Who am I?

Hello, I’m Anna-Louise Leyden

Motivational Coach | Trainer | Speaker | Creative Educator
Founder of “Anna-Louise Leyden”

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been passionate about helping people find their voice, believe in their worth, and realise their potential — no matter where they’re starting from.

With over a decade of experience in personal development, applied theatre, coaching, and community engagement, my work blends evidence-based practice with lived experience. I design and deliver powerful learning experiences that inspire growth, build resilience, and encourage authentic self-expression.

I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals and organisations across the UK and internationally — from young people navigating big life questions to professionals seeking confidence, clarity, and purpose. Whether through coaching, interactive training, creative workshops, or motivational products, my aim is always the same: to meet people where they are and help them move forward with courage.

My Approach

At the heart of everything I do is the belief that learning should be meaningful, inclusive, and empowering. My sessions are designed to be engaging, fun and accessible — whether delivered online or in person — and grounded in real-world strategies that make a lasting impact.

I specialise in:

  • Personal and professional development training

  • Confidence and resilience coaching

  • Applied theatre for education and community empowerment

  • Youth engagement and mental health advocacy

  • Motivational speaking and storytelling

Through this work, I help people unlock their potential, overcome setbacks, and step into their lives with greater self-belief and intention.

Creative Tools for Growth

Alongside my coaching and training, I also design motivational resources — from journals and notebooks to affirmation mugs and lifestyle accessories — all created to support everyday growth and mindset shifts. These products are part of a wider mission: to bring positive change into people’s hands, homes, and hearts.

Why I Do This Work

My journey hasn’t always been easy. I’ve faced personal health challenges and had to rebuild more than once. But it’s through these experiences that I’ve developed the compassion, creativity, and courage I now bring into every aspect of my work.

I believe in the power of learning, reflection, and self-expression — and I’m here to remind others that their voice matters, their growth is valid, and their story is still being written.
