Body Confidence Coach

Helen Tovey

Body confidence isn’t about having the perfect body, it’s about being okay with the body you’ve got and appreciating what your body can do for you. It’s about self-acceptance, valuing yourself for the amazing qualities you already have, and knowing you’re fine just as you are.

Body confidence doesn’t come from trying to achieve the perfect body, it comes from embracing the one you’ve already got.

We:

We live in a world that attaches an inordinate amount of importance to physical appearance. As a result, most of us feel we simply don’t measure up.

We:

Imagine:

If this is you then I’m glad you’re here, because we can change all of that!

Imagine:

Z
Feeling good about yourself every single day
Z
Being genuinely happy with who you are
Z
Liking what you see in the mirror

Having an inner core of strength and confidence that is completely impervious to the opinions of others
Z
Knowing that your worth is determined by who you are, not how you look
Z
Living life your way, on your terms
Z
Not caring what others think

Getting your spark back
Z
Finally achieving what you’re truly capable of
Z
Knowing you are enough exactly as you are now

My story

My story started at the age of 13 when I was diagnosed with scoliosis. The curvature of my spine quickly worsened and I underwent spinal fusion surgery. My back was never fully straightened and I’ve spent decades trying to hide my disfigurement. Believe me when I tell you, I know what it’s like to live in a body you wish was different. Having been on my own journey to accept myself and to feel confident being me, I am ideally placed to help you do the same.

What my clients say

Working with Helen has been thought provoking and so helpful. Helen’s calm and patient approach creates a space that feels safe to talk. I’ve been able to explore things I usually find difficult, and always felt listened to and truly heard. Helen’s skills enabled me to gain a new perspective and this really has felt powerful. Thank you Helen.

I was fortunate enough to be introduced to Helen through a mutual friend. Upon our first meeting it was clear that Helen was a very good listener and had some approaches which I could use to explore and clarify the goal I was working on. Through our sessions I was able to focus on the outcomes I wanted to achieve and Helen’s questioning techniques were very helpful. I found the sessions very useful and was able to draw on the various techniques outside of the meetings to really explore some of my beliefs and values. As a result of the coaching I’ve been able to reset my expectations of the future and have reframed my longer term goals.

Helen is a compassionate coach who helped me understand the value of getting to know myself more deeply. I have started on an amazing coaching journey with Helen that has deepened for me in helping me overcome my limitations. I look forward to continuing the work with her.

I recently approached Helen for some coaching to help me with public speaking due to some past bad experiences that I felt were holding me back. I had a one-to-one session with Helen, and she carried out some mind exercises to help me to deal with my past experiences and unscramble my mind. After the session I felt like I had more confidence, and the next time I had to present to a group of people, I did not feel so worried, and I was able to speak with more confidence. I would highly recommend Helen. I was so surprised at how much this has helped me, and I recommend anyone that is struggling with their confidence to speak to Helen.

A little while ago I had some coaching, Helen made me feel really comfortable and was really interested in what I wanted to work through. I was looking to improve my health mainly looking at what I was eating. I use to enjoy 3 to 4 bars of chocolate a day. Since seeing Helen I completely stopped opting instead for 4 squares of dark chocolate. I feel incredible and have so much more energy and attention. Thank you Helen for making a huge difference in my life.
