Maryane Mwaniki (MBACP)
Co-Founder, Counsellor, Coach & Public Speaker
I’m known for my warmth, authenticity, and passion for supporting people and organisations in achieving their goals. Whether I’m working with an individual client, a couple, or an organisation, I draw on my unique counselling and coaching expertise to create meaningful transformation.
I'm a fully qualified Integrative Counsellor and Coach (MBACP, CIPD, ACC), and I bring together a blend of psychological, therapeutic, and coaching approaches to support you in a way that’s tailored to your unique needs. When we work together, you’ll find our sessions to be a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space—where we move at a pace that feels right for you. My aim is to gently encourage and empower you to connect with your whole self—mind, body, and spirit—so you can find your way to a place of greater hope, freedom, and self-understanding.
Counselling & Coaching
I help people overcome challenges, tap into their inner resources, and reconnect with their whole selves. With over a decade of coaching experience and formal qualifications in counselling, I bring a deep well of expertise and insight to my work. My counselling and coaching for organisations, individuals and couples is tailored to the needs of my client’s and carefully designed to support personal and professional growth.
Couple Counselling
I have a genuine passion for supporting couples to develop healthy, happy and long lasting relationships and marriages through Relationship Counselling (couple therapy). My sessions are creative, collaborative and warm. I support couples who are dating, engaged or married to resolve conflicts and get their relationship to a place of healthy communication and connection. I am also experienced in Christian pre-marital counselling and have been running marriage courses for over a decade.
Leadership & Executive Coaching
I partner with organisations to provide leadership and team coaching and to create healthy work environments that champion authentic leadership and invest in the development of their people. With expertise in Human Resources, Organisational Behaviour, and Leadership Development, I provide coaching and consulting to a broad range of organisations—from charities and SMEs to global firms. I’ve had the privilege of coaching senior executives, academics, and leaders to accelerate their careers, navigate transitions, and strengthen their personal and professional presence.
Whether you’re seeking clarity, growth, or a new direction, coaching offers a powerful space to gain momentum and create lasting change. My combined background in coaching and counselling allows me to work flexibly and creatively, adapting to each client’s unique needs.
I’ve also held senior roles in careers and professional development, including Head of Careers and Alumni Relations and Head of Employer Engagement at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). With over 15 years of experience, I’ve supported C-suite executives and early-career professionals alike to expand their global networks, strengthen their personal brands, and achieve meaningful career success.
“Maryane helped me recognise hindrances to me achieving my goals and she formulated ways to overcome the obstacles and achieve my goals. She skillfully enables you to analyse yourself, your behaviours, actions and their origins in a non-judgmental and realistic way in a safe setting she has created, that makes you feel empowered in the collaborative decision making process.”

Credentials
Counselling and coaching form the foundation of my approach, strengthened by my training in the PGDip Integrative Counselling and Coaching (Distinction) from the University of East London. I’m a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the Association of Christian Counsellors (ACC), as well as a member of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC).

As a Level 7 Associate Member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development (CIPD) and holder of an MSc in Human Resources and Organisations (Distinction) from the London School of Economics and Political Science, I have extensive experience in helping people develop emotional intelligence, build self-awareness, and foster meaningful personal and professional relationships.

With a BA (Hons) in English from King’s College London, I have a deep curiosity for language and the art of communication, which inspires me to create innovative workshops and programmes such as the Relationship Counselling (couple therapy) to support couples with effective communication and constructive conflict resolution.
