Who is Coaching For?
Enneagram Coaching at The 9 Within is for the person who is ready to move from "feeling stuck" to "living with intention." Whether you are a long-time Enneagram student or are just discovering the tool for the first time, this is a space for high-impact, generative growth. It is for the person who is:
-
Searching for a Roadmap: You feel like you’re repeating the same frustrating patterns but can’t quite name them. You’re ready to use the Enneagram to identify your "autopilot" and start driving your own life.
-
Ready for a Strategy Shift: You want to move beyond reacting to your environment. You’re looking for Type-specific tools to help you communicate better, lead more effectively, and set boundaries that actually stick.
-
Scaling Your Vision: You have a goal - a new career move, a creative project, or a lifestyle shift - and you want a personality-informed strategy to ensure you don’t get in your own way.
-
Seeking High-Performance Harmony: You want to achieve your goals without the inevitable crash. You’re looking for a sustainable way to stay in your delight rather than falling into your disaster.
-
Ready for Transformation: You don't just want a personality test result; you want a dedicated partner to help you apply that wisdom to your real-world relationships and career.

SG, Org. Development Specialist
Donna is an incredible, warm, open-hearted and supportive coach. She helped me discover my Enneagram profiling and develop more awareness on the way I do, feel and think which has fundamentally given me more freedom in my daily life. I highly recommend Donna!
Lakshmi Piette, Cambridge UK
I really valued the insightfulness of the questions asked in each session. The sessions have really tested me and made me reflect deeper, empowering me to view things differently and interact with my colleagues and those in my life with greater awareness. The follow-up after each session and fluidity between sessions was also deeply appreciated.
Nick W, Software Eng. Manager
Donna demonstrates strong empathy and insight into the mental and emotional space her clients occupy during sessions. She kept me on track when needed, while maintaining the free-flowing nature that makes the process feel natural rather than clinical.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Your curiosity is welcome here.
01
What happens during our 9 Within Discovery Call?
The 30-minute discovery call is a no-obligation session where we’ll discuss your goals, challenges, and what you’re hoping to achieve through coaching. It’s also an opportunity to see if coaching with me is the right fit for you. Whether or not you choose to continue, there’s zero pressure or commitment.
02
What is Meta-Coaching?
Meta-Coaching is an entire system based on the best that Cognitive Psychology, Humanistic (or Self-Actualization Psychology) and Developmental Psychology has to offer. It is an approach that focuses on achieving real, measurable outcomes. As a Meta-Coach I am listening to the structure of your thinking, not only the words you say. This is what allows us to have a very special kind of conversation designed to empower people to step up and unleash their best potentials.
03
Why the Enneagram and Coaching?
The Enneagram is a powerful tool for understanding your core motivations, patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving, and because of this, it ultimately highlights your gifts, and your pathway for growth. I use the Enneagram to tailor the coaching process to your unique personality type, helping you gain deeper insights into yourself and create more effective strategies for growth.
04
Is a single coaching session enough?
Maybe. You can book individual coaching sessions based on your needs and schedule. However, if you’re looking for ongoing support, you can purchase a package of 6 sessions at a discounted rate, which allows for deeper, long-term exploration and growth.
05
What type of challenges or goals can Coaching help with?
As a Meta-Coach, I am listening to the structure of your thinking. It is this 'meta' approach that allows me as a coach to support you in a wide range of areas—whether you’re looking to navigate a personal or professional challenges develop greater self-awareness, improve relationships, or even clarify your goals, and the 9 within discovery call is often the ideal first step. (Sometimes we don't know what we need or want!) We work together to address the issues that matter most to you.
06
How do I prepare for a Coaching Session?
This is the easy part! No extensive preparation is necessary. However, it can be helpful to spend a few minutes reflecting on what you’d like to focus on in the session or any particular challenges you’ve been facing. Other than that, please ensure you have a focused, private space to meet with me, plus a microphone and camera.
07
I Can't Decide Between Coaching or Art Therapy?
This is common! Coaching is systematic and goal-oriented (focused on action and where you're going). Art Therapy is gentle, process-oriented, and excellent for emotional release and unblocking stuck feelings (where you've been). The Coaching Discovery Call can help clarify your best path forward. Please call or email me to discuss if you're not sure.
