Meet Angharad
Hi, my name is Angharad Hart (she/her)
Pronounced 'Ang-ha-rad'; it's Welsh and means 'loved one'.
​
I'm delighted to meet you! I am originally from Wales, but now based in Nottinghamshire, England, where I live with my husband and our two dogs. Alongside my coaching and Reiki, I work part-time as an education and training officer for a heritage charity, and I enjoy working with oracle cards, designing websites and anything else you can think of, cooking new plant-based dishes and dog walks out and about in nature.
​
I believe coaching can help us to get to know ourselves better and achieve the clarity and confidence we need to understand what is no longer working for us, and to dare to dream a new future for ourselves, where we are able to achieve our most ambitious goals. Coaching gives us the space to imagine what's possible, and create an actionable plan for crafting a life that aligns with who we really are, and what we truly want! A life driven by values, purpose and passion.
​
With regards to my experience, I recently completed a Diploma in Coaching from Cambridge University ICE and am a member of the Association for Coaching. I also have an IPHM accredited diploma in meditation, a L2 Introduction to Counselling Skills certification, a Life Purpose Life Coach certificate, and am a Usui Reiki Master level practitioner.

"My mission is to create a safe, gentle and judgement-free space for you to develop the confidence, self-belief and clarity to create a truly authentic, joyful and purpose-led life, and business that reflects who you are!"
My Approach
I am a holistic and integrative life and business coach, and am able to draw on a number of psychological and holistic approaches in my practice, in order to find the right approach for each individual client - because we are all different and what works for one person may not be the answer for you. Each client's journey is unique and I work with you to create a coaching programme that is completely personalised to you and your needs.
​
I am a person-centred coach and have been heavily influenced by the work of Carl Rogers. I also resonate strongly with positive psychology, Gerard Egan's Skilled Helper approach, transactional analysis, emotional intelligence and the latest developments in neuroscience, which can be a powerful addition to coaching by helping to create new neural pathways and facilitate sustainable change.
I have seen for myself the importance of finding alignment, not just in the mind, but in body, spirit and self. I am a fan of somatic practices, such as MBit, which help us tap into the wisdom in our own bodies, and energetic work such as Reiki which can help to promote deep relaxation, reduce symptoms of stress and even restore the body's energetic flow and vitality.
​​
Alongside this, I am able to integrate more spiritual practices and modalities into my coaching where this aligns with the client's interests, including Oracle Cards the feminine, seasonal and lunar cycles, and the Law of Attraction, to help clients feel more connected to their intuition and empowered to begin creating a life of abundance and joy.
My Values
Compassion
I believe that what the world needs now is more compassion, and this begins with accepting ourselves, our flaws as well as our strengths, and showing kindness. We are all doing the best we can with what we know and what we have.
My Story
Over the last five years I have experienced significant transformation in my life. Let's rewind for a second, back to July 2018.
​
I was working for a local authority, was married to my husband of almost 3 years and lived in Suffolk with our two cats and one dog. I had experienced a significant personal loss and had recently started seeing a counsellor. I was struggling with worsening stress, anxiety and panic attacks, and I was miserable in my work which impacted my personal life. I was struggling with an ongoing health condition, around 20 food intolerances, and I couldn't see a way forward.
Although I knew I needed to leave my job, I had no idea what else I could do for work, or wanted to do, and was feeling stuck, confused, frustrated and at times, hopeless and scared. I realised I didn't actually know myself very well at all, and certainly didn't trust myself to make decisions. One thing I did know was that I had worked over 2o jobs by the age of 32 and working in a conventional job was not working for me. I craved more freedom in my life - less time commuting and sitting in a busy office watching the clock counting down, and more time travelling, working from wherever I wanted and when it suited me. I desired more autonomy over the tasks I did, and the ability to choose who I worked with. I wanted less stress, fewer panic attacks and more creativity and joy! My husband had his own business, but I didn't think that was an option for 'someone like me' - What did I know about running a business? I simply didn't have the confidence to consider going down this route, so I moved jobs and hoped for the best.
​
"I wanted less stress, fewer panic attacks and more creativity and joy!"
​
Fast forward to July 2023, I am currently working as a freelance education and training consultant for a national charity, alongside running my own freelance coaching business. My food intolerances are down from 20 or so to just 3 and I now enjoy a mostly plant-based diet. I very occasionally have a mild panic attack, which I am now able to manage and recognise as my body's way of letting me know when I start to slip out of alignment with my true self. I enjoy flexible working hours and freedom to do my job from wherever I am (most of the time), and my part-time role also means I have time to focus on my coaching business, which I love!
​
I know so much more about myself, including why it was right for me to move on from my previous career, and I have made some pretty brave decisions along the way - some things I wish had turned out differently, but I see the value of what I have learned and experienced along the way. I have discovered the benefits of energy therapy and Reiki, and uncovered a love of oracle cards, vision boards and the flow of working in partnership with Spirit and the Universe.
​​
I have discovered a new world of plant-based cooking, healing essential oils and have amassed a vast collection of crystals and pendulums. I meditate and journal regularly, and have discovered countless people, books and organisations that have helped me along my personal, professional and spiritual journey, from coaches and therapists to friends and mentors. I am now able to accept and embrace my whole Self - The parts that others see and feel validated, and the parts that have been hidden away. This is their time to shine too, and I know I am constantly growing and changing.
I still have dreams that I am chasing and a vision that is bold and ambitious, fuelled by my values, passion and sense of purpose. Part of this is continuing to grow my own freelance coaching and energy therapy business, and supporting others who want to create their own freelance businesses and create positive change in their personal lives. ​
