Annie Fontaine Life Coaching

I have enjoyed my sessions with Annie and I have learnt so much about myself. She is so resourceful too, she had learning materials to support each part of my journey of self discovery. All if this is tracked on a website and you can revisit it all at any time. She is motivating and empathetic and understood me. I felt really seen. The course of my therapy changed a bit over time but Annie adapted to my needs and was also supportive between sessions over email when I was struggling. More...

Before Annie my life was consumed with anxiety. She has helped me take back the reins and as a result improved areas such as my relationships with loved ones, self confidence and general frame of mind. The only thing I regret is not doing it sooner! More...

Quite a big statement to make but Annie has genuinely changed the way I think in life. When I first met her I thought there would be no way I could start to think differently and more positively but I couldn't have been more wrong. Very upfront and honest, Annie is also very approachable and I feel like I could trust Annie with anything. I couldn't recommend Annie any more to others who are currently struggling or just want to do some CBT. More...

We all have that one friend. You know the one. She's the one that when you are out to dinner, ritualistically drowning your midlife crisis in a bottle of 5-buck chuck, who will tell you straight to your face 'hoist up your big girl panties' and get on with it. We all adore this friend because they are the person we truly need when we are hurting, lost, or on the brink of jumping because at 40 you realize you no longer like men, want to sleep with the wife of the guy who was your husband's best man at your wedding and live in a cottage somewhere deep in the woods. Annie is that friend... you just pay her to be your friend. But unlike your wise friend who will tell you what you 'should' do, Annie provides you with the tools to actually get there. She is no-nonsense, so if you're looking for a warm cuddle through your crisis go elsewhere. But... if you truly want to move forward and have success with whichever ailment you have selected to keep you up at night, when you already look like hell from lack of sleep, then Annie Fontaine is your woman. I didn't achieve overnight bliss with Annie, but she set me on a path to do my own work for the days, months, and years to come, and for that I'm forever grateful. More...

I have been working with Annie Fontaine since May 2021, initially for grief, anxiety and panic attacks - Annies coaching was significant in getting through this really difficult time in my life - we have worked on so many things and I am feeling in a much better place to deal with whatever life throws at me.

I still work with Annie but this has now morphed into coaching around setting up my own business - Annie has been amazing, ensures I focus on the right things and is great at keeping me on track. I highly recommend Annie, she is an amazing all-round coach and has the tools and experience to support with so many different aspects of life. More...

Excellent follow up . Professional and friendly . I look forward to working with Annie in the future

3 months with Annie have been instrumental in changing my outlook, attitude and quality of life. I lacked confidence, suffered with anxiety and was missing out on so much before. Annie is lovely to work with, being kind and direct she gets to the core areas to concentrate on and is thorough and supportive. I'm so glad I invested the time, money and effort with Annie because it has certainly been worth it. More...

From the minute I first spoke to Annie I knew she was the right person to work with me. I had just about talked myself out of this whole 'counselling' thing when she rang me and within no time at all she had changed my mind! She felt different to other therapists and I immediately felt at ease with her. I had approached her after going through a traumatic event in my life but as the weeks went by the sessions grew into so much more than just getting over the trauma. She was right when she said that the sessions would be an investment into my future. I think Annie is quite intuitive and she always manages to find the right words to describe what I can't sometimes put into words. There is hard work involved but despite feeling slightly overwhelmed at times, I always leave our sessions feeling more confident, upbeat, inspired and wanting to do my best. I couldn't really ask for more from a therapist. More...

I’m so glad that I found Annie on Bark when I started this year feeling totally demotivated and tired of life.
Annie quickly identified that I was people pleasing which was burning me out, something I wasn't aware of. Her coaching has also given me the skills to break negative thoughts down and reframe them, reprogramming my mind to be a happier and calmer place. It sounds strange but I didn’t realise I was supposed to actually enjoy life, both at work and outside of it. Annie has helped me realise now that I have far more control over how I feel, revisiting the techniques regularly she's helped me to form healthier habits and stay on track. I feel lighter and happier. I can’t recommend Annie enough. More...

Executive coaching
I work in healthcare and I came to Annie as I wanted to explore expanding my portfolio career and to gain more confidence, to understand my skill-set, and to discuss work life balance. I have a young child and I was struggling to make it all work.
Annie Is a godsend. She’s personable, charismatic and her sessions were fun. It took 3 months to complete with a session a week. 50 mins is enough time and zoom is excellent. I was supported with the regular work sheets covering different topics that came up ; things like confidence building techniques and psychometric tests. Anxiety issues and triggers in my relationships were all covered. I now know what I want to do and I can’t recommend her enough. More...

Annie is a great coach and I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in self development! I initially started working with Annie to gain clarity on my career but our work quickly expanded into general self development. I always thought of myself as very self aware but through our sessions we identified some blind spots around people pleasing, core values and confidence. Annies straight talking, balanced with non-judgmental and warm approach helped me begin to explore and prioritise my needs and wants. Look forward to working with her again in the future! More...

Thank you it was a pleasure to meet and work with you.

I have been struggling with anxiety for a few years, however, I did notice a difference after COVID-19. That's when I contacted Annie and it was the best decision I could have taken. She has helped me immensely. She is understanding and honest. She has helped me with my anxiety, low self esteem and getting out of that "I'm lost, not sure what's happening" phase that I was in. It was not a quick fix, it was a process that needs to be practiced every day and that's what's life changing. Highly recommended!!! More...

Annie has been fantastic in developing my confidence and sense of self, especially working on my values and helping me in challenging experiences at work! She changed my life. Thank you

Annie has changed my life for the better, I was low in confidence, struggling with my anxiety’s and depression, and it was effecting my work. After 3 months I’m able to handle whatever life throws at me. More...

We used Annie as we were stuck in a rut with our relationship and it was beginning to impact the whole family.
She helped each of us to understand the other better and gave us lots of practical tools to improve not only our relationship with each other but also with our children.

Annie helped me work through a difficult time when I was separating from my partner of 10 years and after giving birth to our third child.

I felt a genuine connection with her as she seemed to understand where I was coming from and was able to coach me through my emotions and thoughts.

She provided me with the tools to enable me to change my thought process and I can safely say that these past 9 weeks have been tough but would have been a lot tougher without her help.

I would highly recommend her to anyone who is going through a dramatic change in their lives. More...

Annie has been a life changer for me. I really needed help and she has given me the techniques to get on top of my issues. This is something I have to deal with daily but I now have the skills and the knowledge to use them in my day to day life. I am ever so grateful I found Annie. I needed some straight talking too and I certainly got that! I looked forward to my sessions, although they were hard, challenging and tiring for me but we had fun and laughs too. I can’t recommend her highly enough. More...

Annie’s life coaching has changed my life for the better - in the past 3 months I’ve developed into a whole new person, I’m so much more confident at work and in my relationships and my quality of life is so much better. I can’t thank Annie enough for helping me find within myself what I would’ve struggled to find on my own. Thank you Annie! More...

Annie has really helped me discover more about the way I think. Having struggled with depression and anxiety and tried several therapists, my work with Annie’s guidance through life coaching has been the most impactful.

Life changing... I found myself in a dark place for a number of reasons and was offered tools and support for the big issues in my life and the small, even received help with problems I didn't know existed! Really has changed everything.

Fantastic she changed my life turned me into happy sole again I lost everything she helped me build my life back up and become like a normal person again no more lies no more exaggerating she is just so fantastic Thankyou so much highly recommended

I started working with Annie after suffering a bout of depression in early April 2021. Annie help me identify what has been triggering my Anxiety and Depression over the years and help me to develop tools and techniques that have tackled my underlying. I am now much more confident and focussed in Life and in Work. More...

Annie has been great. From the first time we spoke she seemed to know how to address immediately the issues I was having. Her straight talking, no nonsense approach worked so well for me . I'm 2/3's in and feel in a much better place and thinking much more clearly. Would recommended highly More...

I have struggled with anxiety and other issues for a number of years and have tried counselling and other things before but since seeing Annie my life has transformed in the space of 3 months. My confidence and state of mind are so much better and my relationships with my wife and kids have improved immensely. A combination of her manor, the materials she uses and work and reading you can do on your own in between sessions are a fantastic combination and I would highly recommend anyone no matter where you are mentally or what issues you have to see her. I have seen many people to compare Annie to and she is truly fantastic at what she does. This is not a quick fix either Annie provides you with the tools to change your life for good and I am so thankful that I decided to see her!! More...

Annie is approachable, honest but kind and really took her time to help both myself and my partner navigate through our poor communication skills and separate personal issues to enable us to work through our relationship problems. At no point did she ‘take sides’ or make either feel less valued/ listened to and at no point did joint sessions feel like a shouting match!
I’m so grateful to have found Annie and would highly recommend her to anyone, whether it be for personal or couples life coaching. More...

Annie was brilliant for my 14 year old daughter who was struggling with anxiety during lockdown. It was a safe space for to share her worries and fears and Annie provided a wealth of resources and strategies for her to use in managing her emotions and gaining her confidence. I would highly recommend Annie for struggling teens or in fact anyone who needs help, guidance and support. More...

I started seeing Annie in the new year when I was under a lot of stress from work and needed help with managing it.

It’s hard to describe how much she has helped me in every aspect of my life. I am overall a much happier person that can not only manage the pressure of my job, but also find gratitude in all of the small things.

If you are considering seeing a life coach, I cannot recommend Annie enough! More...

Great services, would recommend to all friends and family

Annie has helped me greatly with my anxiety.
thanks you so much

I've really enjoyed my sessions with Annie. I've learnt so much about myself and what changes I want to make, to be the best version of me.

Annie is easy to talk to too and her home truths are exactly what the Dr ordered!

I look forward to my weekly sessions and continuing on my journey with Annie's support.

If you want to make changes to how you've been seeing yourself or how life's going, I couldn't recommend Annie high enough. See her and start making positive changes today! More...

Working with Annie has been absolutely amazing. Through our online sessions, she has helped me see things more clearly, figure out how to prioritise myself, and has given me great advice about starting my career. She has tailored everything to me specifically and was always happy to help if/when I needed extra support. I am now so much happier in my everyday life and excited about my future. Annie has completely changed my life, and I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone. More...

This has been such an enlightening journey of discovery for me; Annie has helped me to understand my behaviour and how it was preventing me from being really fulfilled, also how it impacted on other people, especially my partner. Living with anxiety, fear, not communicating, bottling up emotions are all very draining, not having self confidence causes negativity, these things leak into everyday life often without us being aware. I certainly wasn't, already I am more positive, and more in control of my life; reading the self help/behaviour sheets or books, then putting it all into practise - actions. It really is a case of what you give out you get back. After my 1st call with Annie to discuss working together, I came off the phone feeling uplifted and I knew it was going to be a good working relationship to help me get to good happy place. I was right! More...

Thank you Jenny :)

Annie is straight talking, confidence boosting and unafraid to ask you tough questions. Since I started doing sessions with Annie not only have I felt a massive difference in how I feel about myself, but others have noticed my physical difference. I hold my head higher, look more confident and take the leaps I was scared to before.

I was unsure about life coaching and was secretly quite sceptical when I started my sessions. But the whole process has made me more self aware and changed me for the better.

I would encourage others who are feeling a bit lost, or who feel a bit powerless sometimes to get in touch with Annie. More...

Annie is a very approachable and personable coach. Annie uses an honest approach and makes you put things into perspective which helped me personally to take a step back and re-think the main matters that are fundamental to myself. Using various methods to improve long term wellbeing, I highly recommend Annie as a well rounded coach to help you to make real improvements and find opportunities to learn new things about yourself. More...

Although we haven’t worked together for very long, Annie has already helped me so much, is supportive and has given me confidence that I will be able to improve my life and stand on my own two feet

Decided to start seeing Annie again after some time away and she was just as effective online as she is in person. Her sessions are extremely productive and I always leave feeling revitalised with new knowledge and things to implement to improve my happiness. Cannot recommend enough!!

I’m so pleased to re connect and continue going from strength to strength with you !

I would definitely recommend Annie as a life coach. She is very easy to talk to and has the ability to assess and pin point issues quickly and uses a variety of approaches to maximise self reflection and personal development, which is open and honest, as well as empathetic and direct- when needed, which is what I wanted. I really responded to her non judgemental but honest approach. If anyone is debating whether to do it, I would say go for it and give it a try. It changed my outlook and gave me the confidence to make some significant decisions about my work life and how I see myself. More...

I found Annie at a time when I REALLY needed support and guidance, and thanks to our sessions together I have now found the courage to embark on a fantastic journey of self-improvement that otherwise I would have never considered. I cannot recommend Annie enough. Her honesty, sense of humour and ability to see through people are incredible, making every session very enjoyable. 10 out of 10! Thanks Annie More...

Thank you Steve. It was a pleasure to help you find some clarity and I look forward to working together again down the line.

Wonderful experience, really great from start to finish!

Annie makes you feel very comfortable to be yourself, is approachable and provides lots of material to help you through the process!

The investment is worth it! Since July I've been working with Annie on a number of areas, most notably my purpose (inc. my long held desire to change career), confidence and anxiety. She's given me the clarity to understand who I am, what makes me tick and what I want to do with my life. She's also given me the confidence to be proud of that and to not feel the need to apologise / explain myself. She's easy to talk to, non-judgemental, a good listener, direct, interjects when she needs to and offers a different perspective on matters. I'd definitely recommend Annie's life coaching services!
