1:1 Container
(Coaching/ Strategic Facilitation)
Space to map where you are, what you're navigating, and where you want to go.
For system changers, purpose-led practitioners, artists, and anyone who has experienced a glimmer of something important they'd like to weave more fully and sustainably into their lives.
The 1:1 Container
A dedicated space to explore what is happening in your life, work and relationships, and what else might be possible.
Drawing on systemic and process-oriented approaches, our work makes room for different perspectives, imagination and experimentation. Together, we explore the patterns and relationships shaping your experiences, creating space for new possibilities to emerge.
The process is collaborative, consent-led and responsive to your needs, moving between reflection and practical action without following a predetermined path.
Challenging linear thinking, hyper-productivity and binary measures of success
Sessions make space to explore depth, quality and impact, and to discover ways of living and working that suit you personally, where you are now. Together, we can question inherited ideas of success and explore what meaningful movement looks like for you.
Responsive, neuroinclusive and tailored to you
Every container is different, shaped around the individual and what they bring.
I draw on my training in systemic and process-oriented coaching, my experience as a creative producer, and a range of facilitation tools to meet you where you are.
I often describe my role as a mirror with tools. I'm here to reflect, facilitate and explore your world alongside you, rather than prescribe a particular path.
Together, we find ways of working that suit how you think, process and make sense of the world, creating space for mapping, experimentation and practical movement.
The best way to discover whether working together resonates with you is to book a no-obligation introductory call. It's an opportunity to connect, ask questions and get a feel for how the container might support you.
Systems aware
Our sessions often begin by building a picture of the landscape you're navigating - understanding where you are, what you're moving towards, and the obstacles and opportunities along the way.
Through a systemic lens, we can explore the wider structures, relationships and dynamics at play, recognising their scale and influence without reducing everything to individual responsibility.
This brings an anti-oppressive dimension to our work, while keeping your autonomy, consent and agency at the centre of the process.
Imagining beyond
Our work is about both understanding where you are and expanding your sense of what is possible.
Together, we make space for imagination, experimentation and emergent possibilities, exploring new ways of living, relating, creating and organising that might not yet have a clear shape.
From the smallest shifts in everyday life to more ambitious visions of the future, we experiment with how these possibilities might begin to take form, session by session.
A thinking partnership
Most of my clients work with me over the longer term, building a shared understanding of their context, patterns and aspirations. Some return seasonally, dipping in and out as circumstances change, or work with me for a shorter stretch, such as six to twelve sessions.
You might think of me as part of your personal strategy team: a trusted collaborator who brings questions, perspective and imagination, supports you to test ideas, and helps you turn reflection into meaningful action. We find a rhythm that suits your needs, with room for it to change over time.
Material change
Our work moves towards meaningful, tangible changes in your life and work. That might mean getting to the heart of a recurring challenge, making strategic decisions with greater clarity, reshaping your working life around what matters to you, or growing into an identity that gives more room to who you are becoming.
Together, we explore the underlying patterns, relationships and conditions shaping your choices, then translate that understanding into practical experiments and action. We identify what meaningful change would look like for you and track what shifts in your decisions, relationships, working conditions and everyday experience.
How does it work?
Usually, the first step is to have a 30 minute conversation so you can ask questions and we can chat about what you’d like to explore in the container. If there is time, we can give you a taste how a session functions so you can get a feel for its practical application.
I’d encourage you to get back in touch a day or so later, so you can be sure it’s a good fit for you. If the timing is right time for you to begin, you can choose from weekly, fortnightly or monthly session frequency. The ideal is a three month minimum for the weekly and fortnightly option, or six months for the monthly option, just so there’s time to balance the exploratory/ mapping work with testing and tracking new directions as you build clarity.
Once a start date and frequency is agreed I’d send over our paperwork which will include an agreement for our work together and an invoice for your first month.
Once the agreement is signed I’ll add notes from our intro chat to your private Proton drive space and share access with you. Here you will also have access to resources straight away to begin capturing what you’re already holding.
I’d then set up a calendar invite with you with a google meets link and see you there for our sessions!

Testimonials

I wholeheartedly recommend coaching with Antonia. Her approach is attuned, patient and creative. Working with her has been an absolute joy. I've gained incredible insights and a strong foundation for action and clarity, which have been game-changers for me.
Antonia is fantastic at asking great questions that reveal different ways of looking at things and providing the support needed to truly progress. She listens on multiple levels and creates a solid framework for action. Her warm, personable and calm nature really grounds the conversation, and her sense of optimism are distinct aspects of her coaching style.
If you're looking for a coach who can support you to develop deep transformative insights and a helpful roadmap for action, I’d really recommend working with Antonia.

Working with Antonia has changed the way that I see and feel what is possible for me - both personally and professionally.
I've recently become self-employed. I wanted to explore how to bring - and maintain - the same energy, care and high performance that I've given to previous employers to my own business, my work and my community. I wanted support in building a life and career that fits me and my lifestyle properly.
She so naturally holds space for me to be my biggest, most ludicrously imaginative self and accepts it all in. She asks the perfect questions - it’s really challenging me to call bullshit on some of the strange beliefs I've been carrying around with me that have been getting in my way.
Staying consistent and seeing her every two weeks is helping me leapfrog towards the shiniest, brightest version of my work. She provides real practical support so that I can move at pace towards the truest, most authentic version of myself and my life.
I couldn’t recommend working with her enough. Just do it. Dare yourself. You absolutely won’t regret it.

Antonia is able to meet me exactly where I am moment to moment, whether I'm meeting a tangle of complex thoughts or subtle imagery. We're able to swoop and glide between the practical/strategic and the deeply imaginal, and I've not encountered this flexibility and acceptance within a coaching container before.
I'm going through a big life transition at the moment and started my own business a few months ago. Working with Antonia through this emergence and being witnessed by her in the expansion and contraction that comes along with evolution has been so supportive. I've been able to meet deep wisdom from my system and also spend time in more grounded, practical places – it's felt like a truly holistic experience. Antonia is deeply skilled in asking questions to invite you a little deeper, and a little deeper again, whilst also encouraging integration of insights into daily life. I'm so grateful for our work together so far.

Working with Antonia has created a significant plot point for me in this era of my life. I have been able to move through a corporate work culture that is so deeply steeped in toxic masculinity, not only in one piece, but with some fucking incredible achievements to boot including spearheading an initiative at work which has resulted in the divestment of hundreds of thousands of pounds each year from a company on the BDS list - no biggie!! All of this is connected to the benefits of coaching with Antonia.
Thank goodness Antonia was recommended to me, I’d always secretly thought coaches were bananas and would never have approached one alone. Our work together has supported me to move through my days with buoyancy while feeling grounded and in my power.
It’s been extra fun to be working with her while other people in my close-knit circle have been having sessions too, sharing breakthroughs, insights and celebrations together in our day to day lives, creating even more momentum and impact.
I'd highly recommend working with Antonia.

I have to admit that I was initially sceptical about coaching when I started working with Antonia seven months ago. Fast forward to now, and I’m on the verge of starting a new role — a significant step up in both pay and responsibility — leaving behind a nepotistic workplace where I felt alienated from the company culture at large. I’ve also begun the training necessary to transition my career, something I’ve been talking about doing for years!
Antonia has helped me channel my workplace dissatisfaction into actionable steps toward building the life I truly want. My self-belief and confidence have grown immensely, and I leave our sessions feeling motivated and empowered. I honestly don’t think I would be where I am today without her guidance.
Without her support, I would likely still be stuck feeling drained with no clear direction. Her sessions have helped me reconnect with my own sense of agency. I’m so grateful my friend recommended her to me!
I’ve already recommended her to people in my life and am more than happy to do so again here — she’s great!

“Working with Antonia was significant to the development of my interdependent creative practice as a multidisciplinary Artist. We met weekly for 11+ months while I was in the process of shaping a practice that blurred the lines of Architecture, Art, and Race. Antonia provided me with a space to think like a visionary seriously and in a way that felt genuine.
Through these weekly consultations, I was able to navigate my way into winning grant applications, gaining successful art commissions and developing workflows that suited me. Most significantly, the conversations were structured in a manner that included key milestones that developed my vision into a reality.
From setting out critical goal points and working on how to approach issues such as pay and project ethics, to providing a space for deep listening - Antonia’s approach supported my becoming an artist and educator around Black and Queer identities in a way that was both creatively engaging but also economical and safe for me.”— IN

“Working with Antonia has been invaluable in supporting me to take the leap to set up my own business. With her help I’ve been able to set a clear vision and work in manageable steps through the various stages of this potentially-challenging transition.
From the preparation stage, through to securing the first clients and building a team, Antonia has a brilliant skill of drawing out core priorities and values and helping to set goals in a clear and actionable way. Her personal commitment and on-going learnings around equity and social justice bring an added and unique perspective to this type of work. For me, it has included thinking about working practices, setting boundaries, creating a positive company culture and building equity throughout all layers of my business.
I would not hesitate to recommend Antonia for anyone considering making a change in relation to their work (or possibly any other areas of their life…!). Every session left me feeling energised and positive, and I’ve noticed a real transformation and a lot more clarity in the way I approach any new challenges and my working life as a whole.”— GW

“Working with Antonia for the past year has helped me see and realise my path - she has entirely enabled a clarity in direction for myself that I’ve never been able to realise before.
I had been unsuccessfully and painfully trying to navigate the direction of my career through the fog on my own before I started working with Antonia. Our sessions have equipped me with the necessary tools to tackle career uncertainty in practical and meaningful ways - from mapping out a future vision incrementally to grounding decisions in my values and beliefs to planting my path across various touch points of my day.
Overall our relationship has led to a deeper understanding of what I want to achieve and clearer sight of what’s truly important to me. For someone who has changed their career multiple times, closely ties it with their sense of self and often feels uncertain with their decisions, building such a path is no mean feat. I know I will carry the work I have done with Antonia throughout my career as a guide and a kind reminder to always refer to the path we shaped together.”— HW

Antonia is unlike any other creative professional I have worked with, because she is highly skilled in what I call instant energetic collaboration. I would come to our sessions with the overwhelm and brain fog, and Antonia never skipped a beat in her ability to anchor my thoughts, challenge the negativity bias that was often running the show, then redirect my energy towards my goal to launch a successful coaching business. She met me where I was, then took me three steps further. Not only is she highly skilled in this arena, but our sessions were fun and energizing, and even on my lowest days, I would leave with a big smile on my face and a reignited sense of purpose and drive.
I can say with full confidence that Antonia is one of the few people who launched me into this successful and stable career phase of my life, and I know that I would not be where I am today without her support. For anyone who is looking to make a big career change, or needs accountability on meeting their business goals, and anywhere in between, Antonia is the answer.”— SP
