What is Coaching?

At its core, Coaching is a conversation, where the coach listens and offers insightful and reflective questions. It is a thought provoking and creative process. We can help you to transform or make progress in a specific area of your life or move forward with a problem you are currently stuck with.

We want to help you maximise your potential but we are not the experts on your life - YOU are! We’re here to hold a safe, non judgemental space so that you can find your own answers. Basically, we will help guide you toward your goals and dreams!

We offer FREE 30 minute ‘chemistry calls’ where we’ll talk you through the process and answer any questions that you have.

Our Services

We will work collaboratively with you to create bespoke coaching solutions that best suit your organisation's or your personal needs. Below are some examples of the services we offer ways we work but please don't hesitate to get in touch to discuss what works best for you.

1-2-1 Sessions & Speed Coaching

121 sessions are designed primarily around personal or professional growth by setting and achieving the goals that will ultimately help you to "Find Your Happy". These sessions can take place in person, online or via a phonecall and they normally last around an hour. They are always future focussed and are designed as a space for you to share whatever is on your mind with us, it doesn’t always have to be goal related - remember all sessions with Freedom & Joy are private & confidential.

Speed coaching is designed as a taster session for those keen to try coaching. Hosting a networking event and need an activity that will bring people together? Speed coaching is the perfect addition and can offer up a quick insight into the coaching process.

Group Coaching
& Listening Circles

Group Coaching or Listening Circles are an extension of the coaching process, where we will create a space for a group of people to share ideas, goals or work through any challenges they may be having.

When people really start listening and asking insightful questions of each other - that’s when the magic happens!

The Freedom & Joy Method ⓒ

Dual coaching is a unique two-coach approach designed specifically for business leaders, company owners, or teams seeking a focused and objective solution for a particular challenge. This method leverages the strengths and perspectives of two coaches to deliver dynamic and lasting results.

Testimonial

Laura Walker
Chief Executive Officer

CEO Coaching

As the Chief Executive of a national charity for sight loss, my direction must be focused, motivated, and successful. Coaching has enabled me to build concrete confidence in myself, my values, and my leadership style. I receive dual coaching because the three-way conversation ignites my mind to new ideas and possibilities while also dismantling any negative barriers I may have placed in my path. Coaching is a safe space to enhance your mind, beliefs, and overall wellbeing.Freedom and joy are incredible. They make the whole process organic and fun. After every session, I feel refreshed and motivated to move forward with everything! I have come to the realisation that the only obstacle you face is yourself. Through coaching, there are no limits.

Visibility Scotland Coaching

Visibility Scotland and Freedom and Joy have partnered for almost two years. The charity’s mission is to provide person-centred, skills-focused services. Freedom and Joy’s coaching complements this work by supporting people through natural conversation to set goals and then reach them.Coaching provides a space for people to explore what they want from life; this is a space seldom available when we don’t prioritise our wellbeing. Negative social stigma is a barrier for many people with a disability; learning skills to tackle difficult situations socially or in the workplace has been life-changing for many of our service users, and as such, coaching will always be part of our holistic suite of services.

"As the creator of a business program for women entrepreneurs, bringing on Sharon as our coach consultant was one of the best decisions I made. Sharon's expertise in crafting vision boards helped the women in our program crystallize their business goals and strategic plans to reach them. Her action plan frameworks kept our participants on track with detailed steps for growing their ventures. Most impactfully, Sharon's 1-2-1 coaching sessions empowered the women in our program to expand their mindsets and unleash their full potential.

Many participants credited Sharon's compassionate yet targeted coaching approach with giving them the confidence to take their businesses to the next level. Sharon's coaching consultancy was instrumental in making our women's entrepreneur program a tremendous success. I highly recommend bringing Sharon on board to amplify the impact of any business training program for women."

Our Story

Hello! We are Sharon and Aarti - two Coaches who have previously worked in Senior Leadership positions in Music and Entertainment. We became great pals during a crazy ten days in New York (what goes on tour, stays on tour!) and realised later that we were both on similiar journeys of change and reflection. After experiencing coaching first hand, we realised that following our dreams could actually be a reality! So, after much soul searching, we decided the next move was to help other people find their own version of Freedom and Joy and we set up the business in late 2022.

As coaches, we commonly find that when people reach out, out is because they feel lost or stuck. In most cases this is because they have lost sight of what really matters to them - we look forward to helping you "Find Your Happy" and becoming unstuck!

Sharon

It was through receiving coaching via my role at UK charity Help Musicians that I identified that my real passion was to help others to realign with theirs. I wanted to make this profound experience accessible to others and gained a coaching qualification with RD1st. It was through my client work that my curiosity around human behaviour and thinking styles was further fuelled which led to me expanding my knowledge and skills into the therapeutic field as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) and holistic healer as a Reiki Master and Shamanic practitioner.

Aarti

After being coached by The Handel Group, I experienced first hand the difference that being coached could make and trained as a Transformational Coach with Animas UK in 2021. I’d say I am a naturally curious and analytical person, who enjoys helping others find their joy and reach their goals.

I can also offer Mentoring & Media Training Services. I strongly believe that a good mentor needs to be positive and encouraging, provide honest and constructive feedback and needs to have a growth mindset - as a coach, I also fully believe that a Mentor must actively listen.
