Employee Individual Coaching

Motherhood should never come at the cost of a woman's confidence, career or potential.

Executive coaching programmes support high-performing female talent by helping them create strategies, find new new perspectives and understand their identifies and strengths. This is underpinned by coaching psychology and positive psychology scientific principles and organisational understanding so women can transition back to work and excel in their careers, and businesses retain their female talent.

What clients get from working with Dr Arabella Ashfield…

  • Practical, evidence-informed guidance rather than theory.

  • A psychologically safe space where people can think clearly.

  • Tailored support rather than generic programmes.

  • Confidence in managers and employees to make decisions and move forward.

  • Practical tools managers and high-performing women continue using long after they've worked with me.

  • A balance of challenge and compassion.

  • Lasting change, not simply feeling better for an hour.

  • Help to make people thrive, rather than simply helping them cope.

We had brilliant feedback from colleagues, valuing the practical application of different tools and techniques…We would highly recommend Ascending Motherhood.
