Discover how Deborah Edwards blends counselling and coaching to offer a unique path to self-discovery and transformation.
It was the end of a challenging term when Deborah Edwards had a realization that changed everything. As a classical musician and secondary school teacher, she had always been driven by a passion for guiding others. But over the years, she noticed something troubling: the emotional toll that both students and colleagues carried. It was then that the seeds for what would eventually become Deborah Edwards Coaching Ltd were planted. Her own life experiences—personal loss and significant trauma—made her deeply aware of the hidden struggles many people face. This understanding, combined with her rich background in education, counselling, and coaching, gave her the tools to create a truly reflective and holistic coaching practice, one that reaches far deeper than conventional life coaching.
Deborah’s path to coaching was not a straight line. After years of teaching and playing music, she ventured into counseling to help people overcome the silent struggles she saw so often. Her experience as a teacher made her acutely aware of the mental health needs that were neglected, both in school and in broader society. As a mother and someone who had lived through traumatic physical and emotional challenges, Deborah felt a profound desire to support others in navigating their own struggles.
Her mission is clear: to provide a reflective coaching service that helps individuals gain a deeper understanding of themselves, so they can move forward equipped with the emotional tools to thrive. As Deborah explains, “The better we know ourselves, the happier and healthier we will be.” This belief anchors everything she does.
Deborah’s journey to creating Deborah Edwards Coaching Ltd was filled with personal and professional hurdles. Numerous physical and emotional challenges that truly tested her resilience. Yet, instead of retreating into despair, Deborah took these experiences and used them to fuel her purpose. The coaching and counselling qualifications she obtained along the way were not just academic achievements—they were proof of her ability to not only survive but thrive.
Through it all, Deborah found that life isn’t about avoiding pain—it’s about understanding it, processing it, and using it as a springboard for personal growth. This wisdom became the foundation for her unique style of coaching.
The breakthrough moment came when Deborah realized that true change requires not just an action plan but deep self-reflection. While traditional life coaching focuses on future goals and action steps, Deborah’s reflective life coaching blends coaching with therapeutic counselling techniques, encouraging clients to explore the root causes of their challenges.
In her sessions, clients aren’t just told what to do—they’re guided to understand why they feel the way they do, what beliefs are holding them back, and how they can reshape those patterns. This approach of empowering clients allows for more sustainable, lasting change because it helps people reconnect with their authentic selves, rather than just chasing external goals.
What makes Deborah Edwards Coaching Ltd stand out is its unique ability to combine coaching and counselling. This integrated approach means that clients don’t just work on what they want to achieve—they also get to the core of why they might be stuck. Deborah’s background in psychotherapy and her years of personal experience allow her to work with individuals from all walks of life.
She offers one-on-one coaching in person or online, but it’s her retreats that truly exemplify the depth of her coaching philosophy. Drawing on her expertise in sound therapy and therapeutic journaling, these retreats provide clients with a holistic environment where they can reflect, heal, and grow. With a deeply personal and intuitive style, Deborah tailors every retreat to the needs of the group, making each experience entirely unique.
Deborah is not just a coach—she’s a mentor, a guide, and an advocate for emotional growth. Her clients often describe her sessions as transformative. “Deborah has an amazing ability to listen and help you understand your own emotions,” says one client. “She doesn’t just offer insights; she helps you uncover your own power.”
Her own resilience serves as an inspiration. “After everything I’ve been through, I know what it’s like to feel lost, stuck, and overwhelmed,” Deborah shares. “That’s why I’m so passionate about helping others discover their strength and navigate their challenges with confidence.”
