Dr Vikki Burns
Lead Coach at Wembury Coaching
Are you a busy professional who is fed up of feeling overwhelmed, undervalued, and exhausted?
Are you living the life that you dreamed of but now finding yourself questioning whether you can keep this up?
I can help you remember what you love about your life and achieve your goals with less stress.
How you're feeling is normal
I work with clients across lots of different sectors from universities and public services to large and small private companies, and wherever they are based, people are saying the same things.
There's too much
to do
I don't have time to relax and have fun
People don't
value me
I'm not good enough to be here
We tell ourselves that things will be easier if we can just get through this next few weeks... But that milestone comes and goes and the to-do list just gets longer.
The good news is that you don't have to feel like this
You don't have to wait.
You can feel better now (and still achieve your goals).
Why choose Wembury Coaching?
Senior professional experience plus life coach training
I've had a successful career, achieving full Professor in a world leading university. I mentored senior staff to promotions and national awards. I am now a double-accredited life coach, so I know how to help you achieve your potential while keeping it fun.
Develop your reflective practice as well as expert support
One-on-one coaching is amazing, but I want to you to be able to look after yourself without me too! I teach you how to understand your mind and coach yourself to achieve your goals.
I want you to thrive, not just to cope with adversity
My coaching isn't designed to make you "resilient" so that you just cope with more and more difficult times. I help you feel empowered to support yourself and change your experience.

"Vikki's group coaching has helped me a great deal in dealing with doubts and impostor syndrome... It has helped me focus on what is important and understand the research process in terms of balancing other aspect of life with work. I could go on and on, but I'm glad I've attended and always look forward to the next meeting."

"I’m really glad I took the opportunity to have this coaching. I had been made redundant and started a new job. The coaching sessions allowed me to manage this better then I would have otherwise. Vikki helped me realise that the feelings of others are not in my control, but my actions are."
