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.

Testimonial

  • "You always offer me some new insight or perspective. Even when it may be challenging to hear, you always deliver this kindly and with the intention of helping me grow and understand myself. I love how you deliver this, it's always done in an open and supportive way, which I think is very difficult to achieve. I've never come across anyone who has that combination of skills."

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.
