About Claire Bradshaw Associates

Claire Bradshaw Associates is a boutique coaching and training consultancy founded by Claire in 2014 and built on a core belief: transformation happens when we co-create spaces where people feel deeply heard and where, with the gift of our unwavering attention, they can do their most powerful thinking. This philosophy is at the heart of everything we do, from our one-to-one coaching and coaching supervision, to our high-quality accredited training programmes, to the Consciously Connected Coaching Collective.

Our approach is rooted in spaciousness, connection, nature and deep listening and these guiding principles shape our work and relationships. We believe that in a world full of distraction and over-stimulation, creating moments of intentional pause and reflection are quiet acts of rebellion. Nature is our powerful partner in this and coaching outdoors is a central feature of the programmes we offer you.

We believe in the power of creativity too, to unlock awareness and connect people to what truly matters. In many of our sessions, you’ll find us sharing words that speak to the heart of the work and encouraging participants to find their ways, through images, poetry, stories and metaphors, to express their learning and intentions.

Our team brings a wealth of experience from across sectors, including health, education, consultancy and organisational development. With a strong foundation in values-led practice, we support individuals, teams, organisations and networks to align what they do with who they are and what they value and to make courageous choices which have real impact.

We work with:

• New and senior leaders looking to enhance their effectiveness, unlock their potential and develop a coaching-led leadership style

• Independent consultants seeking to grow their business in values-aligned ways

• People from all backgrounds who want to become coaches, and experienced coaches who want to deepen their practice and invite nature as a partner into their work

We are committed to ethical, evidence-based practice. We subscribe to the Global Code of Coaching Ethics, and all our coaches are trained and supervised to the highest professional standards. Our team holds a range of qualifications and accreditations, including EMCC Senior Practitioner, Post Graduate Certificate in Coaching Supervision, EMCC Supervisor Accreditation, Advanced Certificate in Executive Coaching and Mentoring, ILM Level 7 in Executive Coaching, NLP Master Practitioner training and MBTI Practitioner credentials.

Based on the edge of the High Peak and close to Manchester, we draw inspiration from the natural world and the energy of the city. Whether working in-person or online, indoors or outdoors, our aim is to create meaningful, connected coaching experiences that really make a difference.
