Remember the last time you felt truly happy?

Was it today, yesterday, this week, this month, if not then, when?

Or is it more common that you feel:

  • Overwhelmed and chaotic.

  • Exhausted from juggling too many things.

  • You're not making progress and going round in circles.

  • Out of balance and lacking self belief.

  • Worried what others might think.

  • Feeling like a fraud or afraid of failing.

  • Not good enough.

  • Isolated with no support.

    YOU CAN CHANGE, YOU JUST NEED TO TAKE THE FIRST STEP.

We all deserve to be happy.

About Me

HELLO

Im Anna Shears, a qualified Positive Psychologist (MSc) and accredited Coach Practitioner (EMCC).

I am passionate about helping people live a happier life.
My career began with nearly 25 years in the healthcare sector, where I worked with Government Ministers, national leaders and healthcare professionals to shape healthcare policy and drive transformation. These experiences gave me a profound understanding of the challenges people face and a passion for creating meaningful connections.

Despite outward success, I faced my own struggles with low self-worth and limiting beliefs. Therapy helped me realise Id had undiagnosed high functioning depression for years, in part due to the perfect storm of abandonment trauma from childhood and five years of domestic abuse in my first relationship as a young adult. Discovering positive psychology during this time was a turning point that not only transformed my perspectives but sparked a passion to help others see themselves as others do, truly amazing humans.

Now, as a positive psychology coach, I empower others to know they are enough by building self belief, renewed self confidence and resilience. My coaching philosophy is that everyone already has the answers within themselves to solve their own problems and unlock their potential. Clients achieve success without sacrificing happiness, in fact we build on those foundations and amplify what you love to do and what makes you feel good. I combine the latest evidence-based positive psychology strategies with empathy, ensuring every client feels seen, heard, and supported.

Outside of coaching, I’m a proud mum, lover of house music & holidays, and believe you are never too old to have fun!!

What They Say

TRANSFORMATION BEGINS WITHIN

I found myself struggling not only with the challenges of returning to my role but also with intense feelings of imposter syndrome. Anna provided the support and guidance I desperately needed during this difficult time. Through our sessions, she helped me process my experiences, rebuild my confidence, and develop practical strategies to manage my work and maintain my well-being.

GP - Clinician & Healthcare Leader

I feel I have got a much clearer view going forward about what the right work-life balance is for me. The sessions have helped me to realise my own worth and re structure elements of my business to reflect that. It has given me the confidence to run my business to work for me as well as others. Thank you! I feel it could not have been better timed with our sessions and I am feeling very positive and clear about the road ahead.

Sarah W - Fitness Instructor & Business Owner

Anna was incredible and I feel lucky to have found her. She knows how to coach the best out of me, which is definitely a challenge!

She was kind, caring and considerate, approachable and easy to talk to, in an informal, yet profesional manner. She kept on topic, didn't deviate from her path, and this ultimately resulted in me setting achievable short term goals. Thank you Anna!

Emma K - Online Tutor & Business Owner

The experience was very positive. I had fairly recently become a single parent due to the death of my partner so the support was welcome and came at a perfect time. Anna was incredibly easy to talk to and handled my situation sensitively & empathetically.
I put into practice tools and techniques we had discussed to make the evening routine easier with my young daughter. I also made more time for myself to enjoy things away from parenting.
