About
I have worked within the Financial Services industry for over 15 years. Spending 12 successful years at Morgan Stanley, as a HR Business partner for a range of revenue generating business units and I was able to gain real insight into management and organisational challenges.
I then went on to spend time working at Fintech’s during the scale up phase, allowing me to experience a whole new perspective of the financial service industry and the different demands that a newly established business places on the leaders and teams.
In 2020, I trained as an Executive Coach with Barefoot coaching Ltd, which I loved and gave me a whole new perspective on how people see themselves.
I really enjoy developing working relationships with managers at all levels, providing a safe space for them to discuss challenges and supporting them in the development of internal relationships.

Testimonials
Team Leader at Fintech
Anya has been instrumental in helping me develop as a team leader in 2020. My confidence levels in dealing with all of the difficulties and stresses in the role has grown massively. Weekly mentoring and coaching has helped me deal with a long term problem I had in my team which I had basically not tackled, the reason I didn’t know how. Through continuous coaching I was able to face my fear and tackle the issue with massive success. I astonished myself to be quite honest. However this would not have happened if I hadn’t had the support from Anya. From feedback to delegating, dealing with difficult situation or people to just being happy with my own effort and not continually berating myself I don’t know what I would have done without her help.
I can recommend Anya to anyone in my position who wishes to grow and develop themselves in their current role.’
Testimonials
Head of Operations at Fintech
I received both group and individual coaching sessions with Anya. Both had a huge and lasting impact on me.
In the group coaching Anya brought a group of people together who all wanted to do an amazing job but needed to bond as a group to truly become a high performing team. The group was made up of various levels of management from Heads of to Team Leaders with varying levels of experience in management. We had weekly meetings and coaching activities were planned for each session that included how to self-coach, understand our teams motivations and keep them motivated, be our own observer and manage difficult conversations.
I think what was most surprising about the sessions was that we were learning new techniques to make us better managers but were bonding more and more as the sessions progressed. We found ourselves turning to the sessions as a mind break taking comfort in the fact we were all facing similar challenges and stresses and it was ok to be a manager and be struggling at times. Anya’s sessions helped us break through barriers which enabled us to become vulnerable with each other which built trust and made the team much closer. I would recommend this for any group to become a truly high performing team.
Testimonials
Renewal Sales Team Leader at Fintech
I have been fortunate to work closely with Anya over this last year. Without question, I have become a better manager as a result of Anya’s guidance and coaching. I believe the techniques and approaches practiced with Anya has helped me to communicate clearly with my team. She asks powerful questions which dig deep in to the root of the matter and also allows me to see things from a different perspective. After my sessions with Anya, she has left me with a positive mindset and a sense of empowerment.
Anya is a good listener and a very warm hearted person who always creates a safe space to open up. I believe Anya was always meant to be a coach. I find myself often thinking about her words, remembering them and acting upon them. I am forever grateful for all the help and support she has given me over this past year.’ –
