Life coaching · Maya Ellison · Bristol
The year you stop waiting.
I’m Maya — an employment lawyer for eleven years, until I admitted the life I’d built was the wrong shape. Now I coach people through the change they keep postponing. Practically. No incense required.
One 75-minute session. Full price list on the programmes page — no surprises on a call.
Why I do this
I billed 1,900 hours the year I burned out.
On paper it was a brilliant career. In practice I was crying in the car park of a Sainsbury’s on a Tuesday, working out how few hours of sleep I could survive on. I left law at 38 with no plan beyond “not this” — and the slow, ordinary work of rebuilding taught me everything I now coach.
So no, I won’t tell you to manifest anything. We’ll work out what you actually want, what’s actually in the way, and what you’ll actually do about it — one honest fortnight at a time.
The method
Ground. Grow. Bloom.
Twelve weeks, three phases, CBT-informed and refreshingly free of cosmic language. Here’s the shape of it.
- Ground
Weeks 1–4
Where you actually are, said out loud for once. What you want, minus everyone else’s opinion of it.
- Grow
Weeks 5–8
The plan you’d defend. Small moves, fortnight by fortnight, with someone who notices when you dodge.
- Bloom
Weeks 9–12
The change made real — said at work, told to family, booked, signed, started. Out loud, in the world.
