I was so fortunate to hear about Victoria's coaching sessions thanks to a friend's recommendation. I was at a stage where life had brought me much joy and excitement with my family complete and a wonderful experience living abroad. But like many mums with young children I was stuck: how to move forward with my personal and professional life? And during lockdown and a pandemic?
I felt I could speak so openly to Victoria: she's attentive, discrete and dedicated. She provided that special coaching relationship, a wonderful tool which helped me analyse why I felt paralysed, where I wanted to be and help me move my life forward.
Providing encouragement and guidance every step of the way Victoria showed a real desire to help me change my challenges into success: I got a job I wanted - despite these harsh covid times - and I found a new balance in my personal life. I would highly recommend having Victoria as a coach: her sessions are that precious missing link which got me where I wanted to be.

I contacted Victoria initially about a career change but it soon became apparent that the real issue at hand was my relationship with my husband.
Victoria helped me see through the fog of being in the centre of everyday living (and the negative interactions with in that) to seeing the situation as an outsider looking in. This gave me a lot of clarity, I could see the relationship as it was and we delved in to why and how I could deal with the situation better.
Victoria helped me unravel everything and then I could see a clearer path to take. By talking things through I was suddenly able to recognise behaviours and understanding the reasons behind them was a huge step to being able to deal with them better.
The sessions are hard work, it was not always easy for me but Victoria is there all the way asking the right questions to help you get there yourself. I always felt she was really listening and felt very safe in her hands. I would 100% recommend her.
I am hugely grateful for the journey we went on together.

Victoria helped me to look at my life in a more positive way. I started off wanting a five year plan which would lead to a career change but I soon realised that so many big things were going on in my life (including expecting my second child) that actually I needed to live in the present more. Victoria’s excellent listening skills and questions led me on a journey to self reflection on a lot of the ‘negative’ things in my life, many of which I have been able to turn into positives. This new perspective has completely worked for me in my life right now and I am now able to have a word with myself when self doubt/negative thoughts arise. I will definitely be reaching out to Victoria again in the future.

Meet your coach
I’m Victoria Brunner and I coach busy individuals who want to stop saying ‘I’ll do it tomorrow’ and start taking ownership for transforming their lives today.
​
Maybe you’re feeling stuck and find yourself constantly saying ‘I just can’t do it’, we need to dig deep and find all of those things you think you can’t do, figuring out why you think you can’t, then challenging this to the point where you say ‘I can’.
​
I know what it feels like to lie awake at night feeling guilty about cancelling that dinner date with friends because you're too tired to go, feeling dread about the meeting you have tomorrow that you haven’t prepared for because actually deep down you just don’t care enough about this job, feeling so tired you can’t even remember the last time you even smiled at your partner, let alone gave her/him a kiss.
Your mind is quiet and that niggling voice is saying “I don’t want to live like this. Something needs to change, but I don’t know where to start. Ugh, I’ll think about this tomorrow” And tomorrow leads into tomorrow leads into tomorrow leads into tomorrow. Sound familiar?
This is where coaching made me sit up and say ‘Enough is enough, I’m changing this life RIGHT now.” And I did. I still lie awake at night feeling all those emotions that were there before and will always be there, but I know them, I can feel them, I am comfortable with them and they don’t consume me. I can recognise how I’m feeling, why I’m feeling that way, and I do something about it. Most of the time anyway.
​
The world is becoming more aware of the need to not only look after our physical health, but also our emotional and psychological health. It’s so easy to look on social media and think that everyone else has their life all sorted and you’re the only one that doesn’t. But this is not the truth.
​
Aside from my qualifications in coaching, I’ve worked for over a decade in Secondary schools both in London and overseas. I’ve learned how to help people live better lives through the lessons I’ve learnt from the experiences I’ve had and the people I’ve met along the way.
​
Through battling with negative thoughts stemming from huge emotional trauma from my adolescence, to leaving work and sobbing on the motorway because I’m just so unbelievably fed up of feeling so stressed and knackered all of the time– I know that life can be hard.
​
But this must not get in our way of us changing our lives for the better. Who we are and how we live is our choice. I choose to help and support others who want to embark on a life-changing journey of self development and personal growth. This is what makes me wake up feeling energised and excited.
​
When I’m not coaching, I’m usually with my husband and my twins boys, charging around South-East London on bikes/foot/scooter/boat/roller skates... Life is fully-charged and constantly busy. I’ve grappled a lot with social anxiety and a fear of failure over the years. But I always remind myself that in order to thrive I must move forward, even when I feel the most discomfort and fear, to the point of running away screaming. This is why I help my clients to get results and to transform their lives. I know the pains and frustrations and obstacles that life brings, I’ve been there myself—so I coach from a place of deep understanding and connection.
