Helping leaders lead with confidence, purpose and impact.

I’m Wendy Stobbs, a Practitioner Life Coach passionate about helping people grow, build confidence, and move forward in a way that feels natural and sustainable for them. My approach is supportive, down-to-earth, and focused on creating a safe space where people can explore their goals, challenges, and potential without pressure or judgement.

I've learned how to support and coach others by living through challenging lessons and changes in my own life.  Taking chances on new roles and opportunities always assuming the glass will be half full -even when life might be busy pouring the contents out for me.  Taking opportunities that challenged but allowed me to be me.
 
I've been coaching since 2013, working within the NHS at acute, regional and national levels supporting men, women and diverse individuals from all walks of life, roles and seniority who were at a decision point, felt stuck, lost, or just quietly fed up. They've left with a clearer sense of who they are, what they actually want and how they might go about getting it.

This experience forms the foundation of my private coaching consultancy work: I’m honest, supportive and say it as it is. With kindness and a 'your move now' approach to helping you navigate your own change.

Qualified

I’m a certified Practitioner Life Coach but I’ve learned just as much from life as I have from my own training. Whether it's my own NHS career, my personal journey through cancer, or navigating sudden change and scary opportunities, I’ve been there.  I don’t just 'do' theory; I help you to gain the self-awareness, strengths, resilience and bravery I’ve found myself.

Outside Life

Outside of coaching, I enjoy being outdoors and making the most of green spaces, whether that’s walking for wellbeing or heading off in our campervan for a change of scenery and a bit of adventure. Family is very important to me, and I love spending time with them (and there are a lot of them!), as well as connecting with friends and meeting new people.  I am also very creative- be that devising new craft projects or planning things for my long-suffering husband to do on the house.

How I Work

I believe in balance — between reflection and action, conversation and quiet, structure and freedom — and I bring that into both my coaching and my lifestyle. I provide coaching in East Lancashire as well as online sessions throughout the rest of the UK and worldwide. We can work together via MS Teams, Google Meet or Zoom. So, whether you’re looking for a life coach near you or online coaching we can connect from wherever you are.

Walk & Talk

Alongside traditional coaching, I also offer walking coaching sessions, combining conversation with the calming benefits of being outdoors. I find that time in green spaces often helps people think more clearly, feel more grounded, and open up in new ways. The rhythm of walking can bring a different perspective to personal development and problem-solving, if you're geographically close to where I live this could be an option for us.
