Meet Me
Hi, I’m Renata, but you can call me Ren!
I am the founder of Wren Coaching & Wellbeing, and I work one-to-one with adults who are seeking clarity, emotional relief, and meaningful change in their lives.
People often come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. My role is to help you understand what is happening beneath the surface and to support you in finding ways forward that feel grounded, compassionate, and sustainable.
A little about my journey
I grew up in Naples, Italy, and moved to the UK as a teenager, eventually settling in Colne, Lancashire. From a young age, I was drawn to people, language, and connection - interests that later led me to study languages at the University of Manchester and work in a range of people-focused and leadership roles.
Like many, I spent years balancing work, family, and responsibility. I was busy, capable, and outwardly functioning — yet internally overwhelmed. In 2019, I experienced coaching for the first time, and it was genuinely life-changing.
Those sessions helped me understand myself differently. They brought clarity, self-trust, and a sense of inner steadiness that transformed my relationships and how I experienced life. That experience planted a clear realisation: this was the work I wanted to do.
Becoming a practitioner
Following that realisation, I retrained as a coach and mentor through the British School of Coaching, later specialising in wellbeing and group coaching. Over time, I continued to deepen my training, qualifying in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT), and hypnotherapy, and becoming a Mental Health First Aid Instructor.
In August 2020, I founded Wren Coaching & Wellbeing.
The name Wren is intentional. My friends call me Ren, but a wren is also a small bird with a powerful voice. In my logo, the wren breaks free from a circle — a symbol of what I see happen when people feel less stuck, reconnect with themselves, and begin to find their voice again.
How this shapes my work with you
My own experiences - personal and professional - have shaped how I work today.
I understand what it feels like to carry a lot, to keep going, and to struggle quietly. I also know the relief that comes from understanding yourself more clearly and learning how to work with your mind rather than against it.
I bring together coaching, NLP, IEMT, hypnotherapy, and psychoeducation in a way that is thoughtful, respectful, and paced carefully. I draw on my training, experience, and professional judgement so that you do not need to figure out how the work should happen — you simply bring yourself.
A key part of my work is helping you build a personal toolbox — ways of managing your mindset, emotional responses, and inner experience that you can continue to use long after our sessions end.
A few things that matter to me
• Working ethically and responsibly
• Creating a space that feels safe, steady, and respectful
• Helping people understand themselves, not fix themselves
• Supporting change that feels real and lasting
• Treating each person as a whole human being, not a problem to solve
I feel deeply privileged to do this work. Helping people for a living is not something I take lightly — it is a responsibility and a calling.
