Ingrid Greaves — Life Coach & Wellbeing
About Ingrid

Supporting you through life's most significant transitions

Supporting people through life transitions — helping them restore emotional wellbeing and confidently shape their next chapter. I offer a discreet, unhurried space to reflect, find clarity and move forward with intention.

Some changes in life arrive gently. Others arrive all at once — and leave you standing in a world that no longer looks quite like your own.

I know that feeling intimately. In the space of a few years, I relocated countries, lost my husband, and found myself rebuilding every part of my world from the ground up. There were no roadmaps, no clear answers — only the slow, often surprising process of discovering who I was becoming on the other side of loss.

What I found changed everything I thought I knew about resilience and happiness. Rebuilding isn't about returning to who you were. It's about finding the courage to step into who you're meant to be next.

I have spent my career helping people navigate change and transition, including leading transformation programmes within the NHS. Through this work—and through my own life experiences—I have seen how periods of uncertainty can become opportunities for renewal, clarity, and growth.

Today, I live in the English countryside and have built a life grounded in connection, stability, and purpose. That understanding sits at the heart of my coaching practice, where I support others to navigate life's transitions with greater clarity, confidence, and self-trust.

Who I work with

Life's most significant crossroads

You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from coaching. You simply need to be in the middle of something — and to sense that moving through it thoughtfully will matter.

Relationship changes

Marriage, divorce, separation, becoming a parent or an empty-nester — each reshapes who you are in relation to others, and who you are on your own.

Finding your way forward

Sometimes the transition is quieter — a slow awareness that the life you're living no longer fits who you've become. That feeling is worth listening to.

Retirement & reinvention

The end of a career is rarely just a practical change — it's an identity shift. Who are you when the role that defined you is no longer yours? That question deserves real attention.

Career transitions

Whether leaving by choice or circumstance, a career change asks you to reconsider what matters, what you're capable of, and what a meaningful working life looks like for you now.

Relocation & uprooting

Moving country or community can leave you unexpectedly adrift, even when the move was chosen. Rebuilding a sense of place and belonging takes more than just unpacking.

Bereavement & loss

Losing someone fundamentally changes not only your world but your sense of self. Coaching offers a space to grieve, to find your footing, and to reconcile with what comes next.

What clients say

In their own words

"

Ingrid has a rare quality — she listens in a way that makes you hear yourself more clearly. I came to her completely lost after my husband died. I left, some months later, with a life I genuinely look forward to.

Client · Bereavement & life reinvention
"

I was sceptical of coaching. I am not sceptical any more. The combination of scientific grounding and real human warmth is something I have not found anywhere else. My retirement has become the most purposeful chapter of my life.

Client · Retirement transition
"

Completely discreet, completely unhurried, completely genuine. I finally feel like myself again — more than that, I feel like a version of myself I hadn't yet met. I cannot recommend Ingrid highly enough.

My approach

Reflect. Reset. Renew.
Individual and intentional.

I don't believe in quick fixes, I use a proven coaching framework to provide focus and direction, adapting it to your unique circumstances, priorities, and aspirations.

Applying the Harvard Medical School certified Science of Fostering Happiness and Health Span, my leadership experience and having navigated profound personal transition, I bring both rigour and commitment to each engagement.

I

Reflect

We begin by creating space — unhurried, compassionate space — to understand where you truly are and what this transition is asking of you.

II

Reset

Together we gently examine what no longer serves you, and begin to find solid, honest ground from which to move forward.

III

Renew

Drawing on the science of what genuinely makes people thrive, we build a clear, meaningful vision for the life you want to be living — and step into it with confidence and intention.

"Rebuilding isn't about going back to who you were. It's about finding the courage to step into who you're meant to be next."

Considered, private sessions

We meet in person in the Cotswolds or by secure video call, working through Reflect, Reset and Renew at a pace that respects the weight of the change.

Common questions

Asked before beginning

Is coaching the same as counselling or therapy?

No. Therapy often works with the past and with clinical need; coaching works with where you are now and what comes next. My work is evidence-informed and structured, and it sits comfortably alongside therapy — but it isn't a substitute for clinical support where that's what the moment requires.

What happens in the initial consultation?

Sixty minutes, by video call, at no cost. You describe where you are; I set out how I work and what the options look like. By the end you'll have a clearer view of your situation and an honest sense of whether this is the right way forward — whichever way that falls.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on the transition. Some people want a single consultation to see the picture accurately; most structured work runs across three months in the Journey. We agree the shape at the outset and review it as we go — nothing is open-ended by default.

Do we meet in person or online?

Either. I see clients in person in the Cotswolds and by secure video call across the UK. The work is the same in both settings; choose whichever suits your circumstances.

Is everything confidential?

Yes. Sessions are one-to-one and private, and nothing you share is discussed elsewhere. Discretion is a working principle of this practice, not a courtesy.
