I was so fortunate to hear about Victoria's coaching sessions thanks to a friend's recommendation. I was at a stage where life had brought me much joy and excitement with my family complete and a wonderful experience living abroad. But like many mums with young children I was stuck: how to move forward with my personal and professional life? And during lockdown and a pandemic?
I felt I could speak so openly to Victoria: she's attentive, discrete and dedicated. She provided that special coaching relationship, a wonderful tool which helped me analyse why I felt paralysed, where I wanted to be and help me move my life forward.
Providing encouragement and guidance every step of the way Victoria showed a real desire to help me change my challenges into success: I got a job I wanted - despite these harsh covid times - and I found a new balance in my personal life. I would highly recommend having Victoria as a coach: her sessions are that precious missing link which got me where I wanted to be.

I contacted Victoria initially about a career change but it soon became apparent that the real issue at hand was my relationship with my husband.
Victoria helped me see through the fog of being in the centre of everyday living (and the negative interactions with in that) to seeing the situation as an outsider looking in. This gave me a lot of clarity, I could see the relationship as it was and we delved in to why and how I could deal with the situation better.
Victoria helped me unravel everything and then I could see a clearer path to take. By talking things through I was suddenly able to recognise behaviours and understanding the reasons behind them was a huge step to being able to deal with them better.
The sessions are hard work, it was not always easy for me but Victoria is there all the way asking the right questions to help you get there yourself. I always felt she was really listening and felt very safe in her hands. I would 100% recommend her.
I am hugely grateful for the journey we went on together.

Victoria helped me to look at my life in a more positive way. I started off wanting a five year plan which would lead to a career change but I soon realised that so many big things were going on in my life (including expecting my second child) that actually I needed to live in the present more. Victoria’s excellent listening skills and questions led me on a journey to self reflection on a lot of the ‘negative’ things in my life, many of which I have been able to turn into positives. This new perspective has completely worked for me in my life right now and I am now able to have a word with myself when self doubt/negative thoughts arise. I will definitely be reaching out to Victoria again in the future.

Meet your coach
I’m Victoria Brunner, and I coach busy individuals who are tired of saying, “I’ll do it tomorrow,” and are ready to take ownership of their lives—starting today.
​
Maybe you feel stuck. You hear yourself say, “I just can’t do it,” and deep down, you want to believe otherwise. That’s where we begin—digging deep to find all those things you think you can’t do, understanding why, and then challenging those beliefs until you can confidently say, “I can.”
​
I know how it feels to lie awake at night, guilt-ridden after cancelling dinner plans because you're too exhausted to go. Dreading tomorrow’s meeting you haven’t prepared for—because honestly, you’re just not invested in your job anymore. Feeling so depleted you can’t remember the last time you smiled at your partner, let alone kissed them.
In that quiet moment, a voice whispers: “I don’t want to live like this. Something needs to change… but I don’t know where to start. I’ll think about it tomorrow.”And then tomorrow turns into tomorrow turns into tomorrow…
​
This is when coaching made me sit up and say, “Enough is enough. I’m changing my life—right now.”
And I did.
​
Those feelings didn’t magically disappear—but I learned to recognise them, understand them, and manage them. I stopped letting them consume me. Most days, I still feel everything—but now I have the tools to respond instead of just react.
​
After over a decade working in secondary schools, both in London and now in Dubai, I’ve seen just how universal our inner struggles are—no matter where we live or what stage of life we’re in.
Moving countries added a whole new layer to my personal growth journey. It forced me to face discomfort head-on, to rebuild a support system, and to rediscover who I am outside of the familiar. This lived experience shapes the depth and empathy I bring to my coaching practice.
​
Beyond my professional training and certifications in transformational coaching, I also mentor and supervise trainee coaches. I blend practical tools from neuroscience and psychotherapy with emotional insight and grounded support—because lasting change needs both understanding and action.
​
I’ve had my own battles: negative thoughts rooted in past trauma, sobbing in my car after work because I was burnt out beyond recognition, struggling with social anxiety and an intense fear of failure.
I know how hard life can feel.
​
But I also know this: those moments don’t define you. They’re not the end—they’re the turning point.
​
When I’m not coaching, I’m with my husband and twin boys, now navigating life in Dubai—charging around on scooters, bikes, or whatever wheels we can find. Life is loud, fast, and beautifully chaotic. I remind myself daily that thriving means moving forward even when it’s uncomfortable. That’s what I help my clients do too.
​
Because you can change your life for the better. It’s within reach—even if right now, it feels as likely as winning the lottery. You just need the right support to take that first step.
​
And I’m right here with you.
