

About Me
Hi, I’m Miriam (pronouns: she/her/hers). My journey off the beaten career track has taken me from refugee community activism, into work as a medical doctor, then university educator, healthcare improvement coach, transformational life coach and mindful self-compassion teacher.
The drive to carve my own path is borne out of a yearning for creativity, along with a desire to create change and to enable people to better connect with themselves and others. And having a rebellious nature also helps!
Pursuing an unconventional route has required me to challenge the boxes that society puts us in, which is not always easy. My aim in coaching is to support others to unblock their path toward fulfilment in a way that is authentic and meaningful to them.
Understanding people’s unique identities, and the many interwoven or disparate parts that make them up, is something close to my heart. Hailing from South London, and being of mixed heritage, I seek out and cultivate environments that cherish multiple influences and perspectives.
One of my core values is connection - the connections we make with ourselves and others, as well as with whatever else brings us joy and groundedness. For me, one of these things is nature. The pictures you see on the website are from my local parks during lockdown 1.0 (Burgess Park and Peckham Rye Park).
My Coaching
WHO DO I COACH?
I coach people who want to understand themselves better in order to create change in their lives. Often they are feeling overwhelmed or stuck, with a sense that something needs to change, but stumped as to how to go about realising that change. They may be experiencing challenges related to a drop in confidence, struggling with asserting their own needs, or making space for, and allowing all parts of themselves to be expressed and heard. Sometimes this is linked to feelings of self-criticism, shame or perfectionism. I support them to explore the beliefs, feelings and perceptions that underlie that stuckness, helping them to reconnect with a sense of self-determination, confidence and self-compassion. My work so far has included coaching teachers, creatives, entrepreneurs, healthcare & charity sector workers and coaches.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Transformational coaching is centred around the following idea:
People are naturally creative, resourceful and whole.
What this means is that coaching is about using a conversation to tap into a client’s natural ability to unpick and re-imagine those deep-seated thoughts and feelings that have been keeping them stuck (importantly, this occurs in parallel with acknowledging the real external circumstances that create struggles and traumas - so rather than being a case of 'just think yourself better', it is one of acknowledging our experiences and responding to ourselves with compassion, meanwhile taking back power over things that hijack our thoughts, feelings and behaviours). It is amazing how much power true listening can have - allowing the speaker to really hear themselves for the first time.
Normally we would meet for a series of 60 minute sessions over a period of weeks-months. To discuss this in more detail, book a free consultation here.
WHERE?
Choose what works for you. I offer:
- Zoom
- In person (rooms in South London)
- Walking (various locations in and around London) - this is in the trials stages at the moment, so get in touch if you're interested in helping test this out!
MY APPROACH
My coaching integrates various ways of understanding ourselves, including transactional analysis, cognitive-behavioural, narrative and person-centred approaches. It harnesses the power of the non-judgmental coaching space for exploration of ideas and feelings. A space for reflection, empathy and an offer to start considering things in different ways.

TRAINING & INFLUENCES
I began my Transformational Life Coaching training with The Animas Centre for Coaching in 2018, alongside work as a medical educator, where I specialise in communication skills, quality improvement and team working. I also work as a quality improvement coach, supporting NHS teams to make improvements. Before becoming an educator, I worked for a few years as a medical doctor. During the journey between the two, I completed introductory training in psychotherapy and counselling, and mindfulness-based stress reduction.
