1-1 Coaching
With a thriving life overflowing with love & friendship, Hannah Carmichael OBE is a world-leading coach with vast amounts of personal as well as professional experience in building purposeful, deeply connected lives that centre around incredible friendships. Having turned her life around after an abusive relationship and years struggling with depression and social anxiety, Hannah brings deep insight, compassion and empathy to her work, as well as practical expertise in everything from growing your social confidence to overcoming rejection to showing up authentically and holding clear boundaries. She specialises in working with thoughtful, caring, independent types, the ones are capable and self-sufficient and whose lives seem fine to others, yet who often crave a deeper sense of connected-ness than they currently have - and helps them find what they are looking for in ways that are healthy and deeply empowering.
Your options for 1-1 coaching with Hannah
Hannah's thoughtful approach to coaching for friendship and connection has been developed over several years and offers an unparalleled opportunity to try new approaches to building beautiful connections in a safe space where thoughtful reflection goes hand in hand with practical action.
Hannah would recommend 1-1 coaching for anyone looking to transform the quality of their closest connections at their own pace. 1-1 coaching is particularly suitable if: you are new to friendship coaching and want to take your first steps in a way that feels structured and supported, if you learn best through doing, and / or if you have particular goals or skills you want to improve on.
If you'd like to explore this kind of support, then there are three options available for 1-1 coaching with Hannah.
CLARITY PACKAGE: 6 HOURS + email / messaging support (due to the approach I take to my coaching work, this is typically between 3 - 6 months support) - £1250
CONFIDENCE PACKAGE: 12 HOURS + email / messaging support (typically between 6 - 12 months of support) - £2250
TRANSFORMATION PACKAGE: 24 HOURS + email and messaging support (typically between 1 - 2 years of support) - £4250
When we're talking about connection, relationships are everything. Hannah therefore offers a generous Discovery call to those exploring 1-1 coaching, so that you can get a feel for how Hannah works, and decide on whether this is the right coaching relationship for you. Discovery calls work like mini coaching sessions, and participants are often astonished at how much progress and insight can come about from just one 60 minute call.
*All 1-1 coaching packages include 2 years access to Hannah's Friendshift Circle community, with regular live events on different aspects of friendship and connection. Confidence and Transformation packages include access to Hannah's 'Beyond The Surface' small talk course at no extra cost. Prices are inclusive of VAT. Payment plans can be arranged on request.
Testimonial
Why Hannah?
She's been where you are. Hannah doesn't just teach connection theory – she's lived it. She's navigated the loneliness of starting over in new places, the challenge of building friendships as an adult, and the journey from feeling isolated and directionless, to creating a life overflowing with love and meaningful connections. When she talks about what it's like to feel disconnected despite appearing successful, she's speaking from lived experience.
She gets the unique challenges of independent people. Working primarily with thoughtful, independent types who value depth over superficial connections, Hannah understands the specific challenges faced by people who don't fit the traditional mould. Whether you're single by choice, an independent 'thinker,' neurodivergent, or simply someone who prefers deeper conversations to surface-level socialising, she gets it.
She's a reformed 'awkward type' (and can still be pretty awkward sometimes!) Hannah understands what it's like to feel socially anxious, to worry about saying the wrong thing, or to struggle with small talk. She's transformed her own relationship with social confidence and now helps others do the same. There's no judgement here – just genuine understanding and practical strategies that actually work.
She's proven she can help others transform. With over 20 years of experience helping people build confidence and meaningful connections – first as a youth worker, then in her corporate career building high-performing teams, and now as a friendship coach – Hannah has a track record of helping people create real, lasting change in their relationships.
She combines professional expertise with personal insight. Hannah's approach is grounded in both her extensive professional experience and her personal journey of transformation. She brings the strategic thinking of a former senior civil servant (and OBE recipient) combined with the deep empathy of someone who's navigated her own struggles with connection and belonging.
She's built a life that proves it's possible. Today, Hannah lives the connected, purposeful life she teaches others to create. She's proof that you can build an incredible life centred around friendship, find deep fulfilment outside traditional relationship structures, and create the exact kind of connections that light you up – no matter where you're starting from.
She'll meet you where you are. Whether you're navigating a major life change, feeling stuck and directionless, or simply wanting to deepen your existing connections, Hannah tailors her approach to your unique situation and goals. She's worked with people from all walks of life and understands that there's no one-size-fits-all solution to building meaningful relationships.
Hannah doesn't just help you understand what's missing – she helps you transform your life so that you feel truly seen, supported, and understood.
