I am a Learning and Development professional and qualified coach (ILM Level 3 in Effective Coaching), passionate about helping people find clarity, confidence, and direction in both their work and their lives.
Many of the people I work with are at a point of change or challenge. You might be navigating a career transition, feeling the pressure of leadership, managing workplace stress, or trying to balance professional responsibilities with your own wellbeing. At times like these, it can feel difficult to think clearly or know what the next step should be. Coaching offers a space to pause, reflect, and move forward with greater intention.
Through our work together, I support you to reconnect with your values, strengths, and goals, helping you make decisions that feel aligned and sustainable. My background in the charity and education sectors means I understand the realities of working in purpose-driven environments. While these roles can be deeply rewarding, they can also bring emotional demands, high expectations, and the challenge of supporting others while trying to look after yourself.
My approach is person-centred, collaborative, and supportive. I offer a calm, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can explore what’s going on for you openly. Using thoughtful questioning, reflection, and structured goal-setting, I help you develop insight, strengthen your self-belief, and take meaningful steps forward.
Alongside my coaching work, I am a Wellbeing Ambassador and Mental Health First Aider. I care deeply about helping people build healthier, more sustainable ways of working and living. I am also a member of Coaching Reading, where I continue to develop my practice and stay connected to a wider professional coaching community.
People who work with me often come away with a greater sense of clarity, increased confidence in their decision-making, and practical ways to manage pressure while staying connected to what matters most to them.
If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready to make a change, coaching can be a powerful place to start. If you would like to work with Zoe Hawkes, please complete the enquiry form below or book a call to explore how you can move forward.
