Transformational business coaching & mentoring programmes for aspiring and start-up female solopreneurs ready to SET UP and launch their businesses.
Does any of this sound familiar?
So you’re thinking about setting up a business or you’re in the very early start-up stages, but there are some things holding you back.
Maybe you’re being plagued by self-doubt and low confidence which makes you second guess all your decisions?
Maybe your fears (fear of failure and/or of what others think) are controlling you and stopping you from taking action?
Maybe you feel like you never have enough time and you’re super unproductive?
Maybe you find yourself procrastinating and not moving forward as quickly as you would like?
Maybe it’s your lack of clarity and direction that is keeping you stuck?
Maybe you’re wondering if you can ever make good money doing what you love?
Maybe you’re in avoidance around your finances and struggle to keep on top of them?
Maybe you find yourself self-sabotaging and playing small?
Imagine having a mindset that supported you instead of holding you back. Imagine having the courage and confidence to try new things and put yourself out there. Imagine having a plan and strategy that gave you direction.
How would that feel?
It would feel joyful, vibrant, energising, expansive, fun, powerful and empowering.
It would feel like abundant money and opportunities flowing into your business.
It would feel like absolute pride in what you’re doing.
It would feel so good!
Hey, I’m Sophie.
I’m a passionate and committed business coach & mentor for female solopreneurs.
As a solopreneur myself, I can honestly say I know exactly how you are feeling. After discovering coaching in 2017, self-funding my qualification and side-hustling my way into running my own business full time in 2019, I’ve been through all the ups and downs.
I’ll be honest – I still do! This is the reality of entrepreneurship – or solopreneurship – it’s a constantly evolving, moving beast.
This is why, at all the different stages of my business journey, I have invested time, energy and resources into mentors and coaches to help supercharge my own process of stepping up. And in so doing, continue to build the authentic life and business I truly desire.
I believe that huge amounts of fulfilment, freedom, flexibility and financial abundance are available to us through our businesses. And in achieving all these things, we (and our loved ones around us) will experience life on this planet in a much more joyful and expanded way.
I also believe that by serving my female solopreneur community and helping them to be and do better in their businesses (and lives), they in turn will be able to serve their own clients even more deeply which creates this outward ever-expanding ripple effect of positive impact.
This is why I do what I do. This is why I am so passionate about the STEP-UP process.
Now, as Mother to my little girl Delilah and running my second business (Alt Collective), I have even more energy, dedication and commitment to this mission.
How it works
I work with a select number of female solopreneurs on a 1:1 basis. When you come on board as a 1:1 coaching client with me, you’re not just getting coaching – you’re getting an experience.
You get ME and you get full support. I liken it to having a business partner – someone on the inside who gets you and your business. I like to partner with my 1:1 clients so they feel supported, loved and no longer alone.
GOALS
Our coaching programme will have specific and clear goals that will be defined at the beginning of our journey together. Throughout the process, we will constantly refer to these goals being guided by them to help us get you to where you want to be.
ACCOUNTABILITY
The most powerful aspect of my 1:1 coaching is ACCOUNTABILITY. Lack of accountability can be one of the biggest challenges for us solopreneurs so I make sure this is a key pillar in how we work together. Every session we have, I take detailed notes and we agree on follow up actions at the end.
SUPPORT
In between sessions, you have WhatsApp access to me for top-up coaching, support and accountability. At the beginning of every session, we then review your actions from the previous session, discuss your progress, understand what is holding you back and celebrate your wins
RESOURCES
Alongside the 1:1 coaching and WhatsApp support, I also give you access to a host of resources I have created especially to help you STEP UP in your business both on the mindset and strategy side.
What we'll cover
My 1:1 coaching programmes are completely tailored to your needs. At the beginning of our journey together, we will map out your coaching journey.
Some of the common coaching topics I cover in the SET IT UP programme include:

Who this isn't for
This isn’t for you if:
You are not ready for change: the very premise of coaching is change. If you are not ready to commit to change, do new things, get out of your comfort zone – then this programme isn’t for you.
Your business is already established/ a year or so old: I have a STEP IT UP programme especially designed for women whose businesses are more mature. This stage throws up different challenges and as such, I work with these ladies in a different way. Please check out the STEP IT UP programme here.
You are not able or ready to invest
You do not have the time to take action: alongside the 1:1 coaching sessions, there will be plenty of actions to do outside of our sessions, so you need to be ready to commit to this.

Testimonials
"I started working with Sophie after I went full time with my business as was in a constant state of overwhelm and near burn out. With Sophie’s unwavering support and guidance I have changed the structure of my business over the past 6 months so that I now run the business and it doesn’t run me!! As a functional medicine doctor, I am a passionate advocate for having a good work life balance but this can be easier said than done when setting up a new business and making a life changing career change. Undoubtedly investing in business coaching was the most important and valuable decision in my start up phase and I shudder to think how I would be coping if I hadn’t done this!
Thank you Sophie for all your support and enthusiasm for my business. Perhaps most importantly, I had loads of fun in the process!"
Isobel Wilson, Functional Medical Doctor – Mosaic Medical, https://mosaic-medical.com/
"Before working with Sophie, I was feeling a little frazzled and overwhelmed, unsure of the direction I wanted to take my business. I knew I wanted to build a successful business, helping, educating and empowering as many people as possible although I was totally stumped with how to do it, constantly comparing myself to others and feeling like I wasn’t getting anywhere.
During our sessions, Sophie helped me clarify and restructure my unique offering, constantly supporting me along the emotional rollercoaster of self-doubt, self-belief and self-criticism.
Sophie has totally transformed my mindset, the way I structure my services and the direction I want to grow the business. I am running my business in a way I never thought possible and couldn’t have done it without her help and support.
Working with Sophie has been the most incredible experience and I cannot recommend her enough!"
Claudia Criswell, Registered Nutritional Therapist, www.claudiacriswell.com
"When I qualified as a Nutritional Therapist I wanted to start my side hustle but didn’t know where to begin. I felt overwhelmed, wasn’t confident about how much to charge for my services and didn’t know if I could do it.
Working with Sophie helped me to address my limiting beliefs, the mindset around money and highlight my values to help to become a thriving, authentic solopreneur and offer my clients the support they deserve."
Martina, Nutritional Therapist
"I contacted Sophie after a recommendation from one of her clients. I was feeling like I could only operate at 30% and would naturally get in my own way about actually completing my ideas.
By nature I can do the dreaming but the practical and self belif WAS very foreign to me. This is where Sophie shines; I was able to practically map out a business idea, and then it was up to me to pull it off.
Sophie was there the whole way, supporting me with changing my own mindset and enabling me to take my learning and growing into my own hands.
I am able to now see things in a positive and practical look, allowing myself to map out a way to go into the wild world without Sophie.
I have launched my business, written a book and I am READY to complete my goals, all thanks to Sophie. Thank you!"
Verena, Girl About The Yard, www.girlabouttheyard.com/
"Before I started coaching with Sophie I felt stuck, I wanted to move forward with what I was building and trying to achieve but I had what seemed like an endless supply of conflicting thoughts, self-doubt and general lack of motivation.
Working with Sophie was like holding a mirror up to myself unravelling my true self from within. It wasn’t creating a list of actions to achieve, it felt like creating foundations upon which I was going to build my future. Since working with Sophie, I do more of what aligns with me and worry less about what other people think. This has enabled me to relax hugely and continue building my own business in a way that is fun and authentic to me.
Sophie supported me by working through some of the tough questions I hadn’t asked myself. She challenged me where needed and continued to hold that mirror up on things I had never even recognised before."
Lesley, Corporate Wellbeing Coach
"The 'Make it Happen’ programme has been an awe-inspiring experience, as well as a truly valuable investment. Being part of a conversant group of like-minded individuals has greatly assisted me to better navigate the steps on my own side hustle journey. Not only do they inspire you to remain committed to your goals, they continually spur you on as your side hustle cheerleaders.
I began Mastermind as a complete novice - curious with no clear direction and overwhelmed with self-limiting beliefs. Sophie provided a space for me to dig deeper and move through the blocks I was experiencing. This has resulted in me gaining the confidence to take positive action towards my goals. I have now launched my own side hustle business and already landed 4 clients in a short space of time.
I am so grateful to Sophie for giving me the tools in order to move my business forward and provide a support platform to keep me accountable."
Camilla – Platter Business
"I wanted to make contact with you just to give you an update on where I am now in my journey which all started with a phone call to you, to discuss the 1:1 coaching sessions and going ahead with them. You really have helped me make life changes!
I have 2 weeks left working with my old company until I become a full-time Classical Pilates instructor, having qualified with Equinox back in May. I will be working for them and have a few other freelance teaching opportunities in talks as well.
I am super excited to embrace this new way of life and wanted to thank you for the guidance and work that helped me change my mindset and make things happen!!
A really big THANK YOU"
Laura Bowler – Pilates Teacher
"Before my coaching with Sophie, I was plagued by fear of failing or someone realising I was a fraud, the classic imposter syndrome. I was working long long hours and every weekend, not being able to switch off, I had lost the enjoyment of what I was doing and had no clear understanding of ‘why’ anymore.
I was struggling with most was a complete lack of structure in business and my time meaning I spent a lot of time working ineffectively. I felt so overwhelmed that I had no idea what to do or where to start so did more procrastination and then felt guilty.
The best thing I have taken away affects many areas of my personal and business life but in a nutshell, it is understanding myself and my business more.
Now I use my mornings for self-care and give myself proper lunch breaks and well deserved time off in lieu. Its been a brilliant journey and I’ve learned a lot about myself and my business."
