Leah Whitty - Photographer & Life Coach

MY WHY AS A COACH:

✨ Helping others walk the path I have walked.

✨ I create a space to be wild with your ideas and turn those big dreams into reality.

✨ I create a non-judgemental space where you can explore what’s possible, reveal your own wisdom and recognise that you already hold the answers inside, building on that self-trust and confidence in who you are and want to be.

IF THIS IS YOU:

✨ Creatives or those who are on a silent quest for something new.

✨ People who are making big changes in their lives, or who are daring to think and do things differently that deeply connects them back to themself and others.

WHAT I CAN HELP YOU WITH:

✨ Finding your inner confidence and voice.

✨ Building trust in yourself and your powerful instincts.

✨ Recognising the strengths and resources you already have.

✨ Envisioning a bigger, more expansive future for yourself - you truly deserve it.

✨ Giving yourself permission to dream before the mind finds a million reasons why not (hello self-saboteurs - we face those head on!).

✨ Seeing new possibilities and different ways forward.

✨ Creating a safe, non-judgemental space to explore.

✨ Connecting with your own wisdom and trusting that you hold the answers.

✨ Turning big ideas and dreams into reality.

About me as a Photographer & Coach

I’m an adventurous and curious person with over 13 years’ of experience as a fashion and product photographer, working with some amazing well-known brands. Early in my career, I focused on honing my craft, but after unexpectedly losing what I thought was my dream job photographing across Vietnam, Indonesia, and India, I learnt how to adapt and took the leap into freelance.

That shift opened up a whole new world. I became fascinated with combining travel and work, even spending a year backpacking around Australia with a close friend, camera always in hand! Eventually, I returned to the UK and joined ASOS, but with the shake-up of the 2020 pandemic (and a very quiet 30th birthday), I started to rethink what really mattered and realised I had more to give and wanted more from life.

I was single, lonely and completely lost in what my purpose was or what direction to take - does that sound familiar?

I went on to create Palms In The Wild—eco-friendly yoga mats inspired by my travel photography and designed to bring a sense of adventure into everyday life. The project reconnected my creativity during a challenging time and sparked a deeper journey into self-growth, mindset, and spirituality.

I came across a wonderful Life Coach around this time which showed me a whole new world of insight, opportunity and the power or digging deep and the transformation that follows which inspired me to become a coach myself!

Since then, I’ve followed what truly lights me up—returning to freelance, exploring new places, and building a life that feels aligned. I’ve now travelled to 45 countries, tried everything from skydiving to studying Astronomy, Wine WSET and more recently decided to finally train as a coach with Pure Coaching Academy - something I have wanted to do for years after that first experience many years back.

Coaching brings such empowerment to someone who feels a bit lost in life or wants clarity or motivation in their direction across any aspect of life. I love coaching with creative techniques to bring my client a sense of true purpose.

I come from a big, lively family (one of five girls!) and feel incredibly lucky to have them and my close friends around me. I’m now in a loving, aligned relationship (something I wanted for a long time but felt unattainable) and still squeeze travel in whenever I can.

These days, I work with yoga teachers and retreats around the world, capturing beautiful moments in places like India, Bali, Greece, and beyond as well as London studios capturing beautiful imagery for brands I love shooting.

I truly believe life is about finding adventure wherever you are—staying open, staying curious, and staying true to yourself. Whether it’s exploring somewhere new, trying something different, or sharing what I’ve learned along the way, I’m always chasing that sense of growth and joy.

I believe in rewards, so if you’ve come this far - here’s a cheeky 20% discount on any of my coaching or photography packages!
