Annie is approachable, honest but kind and really took her time to help both myself and my partner navigate through our poor communication skills and separate personal issues to enable us to work through our relationship problems. At no point did she ‘take sides’ or make either feel less valued/ listened to and at no point did joint sessions feel like a shouting match!
I’m so grateful to have found Annie and would highly recommend her to anyone, whether it be for personal or couples life coaching.

We used Annie as we were stuck in a rut with our relationship and it was beginning to impact the whole family.
She helped each of us to understand the other better and gave us lots of practical tools to improve not only our relationship with each other but also with our children.

Annie helped me work through a difficult time when I was separating from my partner of 10 years and after giving birth to our third child.
I felt a genuine connection with her as she seemed to understand where I was coming from and was able to coach me through my emotions and thoughts.
She provided me with the tools to enable me to change my thought process and I can safely say that these past 9 weeks have been tough but would have been a lot tougher without her help.
I would highly recommend her to anyone who is going through a dramatic change in their lives.

Relationships are hard work but you must decide if you are up to doing the work!
Relationships contribute to more than 70% of our perceptions of life. Friendships are, however complex. The complexity of relationships makes it hard to have a singular definition of a “perfect relationship.”
However, the complications are as a result of expectations people have towards relationships. In most cases, people have assumptions that other people understand what they want or what they expect. In recent studies — by different universities in Europe — lack of shared expectations creates a void which eventually destroys good relationships.
People relate differently. Some are lovers, family and others are co-workers. Understanding the art of balancing expectations is the best way to handle friendships. Although friendships and relationships are of different kinds, the manual of protecting and preserving them is similar — be truthful.
The complexity of relationships, however, is a perfect indication that looking for professional help is essential, Annie Fontaine provide the best relationship coaching & counselling in London, UK.
The concept of a “perfect relationship” is farfetched. Relationship problems arise from the following factors.
The reason why many relationships are dysfunctional is the difference in expectations. Regardless of the nature of a relationship, it is impossible to isolate individual expectations. If the expectations are similar, then it is an ideal relationship. However, if people do not have similar expectations, conflicts are unavoidable.
Did you know that over 80% of all conflicts in the world are as a result of miscommunications? Communication pundits point out that lack of proper dissemination of information can either dent a relationship or create a huge rift between parties. Therefore, communication is the glue that keeps relationships and friendships together.
Although different expectations and miscommunications have a huge impact on relationships, dishonesty is also a significant factor in destroying relationships. Parties in a relationship may have little or no control over expectations and miscommunications, but they have sole responsibility in this factor. For better relationships, honesty is crucial.
Other relationship issues include the following;
Did you know that lack of trust is the number one killer of most relationships? In addition, lack of trust is also one of the major reasons why emotional and physical sexual infidelity is on the rise.
In other cases, a lack of trust in a relationship causes unreasonable rigidity, especially to couples. In other cases, a lack of trust is a recipe for lack of mutual goals in a relationship.
Did you know that compatibility is one of the most important factors in any relationship? If a relationship lacks compatibility, it is impossible to work on that relationship. However, it is possible to work on compatibility challenges with a life coach.
A life coach helps in solving crucial compatibility challenges such as personality types, intimacy compatibilities, and why there is a lack of compatibility in a relationship.
In addition to the two major contributors to relational issues, other factors such as addictions have a significant impact on relationships.

We are social beings and relationships are central to our lives. Although the nature of relationship advice may vary, everybody needs advice. For specific cases, the following are some of the indications that you need relationship advice, coach & counselling in london.
Finally, if you are uncertain about your abilities, it is a sign that you need professional help. In this case, the professional helps you in identifying the reasons for your perception (about yourself) and the best approach to solve this challenge.
Relationship coaching is ideal in the following areas
One of the biggest relationship killers is different expectations. Expectations are important in any relationship, but if unmanaged, they can bring a “match made in heaven” down. A life coach is ideal in identifying expectations and underlining similarities more than differences.
During life coaching sessions, a coach has an obligation of ensuring that the broken communication channels are restored. This process is not simple, and it may take several sessions for ideal results. The results are sustainable, and this may be a healing remedy for a relationship.
In most cases, people are unable to relate well because of childhood memories and experiences. During life coaching sessions, the coach is able to identify these experiences. Although therapy sessions are ideal in dealing with childhood memories, a life coach helps the parties to find a way forward through sustainable solutions.
In the 21st century, you need a Life Coach for different reasons. Some of these reasons include;
In multiple research carried out in relationships and family, it is clear that one of the reasons why people have bad relationships is the lack of clear definitions of their friendships. Fortunately, a Life Coach helps in categorising friendships based on different factors. Therefore, if you want to have a good relationship with others, defining friendships — with the help of a life coach — is essential.
Dreams are important and everybody should have dreams and aspirations. However, some goals are unrealistic or too vague — to time. A life coach, therefore, assists the client in redefining goals, and if the aspirations are unclear, they help in finding a specific vision.
In addition to the above reasons why a life coach is important, you should also consider a life coach for other specific areas in your life. For example, if you have a fertility issue, you should consider a life coach. On the other hand, you should also consider a life coach if you have cold relationships with your co-workers or family members.
The process of making strong work-relationships involves the following factors.
A better approach to communication is a game-changer in improving work relationships. If the communications between you and your co-workers are not efficient, the relationship is likely to be cold. Therefore, you have the duty of ensuring that the communication between you and your co-workers is effective.
In most cases, people have different perceptions of co-workers, which are incorrect. However, working on similar projects help in discovering one another’s strengths. In this important process, it is possible to prove wrong assumptions you may have towards one another.
Do you spend time with your co-workers past the working hours? If the answer is no, you may be doing yourself an injustice. Spending time beyond work helps in bringing the human in you and therefore creating stronger relationships. However, the activities — after work with colleagues — must add value to your life.
