Systems and process oriented coaching.
Consent-led, anti-oppressive sessions fostering deeply resourced, authentic and aligned action.
Our clients are system changers, purpose-led practitioners, artists and/or people who have experienced a glimmer of something important they’d like to weave more significantly and sustainably into their lives.
What is systems & process oriented coaching?
Systems & process oriented coaching takes multiple aspects of our identities, environments, relationships and systems we live within into account. Coaching sessions over time will likely touch upon all of these; from the dream/ essential level all the way to structural and systemic factors at play.
Each session is designed around what would feel like a successful outcome to you and we'd ground any learnings with actionable next steps.
What does consent-led mean?
Consent-led means centering the client’s agency within sessions as part of our contracting process and also as we begin. This addresses the invisible power dynamic that can be at play within coaching, where is might seem like the coach has answers, or that the client isn’t able to interrupt or change course.
Building consent and coming back to it when we need reminding, is a way to ensure the client is own their own unique path and able to surpass anything either them, or the coach, could have imagined.
What do you mean by anti-oppressive?
Describing this work as anti-oppressive is disclosing the opportunity to name oppression when it shows up. We all experience oppression in our lives and it’s important to factor this in to our processes as it comes up to better understand what is being encountered and how this can be supported.
There is no requirement for the client to discuss anything they are not comfortable discussing and any boundaries around this can be established as part of the contracting process and updated at any time.
How does it work & pricing
Usually, the first step is to have a 45minute chat just so you can ask questions and we can chat about what you’d like to explore in coaching. If there is time, we’d give you a taste of the coaching experience so you can get a feel for its practical application.
If it’s the right time for you to proceed, you can choose from fortnightly or monthly sessions. The ideal is a three month minimum for the fortnightly option, or six months for the monthly option, just so you can experience the full benefits but we can work with whatever is best for you at this time.
Sessions are 60 minutes long and charged at the Sustainer Rate of £150 per session, or £175 for 90 minutes. This is the full-cost commercial rate, ensuring the sustainability of my practice and making accessibility options possible.
Sustainer Rate: £150 for 60 minutes | £175 for 90 minutes
To support financial accessibility, I offer a limited number of reduced-rate sessions:
Community Rate: £75 for 60 minutes | £100 for 90 minutes (for individuals who need a lower-cost option; limited spots available, please email to check availability or join the waitlist)
Equity Rate: £50 for 60 minutes | £75 for 90 minutes (reserved for two individuals with historically marginalised identities; currently at capacity, email to join the waitlist)
Additionally, I offer one regular monthly Mutual Aid slot for individuals who are racialised and hold intersecting historically marginalised identities. This is structured as a non-hierarchical community exchange, where we agree on a mutual contribution in place of a monetary exchange. If you’d like to explore this, please email me or book a time to discuss possibilities. This slot is currently at capacity, but you can email to join the waitlist.
If you have any questions or would like to explore availability, feel free to get in touch.
All clients have access to their own personal Notion workspace where we keep session notes but can also be used as you’d like.
Sessions are invoiced monthly upfront.

These will be added below as they are submitted.
I wholeheartedly recommend coaching with Antonia. Her approach is attuned, patient and creative. Working with her has been an absolute joy. I've gained incredible insights and a strong foundation for action and clarity, which have been game-changers for me.
Antonia is fantastic at asking great questions that reveal different ways of looking at things and providing the support needed to truly progress. She listens on multiple levels and creates a solid framework for action. Her warm, personable and calm nature really grounds the conversation, and her sense of optimism are distinct aspects of her coaching style.
If you're looking for a coach who can support you to develop deep transformative insights and a helpful roadmap for action, I’d really recommend working with Antonia.

Working with Antonia has changed the way that I see and feel what is possible for me - both personally and professionally.
I've recently become self-employed. I wanted to explore how to bring - and maintain - the same energy, care and high performance that I've given to previous employers to my own business, my work and my community. I wanted support in building a life and career that fits me and my lifestyle properly.
She so naturally holds space for me to be my biggest, most ludicrously imaginative self and accepts it all in. She asks the perfect questions - it’s really challenging me to call bullshit on some of the strange beliefs I've been carrying around with me that have been getting in my way.
Staying consistent and seeing her every two weeks is helping me leapfrog towards the shiniest, brightest version of my work. She provides real practical support so that I can move at pace towards the truest, most authentic version of myself and my life.
I couldn’t recommend working with her enough. Just do it. Dare yourself. You absolutely won’t regret it.

Working with Antonia has created a significant plot point for me in this era of my life. I have been able to move through a corporate work culture that is so deeply steeped in toxic masculinity, not only in one piece, but with some fucking incredible achievements to boot including spearheading an initiative at work which has resulted in the divestment of hundreds of thousands of pounds each year from a company on the BDS list - no biggie!! All of this is connected to the benefits of coaching with Antonia.
Thank goodness Antonia was recommended to me, I’d always secretly thought coaches were bananas and would never have approached one alone. Our work together has supported me to move through my days with buoyancy while feeling grounded and in my power.
It’s been extra fun to be working with her while other people in my close-knit circle have been having sessions too, sharing breakthroughs, insights and celebrations together in our day to day lives, creating even more momentum and impact.
I'd highly recommend working with Antonia.

I have to admit that I was initially sceptical about coaching when I started working with Antonia seven months ago. Fast forward to now, and I’m on the verge of starting a new role — a significant step up in both pay and responsibility — leaving behind a nepotistic workplace where I felt alienated from the company culture at large. I’ve also begun the training necessary to transition my career, something I’ve been talking about doing for years!
Antonia has helped me channel my workplace dissatisfaction into actionable steps toward building the life I truly want. My self-belief and confidence have grown immensely, and I leave our sessions feeling motivated and empowered. I honestly don’t think I would be where I am today without her guidance.
Without her support, I would likely still be stuck feeling drained with no clear direction. Her sessions have helped me reconnect with my own sense of agency. I’m so grateful my friend recommended her to me!
I’ve already recommended her to people in my life and am more than happy to do so again here — she’s great!

Antonia is able to meet me exactly where I am moment to moment, whether I'm meeting a tangle of complex thoughts or subtle imagery. We're able to swoop and glide between the practical/strategic and the deeply imaginal, and I've not encountered this flexibility and acceptance within a coaching container before.
I'm going through a big life transition at the moment and started my own business a few months ago. Working with Antonia through this emergence and being witnessed by her in the expansion and contraction that comes along with evolution has been so supportive. I've been able to meet deep wisdom from my system and also spend time in more grounded, practical places – it's felt like a truly holistic experience. Antonia is deeply skilled in asking questions to invite you a little deeper, and a little deeper again, whilst also encouraging integration of insights into daily life. I'm so grateful for our work together so far.

About
Antonia is a relationship-centric systems thinker working with clients to facilitate access to their embedded knowledge, unique path, deeper source of energy, empowerment and future vision/s.
Coaching Values
Consent-Based:
Sessions are client-led and only the client holds the inner knowledge on what they are working towards and how to get there. The coach simply offers the tools to facilitate this process and is “walking behind” the client on the journey. Consent will be set up in the original session and form part of the core practice of the coach and how they structure sessions via permissioning.
Liberatory & Anti-Oppressive:
Bringing awareness to power dynamics, structures, and situational contexts if appropriate, in order to see clearly the scope of what is being encountered and the strategies that might be needed to boost empowerment.
Inclusive & Trauma-Informed:
Sessions will be conducted with sensitivity to diverse backgrounds and trauma histories. Establishing clarity around emotional safety, boundaries, support networks and aftercare are all part of the early stages of our work together.
Embodied and Dream Aware:
Acknowledging the body and the unconscious/ dream as part of our work together.
Systems & Process-Oriented:
Tracking the unique circumstances, learning style and growth trajectory for clients, organisations and social ecosystems. Coaching with agility that reflects emerging challenges and potential.
my methodology is influenced by — concepts of regenerative economics, mindset and wellness practices, transformative justice and politicised somatics.
I specialise in collaboratively bringing your hidden ideas and insights to the surface in a way that is recognisable and useful to you.
I approach sessions as your mirror with a memory, drawing on the bridges and constellations of information developed within our sessions together, and checking in with you to see what’s applicable as you shape your material life and vision.
Heavily influenced by adrienne maree brown’s “Emergent Strategy” series, embodied practices and related thinking, I am always developing my own knowledge around process work, organisation and relationship systems coaching and relational dynamics.
I am actively reading around and engaged in ongoing education around racial justice, regenerative economics, “feminist business” principles, indigenous governance, generative conflict and time-energy cycles alongside industry standard trainings such as CIPD.
I have participated in trainings and courses offered by The Emergent Strategy Ideation Institute, Healing Justice London, Staci Haines, Coaching for Healing Justice and Liberation, The Five Movements School of Yin Yoga, Unlearning Racism Collective, The Racial Justice Network, The Adaway Group, NADA GB and many more, to supplement my knowledge of more typical commercial systems in order to support individuals and leaders building truly transformational organisations and innovative businesses that are values-led and have the internal relational infrastructure to support the key vision/s.
With a “consent-first” approach, I am able to build trust quickly and prioritise clarity around confidentiality and transparency, utilising my position as a external person in an open way, bringing forward-movement to issues that have gotten stuck over time.
Personally, I am passionate about mental health, community-led healing and building the capacity to more easily connect with our imaginations. This all feeds into project I am developing collaboratively with others called Dreaming Movements, offering pay what you feel acupuncture to support the mind to rest, dream and imagine.
30,000+ hours holding complexity — translating and facilitating understanding, belonging and nuance.
Growing up bilingual and bi-cultural, I've always felt like a bridge between worlds. Within my British and Mexican families, translating and facilitating understanding, belonging, and nuance became second nature. Embracing multiple truths and holding complexity has always been my norm.
Today, I cultivate awareness around both the apparent (and hidden) hierarchies and dynamics as the foundation of my work with clients. Exploring the intricate and deeply personal aspects of relational organisational development and generative culture building is something I take a lot of care with.
I work closely with clients to integrate individual and group skills, making space for courageous conversations and creating structural agreements. These are practiced via the facilitation of inclusive processes that promote awareness and empowerment - one conversation at a time
Additional testimonials
“Working with Antonia was significant to the development of my interdependent creative practice as a multidisciplinary Artist. We met weekly for 11+ months while I was in the process of shaping a practice that blurred the lines of Architecture, Art, and Race. Antonia provided me with a space to think like a visionary seriously and in a way that felt genuine.
Through these weekly consultations, I was able to navigate my way into winning grant applications, gaining successful art commissions and developing workflows that suited me. Most significantly, the conversations were structured in a manner that included key milestones that developed my vision into a reality.
From setting out critical goal points and working on how to approach issues such as pay and project ethics, to providing a space for deep listening - Antonia’s approach supported my becoming an artist and educator around Black and Queer identities in a way that was both creatively engaging but also economical and safe for me.”

“I am a Coach for Artists & Creatives, working with talented individuals who are seeking support in getting out of their own way and into action towards their goals and dreams. I had recently launched my business, while simultaneously working full time as a personal assistant for a high level creative team. The amount of overwhelm and fear that I was facing in stepping away from my paycheck into my own business was shutting me down, and I was finding any and every excuse to not launch.
As soon as I met Antonia and we began working together, my entire business vision came together smoothly and quickly. Antonia is extremely skilled at combining her business savvy expertise with a creative and generous application, and through our work together, I successfully made my career transition with ease and grace.
Antonia is unlike any other creative professional I have worked with, because she is highly skilled in what I call instant energetic collaboration. I would come to our sessions with the overwhelm and brain fog, and Antonia never skipped a beat in her ability to anchor my thoughts, challenge the negativity bias that was often running the show, then redirect my energy towards my goal to launch a successful coaching business. She met me where I was, then took me three steps further. Not only is she highly skilled in this arena, but our sessions were fun and energizing, and even on my lowest days, I would leave with a big smile on my face and a reignited sense of purpose and drive.
I can say with full confidence that Antonia is one of the few people who launched me into this successful and stable career phase of my life, and I know that I would not be where I am today without her support. For anyone who is looking to make a big career change, or needs accountability on meeting their business goals, and anywhere in between, Antonia is the answer.”

“Working with Antonia has been invaluable in supporting me to take the leap to set up my own business. With her help I’ve been able to set a clear vision and work in manageable steps through the various stages of this potentially-challenging transition.
From the preparation stage, through to securing the first clients and building a team, Antonia has a brilliant skill of drawing out core priorities and values and helping to set goals in a clear and actionable way. Her personal commitment and on-going learnings around equity and social justice bring an added and unique perspective to this type of work. For me, it has included thinking about working practices, setting boundaries, creating a positive company culture and building equity throughout all layers of my business.
I would not hesitate to recommend Antonia for anyone considering making a change in relation to their work (or possibly any other areas of their life…!). Every session left me feeling energised and positive, and I’ve noticed a real transformation and a lot more clarity in the way I approach any new challenges and my working life as a whole.”

“Working with Antonia for the past year has helped me see and realise my path - she has entirely enabled a clarity in direction for myself that I’ve never been able to realise before.
I had been unsuccessfully and painfully trying to navigate the direction of my career through the fog on my own before I started working with Antonia. Our sessions have equipped me with the necessary tools to tackle career uncertainty in practical and meaningful ways - from mapping out a future vision incrementally to grounding decisions in my values and beliefs to planting my path across various touch points of my day.
Overall our relationship has led to a deeper understanding of what I want to achieve and clearer sight of what’s truly important to me. For someone who has changed their career multiple times, closely ties it with their sense of self and often feels uncertain with their decisions, building such a path is no mean feat. I know I will carry the work I have done with Antonia throughout my career as a guide and a kind reminder to always refer to the path we shaped together.”
