"Clouds come floating into my life,

no longer to carry rain or usher storm,

but to add colour to my sunset sky".

Daniella Gilbertson Coaching

BSc Hons, University of Bristol, BACP Certificate in Counselling, Coaching Diploma, The Coaching Academy.

I’m Daniella, a highly focused and committed therapeutic life coach. I've been practising for over two decades and I'm known for my positive, forward-focused approach. I believe passionately in the way I work, and have seen time and time again the transformative effects it has on a person’s life, both personal and professional.

I work with the dynamic tension between the 'zing' of coaching—that energy of forward momentum—and the necessary depth of exploring and understanding the past. This balance creates the necessary space for both insight and action.

I believe that there are no quick fixes or magic solutions - real transformation requires:

  • Your commitment to the process

  • Space for honest reflection and self-exploration

  • Willingness to examine patterns and beliefs

  • Time to integrate insights into meaningful change

This commitment facilitates remarkable understanding, growth, and lasting development.

Three words describe what I do as a therapeutic life coach:

Improve

Taking you from where you are now to where you want to go, in small manageable steps

If you are:

  • Facing a crossroads

  • Aware something just does not feel right

  • Unsure of where you want to get to

  • Needing to stop and take stock

  • Wanting more from your personal or professional life

  • Feeling uninspired and unmotivated
     

then my style of coaching is what you need.

You remain the expert in your life. We will examine in order to understand:
 

  • What's currently working for you and what's holding you back
     

  • The underlying needs, values and desires guiding your choices
     

  • Patterns that no longer serve you
     

  • The path towards your clarified goals that will lead you to fulfilment

I offer a depth-oriented, talking therapy that integrates the disciplines of counselling with coaching. Together, we'll explore your underlying patterns and emotional wounds, while harnessing your individual strengths and potential. Clarifying and then envisioning your chosen future will enable us to create the most direct path to move you from where you are currently, to where you want to be.

‘Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers.’

Voltaire

‘Whenever you want to achieve something, keep your eyes open, concentrate and make sure you know exactly what it is you want. No one can hit their target with their eyes closed.’

Zig Ziglar

I am based in central London and I offer remote, online, and walking coaching sessions typically of 1 hour in duration. We decide together the frequency of sessions, according to your needs.

Working at home

I offer a variety of packages to suit different needs, offering competitive corporate rates.

Our work together can be as brief or extended as feels right. 

Online counselling

I offer both personal life coaching & business coaching

Change happens through examining and understanding your thought patterns, embracing the challenges you face, and committing to growth. Together, we'll establish meaningful goals and create the optimum conditions for you to achieve them.

Am I the right coach for you?

My philosophy centres on honesty and openness. You'll experience both support and challenge as we explore the gap between where you find yourself and where you want to be.

Some sessions will feel difficult, others energising—but the work consistently and reliably leads to real growth and permanent change.
