Welcome to VCPollard Coaching
I’m Dr. Valentina Canessa-Pollard, and I specialise in empowering individuals at every stage of their career journey. Whether you’re navigating a career transition, exploring new opportunities, or enhancing your skills as a coach or mentor, I’m here to help you.
Career Transitions and Development
For those seeking career transitions, I offer tailored support to help you pursue ideal roles, explore new directions, or re-train—always with a focus on your values and aspirations.
LearnToCoach: Coaching for Coaches and Mentors
Through LearnToCoach, I support coaches, mentors, and leaders in developing their skills, deepening their impact, and navigating the unique challenges of working with others. Whether you’re new to coaching or an experienced professional, I provide personalised coaching, supervision, and peer mentoring opportunities, both online and within organisations, to help you grow with confidence and purpose.
Connecting Through the Outdoors
I also offer coaching designed to help you reconnect with nature. I blend evidence-based coaching practices with the restorative power of the outdoors, creating a unique and grounding experience.
My Approach
I take a person-centred approach, focusing on your unique experiences to support meaningful transformation at your own pace.
Think of me as your personal co-pilot—you're in control of the destination, but I’m here to help navigate any turbulence along the way (and provide the occasional in-flight snack metaphorically, of course).
My style is collaborative and supportive, grounded in the belief that your growth not only empowers you but also inspires those around you. When you thrive, you become the kind of person others want to high-five—figuratively or literally.
Using a psychologically informed and evidence-based framework, I draw on research and proven principles to help you identify and overcome obstacles, fostering clarity, confidence, and maybe even a few "aha!" moments.
Whether you’re exploring a fulfilling career, advancing as a coach, or reconnecting with nature, I’m here to guide and support you every step of the journey—with a mix of insight, encouragement, and just the right dose of humour to keep things light.
