 Your Coach:
Guiding you to adventurously pursue life

Ashley Smiling
I am an adventurous leader who believes that wellbeing isn't a destination but an ongoing journey of discovery.

With over 15 years of experience leading individuals across hospitality, social care, and education sectors, I've developed a unique approach that combines professional expertise with a passion for adventure and natural exploration.
My Professional Foundation

As a qualified Humanistic Counsellor and Transformative Coach, I bring together the precision of therapeutic understanding with the dynamic energy of coaching. This dual expertise allows me to create a safe, trusted space while challenging you to explore beyond your comfort zone.

​

My Philosophy

I believe that life is an adventure, not an agenda. Whether we're walking Dorset's stunning coastal paths or diving deep into mindset work, I approach each session with the understanding that everyone's journey is unique. Just as no two trails are identical, no two clients need the same path to their goals.

​

What Sets Me Apart

  • Adventure-Based Approach: I bring an adventurous spirit to life, recognising that sometimes the best insights come when we step off the beaten path.

  • Nature Integration: When appropriate I will utilise the healing and perspective-shifting power of the natural world.

  • Diverse Experience: My background across multiple sectors gives me a rich understanding of human challenges and potential.

  • Limited Client Base: I only work with a handful of clients at a time to ensure each receives the focused attention they deserve.

  • Flexible Methodology: From intensive single sessions to three month transformations, I adapt my approach to suit your needs.

 

My Values

  • Authentic Connection: Creating genuine, trusted relationships

  • Bold Exploration: Daring to ask the challenging questions

  • Natural Wisdom: Drawing inspiration from nature's lessons

  • Continuous Growth: Always expanding my own horizons to better serve clients

  • Individual Focus: Recognising and honouring each client's unique journey

 

My Commitment

I am committed to being your guide on the path to Fun, Freedom, and Fulfilment. Whether you're:

  • A business leader seeking clarity

  • An individual feeling stuck or overwhelmed

  • A team needing fresh perspective

  • Someone ready for profound change

I bring everything to each session;  my experience, my curiosity, and my unwavering belief in your potential.

 

My Approach

Rather than prescribing solutions, I:

  • Create a safe space for exploration

  • Ask powerful questions that generate insight

  • Challenge limiting beliefs with compassion

  • Offer fresh perspectives through nature and adventure

  • Support you in taking bold action toward your goals

 

My Journey

My own path has taught me that success without fulfilment is just a well organised to-do list. After spending years pursuing traditional success, I discovered that true wellbeing comes from aligning our actions with our authentic selves. This personal insight drives my passion for helping others find their own path to a life of meaning and purpose.
