Ollie Emberson

Having known Ollie for quite some time, I decided to approach him as I’d been struggling with my weight. I knew that he took his own fitness & health seriously, so thought it would be something he could help me with. Once I did, I took the plunge & started working with him.

My own personal journey started back in November 2020, starting out at 86kg and wanting to get myself into shape. I’d managed to shift 6kg and get down to 80, but beyond that seemed almost impossible. I’d tried countless times before but could never commit past the 3-4 week mark, despite trying different programmes and diets. I’d rebound at that point and put the weight back on.

When I started with Ollie, I expected something similar to what you’d receive from a fitness coach, but what I received was very different. The process was highly collaborative and Ollie took on a stance of education, critical thinking & problem solving. He said he was ‘coaching me to be my own coach’. Whilst my goal was to get down to 70kg, Ollie’s was to equip me long term so I could progress on my own in the future.

It’s very evident how Ollie likes to ‘go against the grain’. The process, along with the solutions, were unconventional and effective, often going directly against what the popular information out there tells you.

At the time of writing this, I’ve managed to get from 80kg down to 73kg without a single exercise programme or prescribed diet.

It’s been a great experience, thanks Ollie. More...

I wanted to work with Ollie as I am creating a social impact consulting company during COVID, without any other support and felt I needed someone who could help me to be clear about what I am trying to achieve and how I can optimise my performance to help me to create a great business. Working with him has been essential to discover what my blind spots are and become more self-aware of how I might be holding myself back. We’re continuing our coaching past the three month mask and are currently building up foundations to ensure I establish healthy boundaries, so I can be resilient, confident and clear in how I am bringing myself and my business to the world.

Having Ollie as a coach has already fundamentally changed the way I view myself and enter into certain situations. Ollie has challenged me to think differently, become more aware of my underlying beliefs, connect with my values & find solutions to test out through weekly tasks. In our time together I have really increased my self-awareness and Ollie continually provides new insight, perspectives & ideas every week to help me change & grow. I really enjoy working with Ollie and find his approach spot on – challenging, kind & thought provoking. More...

I approached Ollie with an introduction of myself and what I would like to achieve from coaching, which was to reorganise my evening routine and keep more focused during tasks.

On our consultation, I was confident to work with Ollie and going through the life score, I felt comfortable to be open with the process.

The first few sessions were the hardest, I had to really look within myself and at times that was hard. I felt comfortable with Ollie as he shared his perspective and set tasks for me to work on which opened my eyes to what core values meant the most to me. I was guided through the process and we spoke about my answers from my work in more depth during calls, it helped me to understand.

Working with Ollie on this journey of self-exploration has led me to feel more confident at reacting in a more logical way when outside factors are not in my control and think more positively of the things that I am in control of.

Through this experience, I am able to reaffirm to myself that I'm doing well and I am so confident of this even on the slightly rubbish days.


The thing that exceeded my expectation the most was during one particular session when internally I was not having a good day but still wanted to have a good session so put on a brave face. Ollie saw straight through that and we were able to discuss it. It felt like a real eye opener to me that I do that sometimes and am able to look back at certain situations and recognise it much easier.

The fact is that this process really does work, life coaching is useful at helping you to find clarity, of situations, of goals, it can aid you towards honing in on what matters to you most at your simplest level and it reminds you to keep chipping away at everything you want to achieve in life.


Thank you Ollie, you came at a time when I needed guidance the most and I am truly grateful for your support. I'm so close I can almost touch the light and everyday is a new learning day. More...

I would like to share my great experience with Ollie as my life coach. He guided me throughout the establishment of my own business, which is fashion brand. I’m glad I decided to work with him, because he made me feel very comfortable and guided me in the right direction. Everything was clear and after each session he gave me clear tasks to accomplish till the next session. Since I had issues with my time management and organization skills, we worked on improving them too. He taught me so many new things and made me believe in myself. I would really recommend Ollie as a life coach. Thank you for your time and great experience. More...
