About Me

Hi, I’m Naila Ahmed, founder of Reset Coaching.

I work with people who are used to holding everything together, often in high-pressure or high-responsibility roles but feel disconnected from themselves underneath it all.

Whether that’s navigating job pressure, applying for roles, managing expectations at work, or balancing home life, many of the people I work with are carrying a lot - often without realising how much it’s affecting them.

I created Reset Coaching for people who are tired of just getting through life, and want to feel more like themselves again. Many of the people I work with are capable, thoughtful, and doing well on the outside, but internally feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or unsure what’s missing.

My work focuses on helping you slow down and make sense of what’s really going on beneath the surface.

We look at the layers that have shaped you such as your experiences, expectations, cultural influences, and patterns of thinking and help you reconnect with who you are underneath all of that. From there, we focus on helping you feel clearer, more grounded, and more confident in how you move forward. Not by forcing change, but by understanding yourself properly and making small shifts that actually feel right for you.

My approach combines evidence-based psychology with warm, reflective coaching. It’s not about fixing you. It’s about helping you understand yourself properly -how your mindset, experiences, and environment have shaped the way you think, feel, and respond so you can feel more like yourself again and move forward with clarity and direction.

MY PERSONAL WHY

Growing up, I became very aware of how much the environments around us shape the way we see ourselves. I was influenced by different ways of thinking, different expectations, and different cultural influences and I saw how easily that can create pressure, confusion, and an internal tug of war.

At times, that showed up as overthinking, self-doubt, and feeling like I had to hold everything together while trying to figure out who I really was underneath it all. Sometimes nothing is “wrong” but you’ve been shaped in ways you’ve never had space to fully understand. But I also experienced how powerful it is when someone truly sees you, believes in you, and helps you understand yourself in a different way. That kind of support can change how you think, how you feel, and how you move through life.

Over time, I realised that the more we understand ourselves, where our thoughts, reactions, and patterns come from the easier it becomes to feel more grounded, more confident, and more clear in ourselves.

That’s what led me into this work. Not just to help people cope, but to help them feel more connected to who they are, especially when they’ve spent so long holding everything together.

QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE

I hold a Masters in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology (MAPPCP) and I am an EMCC Accredited Coach at Practitioner level, working in line with the Global Code of Ethics.

Over the years, I have worked across charities, education, local councils, wellbeing services, and community organisations, supporting people from many different backgrounds and cultures.

My experience includes supporting individuals affected by trauma, domestic abuse, sexual abuse, human trafficking, displacement, neurodiversity, mental health challenges, and major life difficulties, as well as supporting university students, refugees, and culturally diverse communities. I have also worked internationally across the world coaching various individuals and groups and adapting my coaching to be culturally accessible.

This work has given me a deep understanding of emotional wellbeing, resilience, identity, culture, and the importance of feeling seen, heard, and understood.
