Hello and welcome! I’m Charlotte, and I’m so pleased you’re here.
HQ Coaching exists to support working mums, young people and families to find balance, confidence and a sense of calm in the middle of busy, demanding lives. Through steady, honest and supportive coaching and NLP, I help you reconnect with who you are beneath the noise of everyday life, illuminating your strengths, nurturing your authenticity, and helping you grow in a way that feels true to you.
During a challenging time in my life, I was lucky enough to discover coaching through a wonderful mentor, and it inspired me. Coaching transformed how I saw myself, my choices and my capacity. It helped me reclaim my confidence, my calm and my identity. I created HQ Coaching and invested in my skills, so I could offer that same experience to others.
My coaching space is grounded, warm and judgement-free. You can speak openly about your challenges without fear of repercussions. Whether you’re navigating work, parenting, relationships or personal change, you won’t be doing it alone. You’ll be supported, not scrutinised; understood, not overwhelmed.
I see the whole person in front of me. Not just the job title, the responsibilities or the labels life hands out so freely. We are all a blend of identities a professional, a parent, a partner, a friend, and each part deserves space, value and care.
My clients tell me that they feel seen, heard and genuinely understood. I speak their language, empathise with the pressures they’re under, and champion their strengths and successes, even the quiet ones they didn’t realise they had until they pause long enough to reflect.
I believe wholeheartedly that everyone has the capacity to create positive change in their lives. Coaching doesn’t give you a new self; it helps you rediscover the version of you that was there all along. I’m here to help you find it, trust it and grow with it.

I’m a very proud mum to two wonderful (and wonderfully exhausting) daughters.

I’m a very proud mum to two wonderful (and wonderfully exhausting) daughters. We live in the beautiful East Riding of Yorkshire, where we settled after moving from London in 2016 — though the southern roots remain, especially when I’m trying to pronounce Yorkshire place names or it is 'big coat' weather!
I love being outdoors and take hundreds of pictures (including all the ones o n this website) but will freely admit that I’m happiest returning to a hot shower and a strong cup of Yorkshire tea after a muddy walk. I’m fascinated by people and endlessly curious, which means I’m almost always studying something new. This curiosity is one of my greatest strengths as a coach because I’m genuinely invested in you, and equally committed to investing in myself so I can offer the very best in return.
Gardening is not my greatest skill, but I adore watching things grow. I have some success with lavender, roses, tulips but I find a special joy when my herbs survive long enough for my husband to cook with them, or when the strawberries mysteriously disappear into my daughters’ hands (ok mouths!) before they reach the kitchen.
Outside my family, my biggest passion is helping people recognise the wonder I can already see in them. There is nothing more fulfilling than watching someone step into their confidence and realise that they’re capable of far more than they believed.
