Transformative coach & legal advisor
Offering space to help you gain clarity, confidence and direction in your career, relationships and life.
Corporate and commercial legal advisory.
Two decades of leadership, law and lived experience
I am an experienced executive, solicitor and university governor with over 20 years' experience supporting people and organisations through challenge, pressure, growth and change.
My coaching is shaped by formal training with Animas Centre for Coaching (accredited by the ICF, AC and EMCC), and by years of working with senior leaders, executive teams, governing bodies, Vice Chancellors, professors and students.

Thoughtful & Supportive
Meaningful change rarely comes from quick fixes or surface-level solutions. It comes from deeper awareness, honesty, clarity and aligned action. My work creates the space to better understand yourself — your strengths, your areas for growth and your real direction.
Cut through complexity to what truly matters.
Make decisions that feel grounded and aligned.
Move forward with considered, lasting intent.
At the heart of my work is a simple belief: when people are given the space and time to think clearly, understand themselves more deeply and make decisions with greater alignment, meaningful and lasting change can take place — and peace and contentment become possible.
Reflections from those I work with
"I have been doing coaching sessions with Yagiela for over 3 months now and it has been a huge support in this season of my life. Her coaching sessions are professional and insightful. The structure and format provides a valuable space for me to explore what I need to and I always leave with helpful next steps. I had never done coaching before and can definitely say Yagiela's coaching has been a welcome and useful addition to my routine."
