I would recommend life coaching session with Ailsa. She is so lovely, kind, caring and easy to talk to. The sessions give you the space to open up and that leads to confidence to think about what it is you need and the courage to move towards a more positive outlook on life. TL - Education

I can't begin to express how transformative my experience with Ailsa has been. Before coaching, I had tried different techniques to manage my stress, such as signing up to the gym and changing my diet, however I then felt like I was constantly putting pressure on myself to implement these techniques and was then juggling too many things and ended up feeling guilty and not making any real progress in addressing my stress levels. My sleep was affected, my immune system was affected, my relationship with my friends, family and husband were strained, and my overall sense of well-being was at an all-time low.
From our very first session, Ailsa made me feel truly understood and supported. Her calm and empathetic nature made me feel genuinely heard. By reflecting on what I shared, she tailored each session to address my specific needs and challenges. As a result, Ailsa created a safe, non-judgmental space for me to express my worries and frustrations.
I've found that in my profession stress is quite a taboo subject, however Ailsa has guided me through various techniques and practical strategies, I learned how to manage my stress more effectively. One of the most significant changes I’ve noticed is my ability to stay calm and focused even in high-pressure situations, I’m not putting pressure on myself during these times. Ailsa has helped me reframe my thoughts, preventing unnecessary guilt and stress during challenging times. She helped me achieve a balance between my personal life, passions, and home responsibilities, alongside my identity as a social worker. I’ve regained a sense of control and balance, which has greatly improved my professional and personal life. My productivity has increased, and I now approach challenges with a positive and resilient mindset. I could not recommend coaching with Ailsa enough - it's a great investment in myself with someone who is a genuinely kind, caring, funny, approachable and empathetic person. IG – Social Work

My Journey
Ailsa Christie
I've banked over 22 years experience in Secondary Education, 17 years within Additional Support Needs, to move forward with a new way of living and working.
This followed recovery from surgery which influenced my decision to seek new settings for my skills and talents.
During my 8 years in middle leadership, I led a team of teachers and support staff within the Additional Support Centre, a specialist provision on site of a large mainstream high school. I benefited from coaching funded by Education Scotland, which supported me to fine tune my approach to my wellbeing and lead in an effective/strategic manor from within a challenging role. Coaching allowed me to be fulfilled at work during my time in post, to have clarity to see when it was time to make changes and to plan and follow through on that transition.
After much research I choose Animas Centre for Coaching's * Accredited Diploma in Transformative Coaching. An International Coaching Federation accredited provider which means I am working towards becoming an ICF Credentialed Coach.
