Coaching 1-1
Business Coaching for your whole self
Is this you?
You’re at the precipice of a change or transition and ready to let go of the old to make way for the new.
You’re working hard in your business but not getting the results that you feel should be happening.
You know you’re creative and want to further develop this so that it translates into money in the bank.
You feel overwhelmed and – to be honest – a little out of control and your go-to tools are no longer working.
You’re keen on things being more simple, streamlined and efficient, so that you’re not getting caught up in the weeds of your business.
You’re a business owner, freelancer, health practitioner, creative, artist or artisan maker.
You want to better connect with your purpose and channel your passion into doing interesting, personally meaningful work – work that you were born to do.
Finding clarity
Clarity brings freedom. Freedom from ambiguity, overwhelm, confusion and being a passenger of life rather than an active participant. When we unlock clarity in our business goals and strategy, our direction is obvious.
Without clarity, we’re mindlessly filling our hours with activities that don’t bring us any closer to our purpose. Our thinking is like a fog, with plenty of mental clutter that keeps us stuck. Everything is harder when we lack clarity.
When we find clarity, it creates an energy of flow. Suddenly, we’re moving in a meaningful direction, and writing an action plan to guide us to our destination is easy. There’s a weight off our shoulders as our thinking, conversations, partnerships and actions are all working in harmony towards one destination.
I know the feeling of being in the fog. Let me help you clear the way.
Fran, Director - Evoke Pictures, Bristol
”Working with Fiona has helped build my confidence and recognise my value to help me reach my true potential. The coaching has given me clarity so I am more focused on important aspects of my business with a plan to ensure they grow
and flourish.”
The power to change
Never before have rates of change been so exponential. As business owners, creatives, and freelancers, our ability to thrive within a world which is volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous poses numerous challenges. It’s crucial that we prioritise our resilience if we are to grow a sustainable business.
One-to-one business coaching with me doesn’t just focus on marketing and messaging, resources and making crucial decisions. Together, we focus on strengthening your courage and resilience – this is the best insurance policy you can have.
Through deepening your courage and resilience, you’re able to weather any storm, overcome any challenge, and prosper through any transition.
About Fiona Lynch Business Coach
With 20 years’ experience enabling small businesses to grow, I well understand the rollercoaster of building and growing a business. My husband and I, plus another director, grew a digital media agency from 4 to 25 staff in three years, operating across three regions, before winding it down.
My 12+ years in fundraising, revenue-raising, and developing purposeful partnerships in the not-for-profit sector honed my abilities in resourcefulness, resilience, positivity, tenacity, creativity, plus my familiarity with pivots and change.
While working in fundraising, I developed my ability to develop teams and resources to generate income for worthy causes. But over time, my desire for more flexibility and freedom in my work was clear. I wanted to work for myself on my own terms.
I had been working on the side to support and mentor sole traders and business owners, who were creatives, health practitioners , artisans and artists, and often overwhelmed by all the many and varied roles and responsibilities of running one’s own show.
My clients are specialists in their field, but most come into self-employment with no qualifications nor experience in establishing, running or growing a business. Time and again, they find themselves drowning in daily minutiae, making it difficult to hold their big vision or stay connected to their purpose.
They know their current way isn’t working and often feel overwhelmed, overworked and underpaid.
Using clarity as our compass, I equip owners with the power to make courageous moves.
My ICF-accredited coaching qualification with Barefoot Coaching has given me robust training and an outrageously useful framework for the ‘soft’ skills I’ve been using my whole working life.
I’ve had many twists and turns in my career path. Having recently turned 50, I’m committed to supporting wildly courageous, creative, and different people to rediscover their clarity, recommit to their purpose, and deepen the work they were born to do.
Helen, Nutritional Therapist - Stroud
“Fiona offered me intelligent responsive insights that empowered me to make decisions about what was best for me and my business. As a result, I felt I could grow it to the next stage in a way that fitted me best. Now I have more clients, am not afraid to turn work down, and am charging clients more. Ultimately working smarter not harder and actually feel quite liberated!”
Together, we can traverse
Taking control of where you spend your time and focus, so that you’re better able to harness your energy and get into a state of flow more often.
Co-creating your unique action plan to reduce overwhelm, increase flow, and be purposefully productive in achieving your goals (the goals you, not me, set for yourself that reflect your own definition of success).
Auditing your marketing to ensure your key messages resonate with your intended audience.
Raising your rates and increasing your profits, reducing your stress while creating greater ease.
Developing your team and/or network of outsourced professional contractors, so that you can focus on what you do best, while growing and scaling your business.
Learning essential financial literacy so you can make more informed decisions on what to invest, save, spend, and draw from your business.
Creating kind, healthy boundaries between work, family, social life, health and everything else, so that you’re able to be fully present with the people in your life.
Drawing on creative practices, mindset tools and breathwork, to get you out of your head and into your body, connected to spirit, so you can tap into your inner wisdom and intuition more often and reduce distracting mental chatter that holds you back.
Modelling key conversations and navigating complex or uncomfortable situations together, in preparation for doing this in your business (and life).

Essential details: 1-1 Business Coaching
Coaching is behavioural change, and this doesn’t happen in a single session. Business coaching is a three-month commitment of 6 fortnightly sessions together.
Each session is 60-minutes. If you are based in Bristol or willing to travel here, you may choose to have our first session face-to-face; thereafter, our sessions are held online, via Zoom.
Although I'm based in Bristol in the UK, I coach business owners online across the UK and Europe.
You, the business owner, know your business better than I’m ever going to know it. Our coaching is a creative safe exploration of potential and possibilities, working through hindrances and psychological resistance, to discover new, better ways of thinking, doing, and being.
Together, we develop your Clarity Action Plan. You’ll have access to your own client portal, which is your one place to login to access all our work together.
You have access to me in between sessions via email and messaging to celebrate any wins, share your progress, and seek help when required. Please note, I don’t do coaching in between sessions. I don’t want to engender dependence on me. Instead, I want to help you develop your own leadership, insights, and self-trust.
Supporting resources, information, and exercises, where relevant.
£1500 for three months of fortnightly sessions (6 sessions total). This is due upfront, in full, before we commence working together.
