Helping people have
better days at work.
Work can look absolutely fine from the outside and still feel different when you're the one living it every day.
You might be questioning yourself more than you used to, thinking about work more than you'd like, or wondering whether the path you're on is the right one.
You know something needs to change, even if you haven't worked out what that looks like yet.
At In Wonder Coaching, I help successful people rethink their relationship with work, so they can make clearer decisions, move forward with confidence and feel less consumed by it.

How I help you
When you’re experienced and used to having the answers, it’s easy to rely on familiar
ways of thinking, working or leading, even when they’re no longer helping.
I help you question what you’ve come to accept about success, leadership and what you want next.
By examining the assumptions and patterns shaping how you respond, you can see your
choices more clearly and respond differently when it matters.
Meet Elaine
I spent more than 20 years in senior leadership roles across technology, financial services and professional services before becoming a coach.
I loved developing people, leading teams and taking on bigger challenges. But over time, I realised that building a career around achievement alone didn't always feel the way I expected it to.
And the more I pushed myself, the less sustainable it started to feel.
Eventually, I realised there was another way where I could still be ambitious and do meaningful work. I just didn't need to run myself into the ground to do it.
That experience now shapes how I coach, helping people find a way of working and leading that feels healthier and more sustainable.
Ways we can work together
Coaching for individuals
A dedicated space to focus on what's happening at work and what you want to do about it.
Whether it's a leadership challenge, burnout or a role that no longer feels right, we'll work through it and help you decide what comes next.
Coaching for organisations
When responsibilities grow, good people need support to grow with them.
I help people leaders navigate greater demands, communicate effectively and lead well without burning themselves out.
What starts to change
Every client is different. But over time, people often tell me they:
Trust themselves more
Speak up more confidently
Make decisions more easily
Feel less consumed by work
Handle pressure more effectively
Show up like themselves again
The goal isn't to become someone different. It's to find a way of working and leading that feels right for you.
What clients say
When I first started my coaching with Elaine, I hadn't felt like me for a very long time. I'd lost my confidence and spark, was struggling and knew I needed help. Through working with Elaine, I slowly found myself again.
I am now in a new job I love and new house too, living my best life again.
Rachel Bain
Biodiversity Officer
When I first began working with Elaine, I was uncertain about the direction of my career and had lost confidence in my own abilities.
Elaine's coaching helped me see clearly that I hadn't lost my skills - she guided me to recognise and reclaim them, and to apply them with renewed confidence while staying true to my values.
Alison Connor
Principal Delivery Manager
I started working with Elaine after leaving a company I'd been with for 13 years, unsure what was next. She helped me cut through the 'what ifs', recognise my strengths, and find confidence rooted in my values.
She is non-judgmental, positive, and kind. A truly honest human being, and I know I'll work with her again.
