Meet Ayleigh: Your Positive Psychologist, Authenticity & Creativity Coach
As a Positive Psychologist, Authenticity & Creativity Coach, and author, I bring a unique blend of expertise in psychology, creativity, and self-discovery to my coaching practice. My mission is to empower you to embrace your authentic self, navigate life's challenges with confidence, and tap into your innate creativity.
​
With a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Positive Psychology & Coaching Psychology, I offer evidence-based coaching that focuses on cultivating positivity, resilience, and personal growth.
With over 8 years of experience in psychology and research, I'm passionate about helping individuals unlock their full potential and live authentically. As a creative soul and psychologist, I understand the desire for both self-expression, self-discovery, and self-acceptance, while also appeasing our logical minds. We want to be able to feel we have spoken and acted in a way that makes us feel good, like we've acted with integrity, but there are challenges that pop up while navigating life. Sometimes it feels like we're being torn in two, divided between what feels authentic, the safe road we already know, and what we think is expected of us.
​
One key thing to know is that creativity isn't limited to traditional art forms; it's a fundamental aspect of human expression and personal growth. Whether you find yourself collecting hobbies (like me), or believe you're not particularly creative, creativity manifests in various forms in our lives: through innovation, inspiration, expression, adaptability, problem-solving, originality, exploration and freedom.
​
My own journey of discovering authenticity and living in alignment hasn't been easy. I've had moments of feeling disconnected from my true self, experienced a lack of fulfilment, struggled with creative blocks, and sought validation from others about my life choices. These challenges led to a significant shift in focus in my business, my relationships, and my overall life. I can now say that I feel I express myself authentically more than ever, and find more joy, love, and safety in my relationships than ever before. I feel I've stepped into flow with my creativity, and am tapping into the abundance, excitement and peace that comes with inspiration.
​
I am always excited on behalf of every one of my clients as I see them having these experiences too, as they allow their authentic selves to shine. I'm committed to supporting each through their own journeys of self-discovery and growth. I'm here to walk alongside you, cheering you on every step of the way.
We all need a safe space to nurture our authentic selves.
A place where there's no judgement, no wrong choices, and no right answers except the ones we choose for ourselves.
Why I'm a Coach?
​I believe that it is possible to live a life you love. It can be easier said than done, but it all comes down to persistence and the right support system.
I love working with my clients; seeing them grow, having massive realisations, finding what lights them up and discovering what gets them excited to get out of bed everyday. Each of them finds their confidence, joy, passion and peace in their authentic self.
I have a coach myself (who I absolutely love working with), so I have seen the profound effect of coaching on my own life. I wouldn't advocate or support anything that I have not researched and have seen the results.
I am here as a guide, safe space and shoulder to lean on, and I will have complete faith in you every step of your journey.
