Annie Ashdown Life Coach . Welcome

Success Stories

"Being coached by Annie was the best
adult decision I ever made"
"I have been coached by Annie Ashdown for 3 months and have undergone what I could only call a 'personal revolution'. When I started on my first session, I living in a diminished sense of personal self worth, crouched with fear. Everyone saw me as a very successful confident University lecturer. The reality was I was in debt, taking care of my ailing parents and living with HIV and fearful of telling my family. I was bruised from a series of co-dependent relationships and had a morbid fear of flying. An invisible barrier was stopping me as surely as a pane of glass.

After our first session it became very clear to me this 'barrier' was one of my own devising and the only person stopping me from being me was myself. Annie set some carefully planned excercises and taylor made affirmations which set me out on my new journey to 'take back Paul'.

By the following week on our 2nd session I was walking taller than ever before and beginning to be open and receptive to recieve. Annie encouraged me to live in the moment, which was really hard work but with Annies patient and wise words of encouragement and support I gradually learnt to acknowledge and recieve abundance. Annie allowed me to take a long hard look at myself in the mirror and see what was there instead of what was not, or what I thought was there in my head.

Annie's approach is a very person centred and she takes the time to privilege the individual experience without ever seeming to work from a fixed blueprint or agenda. Annie works in a very intuitive holistic way. As an academic I find Annie's approach entirely liberating in that there is a discipline and intellectual rigour but with so little dogma attached. Because of her unique and extraordinarily warm and empathatic approach, I find it easy to trust her as a person involved in making your life all that it can be and to easily really listen to deeply to her advice and wisdom.

Within a few sessions I had achieved so much more than I could have ever imagined. I faced a number of my fears and won through, I conquered my fear of flying and flew to L.A. I told my family about my HIV and embarked on a journey to reclaim my spiritual self.

I truly believe being coached by Annie has been the best decision I have made in my adult life. I also believe with our ongoing work together I am becoming more and more ready to face the rest of my life with a full appreciation of all it's potential wonders."

From low self esteem to feeling confident
"One-on-one life coaching with Annie has made me a much happier person. Thanks to her coaching I understand much better what I can do myself to achieve the things in life that I really want to achieve. And now I am realising my goals one by one! Annie’s way of working gave me a lot of energy and made me become more and more determined to reach my goals.

If anybody wants to change a part of his or her life, but does not know how to go about it, I definitely recommend Annie.

Annie, thank you so much!"

From feeling stuck to leaping forward
"The reason I decided to see a coach was not because I was unhappy or wanted a huge change in my life. My decision was based upon the belief that I was capable of so much more but felt something was holding me back. I needed direction and confidence to achieve more.

Annie’s approach is very complete and has helped me on many different levels of personal development including spiritually, emotionally and financially.

She is very action orientated and ultimately the more you put in the more you get out. She seems to have an answer for everything, her depth of expertise and experience I find mind blowing.

Every week even making the smallest changes makes you feel you have moved forward to the next step. I leave every session felling completely uplifted with a very strong feeling of self worth. As a fitness professional it is as important for me to be strong mentally and emotionally as well as physically. Even after only working with Annie for a short time I felt stronger and more focused and able to consistently deliver at my very best. It feels as if she has unstuck the brakes and I am now moving forward like a speeding express as a pose to a London bus!

So many new doors have opened in my life that I now truly belief anything is possible.

I cannot endorse Annie highly enough and firmly believe that anyone for any reason would benefit spending time with her. We all deserve the best that life has to offer, Annie can guide you to be your very best!"

She helped me get some perspective and seek other areas of solace, whilst staying focused on the problems which brought me to her in the first place.

She has helped me through the personally traumatic experience of bereavment. I am convinced that Annie's strengths are her extraordinary 'people skills'. She has a natural instinct for how hearts and minds work and I really believe anybody who comes into contact with her will find it a rewarding and enriching experience."

A new start
"I have attended several of Annie Ashdown's workshops and had many one-to-one sessions with her. I regard her as inspirational. After a session with her I feel ready to face the world: my motivation topped up and a wealth of new ideas ready to put into action.

Since the break-up of my marriage three years ago I have completely reshaped my life and much of the thanks must go to Annie. She is one of the few people in my life I am really glad I met and got to know."

Finding my way out of the fog
"I attended Annie Ashdown's workshop on Life coaching because I felt I wasn't the happiest or the most fullfilled in what I was presently doing with my life. It was a great starting point to thinking what exactly do I want to do.

I found the exercises that Annie had organised for us incredibly helpful. It really got the group of people in the room to open up and share. Annie's workshop really made you think and most importantly it was actionable.

I think what I most appreciated was Annie herself. She is incredibly empathetic. Her personality is perfect for coaching because you trust her but you also know that she wil push you (which we all need).

I would not hesitate to recommend Annie's teachings to anyone."

Observing my own behaviour
"Well to begin with I found the whole group experience very inspiring comforting. It immediately made me feel I was not alone in my aspiraions and frustrations. Being able to listen to other people's viewpoint was refreshing and helpful. The way Annie led the whole group in a very non intimidating way through difficult subject matter was impressive. Annie is very good humoured in her approach but knew when to push buttons and get undreneath our protective shell to really get to the heart of our feelings."

Tapping into my abilities
"I have found Annie's workshops hugely inspiring and productive! Annie's techniques have especially enabled me to tap my ability to look inwards for ideas, solutions and inner resourcefulness. Annie creates a calming, safe environment in which to identify one's dreams and aspirations and explore some of the possible barriers we erect that prevent us from achieving them.

Annie has a warm, peaceful aura, she radiates love and positivity!

Attending one of Annie's workshops is an excellent way to spend an afternoon!."

Psychologist, London

From zero confidence to assertiveness
"My Lifecoaching sessions with Annie Ashdown changed my life. I feel so inspired by her and words can not express the happiness and joy I feel right now. I am a new and complete person. I feel energised and refreshed. Annie gave me strength to be positive and to love myself. Annie helped me realise life is what you want it to be and your dreams can be achieved. Annie taught me to take control of my life and become confident and accept myself.

I wake up daily now with a smile and always try to look good daily and walk tall. I now feel the love inside and take pride in my work and focus on setting and achieving my goals. I now feel I have nothing to be unhappy about, as my life is my own and for the first time in my entire life I am in control of my destiny and feel I will have all I want out of life.

Thank you so so much, you are a wonderful and caring person and I so much appreciate all the good work through your coaching, which has given me so much and filled me with love, energy and happiness."

From low self worth to feeling empowered
"Annie Ashdowns Life Coaching workshops offer participants a chance to focus on what they truly want from whatever areas of their life they feel need attention. She provided first rate and inspiring tools to empower and most importantly make positive changes.

Annie Ashdown is both empathatic in her approach and provides a safe, warm environment for participants to express themselves, if they so wish, or to absorb the information in a less proactive way.

Overall Annie Ashdown has an instant and natural trsut factor which makes these workshops very enjoyable and helpful. I would strongly recommend anyone who is open to the journey of self discovery to give this very special experience a go."
