Hi, I'm Tanya, Thinking Partner, Mentor & Coach.
This is where we change the conversation:
So you can step into:
Before...
Or perhaps it started earlier...
I help you rebuild self-trust after the experiences that made you question yourself.
So you can move forward into your next chapter without carrying old stories from the past.
Because the real you is still there.
The new job.
The new project.
The promotion.
The career change.
The business you’re building.
The life you’re creating.
Without letting an old story decide what happens next.
The critical parent or caregiver.
The emotionally detached one.
The overbearing one with impossible expectations.
The teacher who underestimated you.
The school bullies.
The relationship that slowly chipped away at your confidence.
The moments that changed the way you saw yourself.
The job loss.
The toxic workplace.
The leadership pressure.
The career transition.
The business wobble.
We reconnect you with the part of yourself you lost underneath the fear, pressure, expectations, and doubt.
The courage you had before the world taught you to question it.
The voice you had before you learned to silence it.
The confidence you had before life convinced you it wasn’t safe.
Remember who you were before the world taught you to doubt yourself...
about your coach
Hello, I'm Tanya Sturges
So I understand both how the mind works… and how the working world actually operates.
I’m a 40-something Scottish introvert. An empath. A Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). A chronic pain warrior. Cat Mum. And an unapologetic lover of pink, tulle skirts, glitter, cake, and tiaras.
A little bit sweary… sometimes sarcastic. I’ve been told that being an empath is what makes me a great friend and coach.
I’ve been coaching since 2017 (accredited since 2020). But my work didn’t start there. It started long before that.
First with bullying at school, followed by the challenges of navigating a male-dominated working environment and senior leadership role in my 20s.
I’ve overcome imposter syndrome, bullying, discrimination, job loss, menopause at work, and the challenge of navigating full-time work with a chronic illness and disability.
I have a degree in psychology, coaching qualifications, 15 years’ experience in HR, recruitment, and leadership, and 9+ years of coaching experience.
During my career in HR and coaching, I’ve supported people through some of the biggest workplace, economic, and societal shifts of the last two decades.
I’ve worked and coached through multiple eras of uncertainty, change, pressure, and reinvention.
Now, I’m a Thinking Partner, Mentor and Coach. I’m accredited, experienced, and trauma-informed.
I blend psychology, neuroscience, mindset coaching and lived experience.
Especially those who've been knocked by life's challenges.
I don’t just coach from theory. I coach from lived experience. From the unravelling, the rebuilding, and everything it took to find my way back.
To bring out the best in people.

work with me
This isn’t about surface-level strategies. This is deep subconscious work.
Using psychology, neuroscience, and mindset coaching, we gently rewire how you think at the root. So your mind stops working against you and starts working for you.
Transforming not just what you do, but how you process, decide, lead, and respond in the moments that matter.
We meet regularly, and talk. I listen, support, ask good questions and gently challenge your thinking.
And you finally hear yourself without the fear, pressure, shame, overthinking, or noise layered on top.
Together, we spot the stories, patterns, and beliefs that taught you to forget who you are.
And we finally start changing them.
We rebuild the relationship you have with yourself.
How my approach is different
work with me
You rediscover the leader, CEO, business owner or person you secretly knew you always were deep down.
→ You trust yourself enough to be visible, make the decision, apply for the role, go for the project or promotion, or build the business.
→ You stop letting one chapter of your story define the whole book.
→ You stop thinking against yourself and start backing yourself.
→ You stop blaming yourself for everything.
→ You stop hiding in the shadows and step into your genius.
→ Your ideas.
→ Your instincts.
→ Your voice.
→ Your decisions.
→ Yourself.
→ You speak up.
→ You have the conversation.
→ You build the thing.
→ You make the move.
