Thomasina Unsworth

Life Coach

Thomasina Unsworth trained and worked as an actor for many years. Although she went from job to job she always felt as though something was missing. It was fun, sometimes crazy, rewarding in many ways, but still a little voice inside her told her that there was another path she should be taking. It took her some years to stop and listen to that voice. One day when she was heavily pregnant with her first daughter, and so unable to take acting work, she covered for a friend teaching at a drama school. There the realisation dawned that what made her really happy was facilitating others to reach their potential. Fast forward some years: more teaching, two books published, a second daughter. And then a job as the principal of another drama school. And no, she didn't listen to the voice that told her this was not the way to go. She got stuck. For too long. Until one day without discussing it with anyone else, she just quit her day job. It was if her feet just started walking away before her brain had time to catch up. Yes, radical! But she had trained and qualified as a personal development coach and an NLP practitioner, so she began taking on clients. As someone who has made a huge transition from working for an institution, high status and well paid, to living a freelance life, she understands the fears surrounding change. She understands the changes that come with ageing, with children, with loss, with just trying to function in a world that keeps on shifting. It is so easy to feel lost. It is so easy to feel blocked. It is so easy to feel overwhelmed. Thomasina believes passionately in the potential in all of us to transform the situations we find ourselves in. Sometimes we just need the space and the right questions asked of us to gain clarity, reignite motivation, boost confidence, and above all to take action. Now Thomasina devotes her life to coaching, working with a range of clients across all creative industries. She has also just finished writing her first novel, and there is a book on wellbeing in the pipe line. Thomasina's mission is to provide excellent coaching to all, not just to the very wealthy who can pay high ticket prices. She is a champion of the arts and all things creative. The little voice in her head that told her that things were not quite right, has thankfully gone totally quiet.
