“By the rules of aerodynamics, bumblebees shouldn’t fly”
Early experts said its body was too big and its wings too small…
The Bumblebee flew anyway.
Anna Eaton
Integrative Psychotherapist | Executive Coach
Welcome! I’m Anna, founder of The Coaching Hive, a thinking space to slow down, make sense of what you’re facing, and find your way forward.
Like the bumblebee above, you may carry thoughts, feelings and beliefs about what’s possible. As a psychotherapist and executive coach, my aim is to work alongside you so that, together, we can explore these with compassion and curiosity, loosen their hold and help you find your own way to take flight.
I bring more than 20 years of experience in people leadership roles across financial and professional services. Today I coach partners and senior leaders at one of the world’s largest professional services firms.
I am also a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist. This part of my work offers a different kind of space: one where you can deepen your understanding of yourself, explore the unconscious patterns shaping your life and spend time with difficult or distressing emotions. Through this process, you can begin to move towards healing, improved mental health and a greater sense of wellbeing.
Much of my earlier career was spent helping business leaders navigate large complex changes affecting their people, including organisational transformation, restructuring, and cultural and behavioural change. Over time, I’ve discovered that the work that most inspires me is individual transformation, helping people uncover what they’re truly capable of, expand their sense of what’s possible and take purposeful action towards success that feels as fulfilling on the inside as it looks on the outside.
At the heart of my work is the belief that deeper self-understanding creates the possibility for change. It is a privilege to walk alongside clients as they step away from the noise, listen more closely to themselves, and, like the bumblebee, discover their own capacity for flight.
