Why Work With Me

I coach clients to thrive through a calm headspace, a clear direction, and tools to support & motivate. Let me help you.

Hi. I’m Helen Blantz. I am a coach specialising in wellbeing coaching.

I have a unique breadth to my professional experience, as my career spans corporate, startups, local government, third sector and small business ownership.

I have run my own events consultancy since 2006, so I understand the world of deadlines, workplace pressures, team dynamics and collaboration. As an effective coach it’s not necessary to build in-depth substantive knowledge, but what I do bring is 20+ years of conference research skills - speaking the same language as the C-level executives I work with and getting to the crux of their key challenges quickly!

I trained as a coach with CTI in 2020, and have since become a coach in Positive Intelligence (PQ). I conduct myself in accordance with the ICF Code of Ethics.

Throughout my varied career, I’ve never been afraid of failures (trust me, I’ve had some spectacular flops). I celebrate each one as a learning experience, and encourage my clients to value their mistakes, too.

When you let go of fear, you can embrace every opportunity. 

I bring a calm, reflective approach to my coaching; I have been teaching T’ai Chi for over 20 years. I am fascinated by what makes us all unique; how we all interact with our environments; how we make decisions; how we can evolve ourselves through deep inner work, increased awareness, and curiosity.

Know that I bring a powerful mix of empathy, non-judgment and tenacity to clients I work with in coaching.

We work together to bring about meaningful change.

In coaching you bring the topic, a willingness to be coached and to give 100% to the coaching partnership, along with an open approach to consider new perspectives, new possibilities.

If you decide that you want to have coaching with me, I make the following commitments to you. I will:

  • Commit to holding your agenda, even when you feel the self doubt creeping in – I will continue to advocate for you

  • Challenge you, challenge your assumptions, and challenge any outdated beliefs which are holding you back

  • Encourage you to look at your coaching topic through different lenses as we unpack issues and re-frame them so that they don’t hold you back anymore

  • Be bold and encourage you to be the same

  • Support your stretch goals, whilst also help to break tasks down into baby steps to ensure you get into action quickly

  • Hold the space for you to dig deep into your coaching topic, meeting you where you are and conducting all communications from a place of non-judgment

  • Commit to 100% confidentiality

My clients say it in their own words…

  • “In Helen I found a safe place to explore possibilities; Helen is empathetic, kind and above all encouraging. It’s clear that Helen is excited by her work; what came across was that Helen cares a lot about listening to her clients and ensuring that her clients get the most out of their coaching programme."

    Stephanie, Brighton

  • “Helen is sensitive, intuitive and supportive and I would recommend her as a coach to anyone seeking to enhance and enrich their lives and relationships."

    Katie, Oxfordshire

  • “Helen’s approach was gentle, kind and professional. The coaching sessions helped me to devise an action plan to move me forwards and to change my inner critic! In this way, Helen’s coaching was able to draw out of me things I had buried deep.”

    Isabelle, Oxfordshire

  • "I would definitely recommend Helen’s coaching programme to any business owner/entrepreneur who feels stuck – whether that be due to some old patterns of thinking; or indecision regarding the best future direction for their business. Coaching conversations certainly helped bring clarity to my business."

    Stephanie, Brighton

  • “I found the whole coaching experience with the PQ + AYM Wellbeing course were like hand and glove and supported each other very well in all the topics we covered.”

    Tessa, Oxfordshire

  • “The value I have received from the PQ programme with Helen can only be described as priceless."

    Liz, County Clare

  • “Helen is an insightful coach and clearly very well read around coaching and use of the PQ approach.”

    Sue, Oxfordshire

  • “This course has exceeded my expectations both in terms of content and delivery. The weekly activities were insightful and thought provoking. I learned so much from the weekly POD discussion and my fellow POD members.”

    Louise, Oxfordshire

  • "For anyone considering PQ Coaching with Helen, I hope you decide to enrol - and watch your life transform!"

    Liz, County Clare

  • Now on to Helen, she has been amazing. A powerhouse full of support and inspiration, calm, guiding me through the process, explaining the steps and stages and also challenging me to go further.

    Laura, Tooting

  • [...] what was exceptional about Helen's approach was how it applied to what I am trying to do and achieve rather than just a way to make me feel better or safer or more confident. It is all applied to my life and work and it has considered the whole of me in the process.

    Laura, Tooting

  • I would really recommend Helen to anyone wanting to do deep work and go to the foundations of what makes you happy, your values, what you really want to do in your lifetime and live a fulfilled life. She will help you put the structures in place, do the thinking, create your tools and help you create lifelong positive habits. You still have to do the work everyday but once they are habits, they become a part of you.
