Hello! Want some support as a freelancer?

Here at The Freelance Lifestyle HQ, we’re all about building a freelance life that actually works for you here. Less ‘perfect day on a beach with a laptop (ahhh sand in the USB port!) and more ‘having a flexible plan for finding clients that doesn’t burn out you out’.

I’m Emma Cossey – freelance coach, mentor and big fan of doing business your way (especially if you’re neurodivergent, introverted or overwhelmed by all the “shoulds”).

Since 2009, I’ve helped freelancers go from frazzled to focused – through coaching, community and a sprinkle of tech wizardry. I also now offer workplace coaching for neurodivergent freelancers. 

Is Coaching Right For You?

It might be if:

• You’re ready to ditch the 9-5 (or make freelancing feel less chaotic)

• You want accountability, confidence and practical support

• You’re juggling freelance life with ADHD, parenthood or burnout

• You want a cheerleader and someone who gently holds you accountable without the guilt trips.

What I Can Help With

• Helping to identify goals and an action plan
• Identifying income streams to improve income flow
• Developing regular routines to make business and life go smoother
• Creating boundaries and structure for better work/life balance
• Implementing a pitching routine to avoid the feast or famine cycle
• Identifying limiting beliefs that are holding you back (e.g. imposter syndrome, confidence at networking events, self-belief)
• Social media tools and online workflows to improve the productivity of your business
• I also accept Access to Work, and work with many neurodivergent clients creating custom coaching programs for them, including workplace coaching.  

What I Can’t Help With

• I can’t promise you that I’ll turn you into a millionaire. In fact, I can’t even type that out without cringing. Some of my clients do happen to earn six figures, and others have a lovely income that allows them to pay the bills, have a little extra to do nice things, and still be able to work in a way that works for their lives and responsibilities. Success is different for everyone, but I’m probably not the right choice if hustle and six figures are words on your dream board. 
• Coaching is about creating a space for you to find the right solutions and next steps. I do have lots of resources to help on the business front, but in coaching sessions, the focus is on finding the right method for you, not applying a cookie-cutter template. 
• I’m here for accountability and support, but unfortunately I can’t do the actual work for you. However, I know lots of wonderful freelancers I can recommend if you do need further support with actioning. And if you can’t work out why you struggle to action things – we can look at that too in coaching! 
• I’m not a financial or legal advisor, but can recommend people who are. 

I also wrote a book all about freelancing, taking you through all the steps to get started! It’s available on Amazon in Kindle and paperback form.

Got an Access to Work grant?

I offer bespoke ADHD coaching packages for those who have an ATW grant, just get in touch to discuss more. 

What a Session Actually Feels Like

My goal is that you come away from a session with a plan forward that you’re excited to implement. Sometimes, that looks like us mapping out that plan in Zoom whiteboards if you’re visual. Sometimes, it’s setting you a set of fun mini challenges to get the dopamine flowing. Sometimes it’s getting the sticky notes out. It’s different for everyone, and it’s important that we find a way that works for you – not apply a cookie-cutter template.

It’s not all about practical steps either. Sometimes, the biggest changes come from understanding yourself better, whether that’s how you stay motivated, a limited belief that no longer serves you, or knowing your values and how it impacts your decisions.

I’ll send you a thorough questionnaire beforehand, so I can really get to know your business, goals and how you work best. That means on the call, we can dive right in!

You can be in your pyjamas. You can have a brew on the go. You can brain-dump at me for ten minutes before we figure out what you actually need. You can turn up with a list of different questions to work through. That’s fine. That’s kind of the point.

It doesn’t end with the session either. I’ll send you notes, we can check-in, and if you’re in my community, you can carry on getting support from others too, so you see it through.

What Happens Next?

1. Book a free 15-minute discovery call It’s just a chat. No pitch, no pressure, no awkward sales moment. We figure out if we’d work well together and what kind of support would actually help you. 

2. We discuss the right option for you Whether that’s a one-off Power Hour or something longer, after we’ve chatted about what you want to achieve, I’ll suggest what feels like the right fit, and you can always ask questions before committing to anything. I won’t ask you to make a decision on the call, I’ll follow up with an email and if you want to move forward, you can click and book using the links in the email. 

3. We get started If you click on the link, you’ll be taken to the page to book in your session, and pay for it (unless you’re using Access to Work, in which case I’ll invoice separately). My system will also send you the contract and questionnaire. Then we just… begin. At a pace that works for you. You’ll also get a Notion page with your meeting notes, goals and any resources we discuss in the call.
