Liz Balmford:

Confidence and Business Coach

I am passionate about helping people to be their best… the powerful transformations I've seen take place as a result of coaching continue to inspire me, so I'm on a mission to bring coaching to as many people as I can.

My own experience of coaching has taken me from an insecure person to one who absolutely knows that if I stretch myself I can achieve more than I ever thought possible.

I get an enormous buzz from helping people find their own answers.  I'm contiually delighted by the results of a well-phrased question or a well-timed silence.


International Coach Federation


I am a member of the International Coach Federation and have an ICF-recognised qualification: Certificate in Professional Coaching Practice.

I'm based in Sonning Common, so most of my clients come from Berkshire, Oxfordshire or Buckinghamshire.  However, this process can work just as well over the phone, so there are no geographical constraints.

— Chris, teacher

"Almost without realising I'd done it, even before my sessions were completed, I'd designed and put on a show and got myself up there on stage where I want to be."
— Beth, singer

"The ultimate outcome for me was finding myself again.  I am now in a position I am happy with and ready to take on the future.  I am living my life and not merely existing in it."

"Working with Liz has woken up the giant in me; she has guided me to a point of no limits in all areas of my life.”

"I am more driven now — due to facing some internal fears that have been buried for a while. It is also great support to have Liz to release to... there 'aint no hiding!!"
— Naomi, singer

"Professionally and personally, the benefits of Liz’s sessions have been unexpectedly profound and continue to reveal themselves."
— Robbie, artist
