Welcome! I am Victoria Canham, a certified Performance Coach dedicated to empowering professionals and business owners to overcome challenges and achieve peak performance. Drawing from my personal journey of resilience and extensive experience in change management, I understand the uncertainties that accompany professional transitions. My mission is to guide you in rebuilding self-confidence, fostering a supportive community, and equipping you with effective strategies for goal achievement.
Beyond coaching, I'm an avid traveller, dog lover, rugby watcher, and wine enthusiast. These passions enrich my holistic approach to coaching, ensuring a well-rounded perspective on personal and professional development.
My journey into coaching was inspired by my own life-altering events, from job losses to confusion about career choices to business failures to rebuilding my life after loss, injury, tragedy and serious injury.
I’ve experienced firsthand the uncertainties and self-doubt that can arise after such a transition. But I have also discovered the incredible strength and resilience that lies within us all. It’s this insight and personal experience that fuels my passion for guiding others on their journey to peak performance.
With a background in change management and countless hours of professional coaching training and experience, I’ve developed a unique one-to-one coaching programme designed to help you overcome challenges and reach your fullest potential, your very own peak performance.
My approach focuses on rebuilding self-confidence, fostering a supportive community, and equipping you with effective coping mechanisms and goal-setting and achievement strategies.
I believe in the power of transformation. I believe that every person, irrespective of their circumstances, has the ability to redefine their life’s trajectory and achieve their goals. As your coach, I’m here to provide you with the tools and guidance you need to make this transformation possible.
I am based in Reading, Berkshire but provide in person performance coaching in London, Oxfordshire, Hampshire and Surrey, and online services globally.
Let's embark on this transformative journey together. Schedule a free consultation today and take the first step towards redefining your life's trajectory.

Coaching is not about working with someone who is better at something than you, who will tell you the exact steps to recreate their success, nah that’s mentoring. A coach understands people, what makes them tick and knows how to ask the right questions, at the right time in the right way to get the best out of you as the client.
Springbok Coach Rassie Erasmus never won a World Cup as a player, but he did lead a team to back to back World Cup victories. Not an easy feat, never achieved by any other coach. Ever. The best coaches get the best results from their people.
Great coaches don’t take your life and catastrophise it, we look ahead at your potential and the possibilities to help you move forward. We have vision. We can see the blind spots and the possibility of what you can achieve and create.
Please note that confidentiality and discretion are always guaranteed.
Coaching is not a replacement for therapy or other psychological interventions.
you to achieve your peak performance.
