You don’t need me to tell you how busy your days are as a freelancer.
From finishing client work, doing admin and chasing invoices to cold outreach, posting on social media and keeping your blog up-to-date, everything is on you.
And when things aren’t going as planned, that’s when things start falling through the cracks.
But there is one thing that can get you back on track.
Working with a business coach.
Top 10 business coaches for freelancers
A 2023 Coaching Industry Report estimates that there are approximately 126,000 active business coaches worldwide. Many of whom coach freelancers and small business owners.
That’s a lot to search through.
So, to make things easy (and save you time), I’ve whittled the top business coaches for freelancers list down from 126k to ten:
1. Ed Deason - Deason Executive Coaching
Okay, let’s not pretend you were surprised.
I work with freelancers and founders who are amazing at their craft, but sometimes struggle with the complexities of business growth. With 15+ years in corporate strategy and an MBA from a top business school, I make building your business simpler and much less stressful.
And it's this experience and background that has, since becoming a business coach, allowed me to help freelancers and business owners like you:
Sign more clients
Treble their income
Go from working 5 to 2 days a week while making more money
Switch careers
Perfect their pricing strategy
Find a better work-life balance
Before moving into freelancer coaching, I was a senior leader at billion-dollar companies and smaller private-equity-owned firms. I managed hundreds of staff and advised tech start-ups (the latter of which I still do).
However, the real value of my coaching is mixing my experience and training with my ability to connect with my clients, understand their unique problems, and tailor everything I do to support them and get them results (no cookie-cutter solutions here).
It's why my clients have said:
"Having a coach really helped me this year. I worked less AND earned more!" - Ben Goodey
“The best decision I've made for my business was getting started with a business coach” - Taylor Scher

2. Jo Kilroe - Soaring Success Coaching
Next is Jo and her business, Soaring Success Coaching.
At the heart of her work is one big idea: connection.
Jo has an incredible knack for understanding what makes people tick. She helps leaders and teams uncover potential they didn’t even know they had. She also designs coaching and development programs that fit like a glove, completely tailored to the team's strengths or the company's vision.
That takes talent, expertise and a deep understanding of her clients.
Jo just gets it.
3. Helen Coston
As a seasoned business owner and freelancer, Helen understands the highs and lows of running a business on your own.
Her clients come to her because they want to attract more paying clients, build a sustainable business strategy and reach their full potential.
Whether they work with her on a flexible monthly coaching package or a more focused Business Strategy Day, Helen’s clients see big mindset, strategy and bottom-line improvements.
4. Annie Bell
If you’re a creative freelancer struggling with self-promotion or staying focused on client work, Annie might be the business coach for you.
She works with copywriters, graphic designers, and done-for-you service providers, helping them overcome procrastination and overwhelm and regain control of their time and output.
5. Jennifer Bourn
Based in California, Jennifer is a straight-talking, no-nonsense business coach for freelancers who know where they’re at, know what they want to do, and have a general idea of what they need to do to make it happen. However, they may not be sure what to start with, what order to follow, how to do it, or where to find the time to do any of it.
With Jennifer’s guidance, her clients find that they accomplish more in a few months than they have in all the years running their business put together.
6. Robin Waite
Robin is a UK-based business coach. His ‘Why’ gets him repeat work: to make running a small business as simple and easy as possible.
He helps his clients to reframe their mindset to change the future of their business.
He does this by helping you identify your three common pricing mistakes and examining the limiting beliefs and fears that prevent you from growing your business.
He can also help you develop your products into assets, attract new clients, and find new ways to create consistent revenue.
You can work with Robin within a group or one-to-one business coaching sessions to scale your freelance business and increase profits.
7. Jas Darar - REACH Business Coaching
REACH is a multi-coaching business founded by Jas Darar, who specialises in business coaching, time management, business growth development, team building and culture improvement.
He works with business owners of any kind, whether you’re a new freelancer or the owner of a large organisation.
If you want to scale your freelance business into something much bigger, Jas has the experience to help you take that step.
8. Emma Redfern - Studio Self Made
Emma is one of the newer business coaches for freelancers on the block, but the rise of Studio Self-Made has been incredible.
Emma helps freelancers and founders with 1-to-1 personal branding strategy sessions, LinkedIn brand management, brand strategy and brand identity design.
If you’re struggling to make your brand consistent across every platform, Emma is a specialist who can help you do just that.
9. Ruth Gilbey
Ruth is a seasoned freelancer, but she also mentors freelancers to help them get to the core of who they are so that they can build their businesses based on their strengths and energy.
If you need a business coach to help you overcome mindset blocks and create a consistent marketing strategy that works for you, Ruth can help.
And with over two decades of experience, she knows exactly what she’s doing.
10. Nicole Louise Winer - Nicole Louise Online
Nicole helps freelance business owners start making consistent sales by making them more visible online and supporting them in building their personal brands.
She will show you strategies that have worked not only for the 100s of clients she’s served but for her too. So, if you want to add £20k of new sales or turn your usually quietest months into your busiest ones, she’s done that for her clients and can do it for you, too.
Why are business coaches a ‘must-have’ for freelancers?
Between juggling client projects, marketing yourself, managing finances and still trying to have a life, it’s easy for freelancers to feel overwhelmed. A business coach can help you:
Set clear goals
Keep on track
Stay accountable
All while pushing you out of your comfort zone when it’s time to raise your rates, take on bigger projects or grow your business.
If you’re unhappy with how you market your business OR the client type you attract and you’re ready to take your freelance career to the next level, a business coach can help.
