Thanks for visiting Aumida
I’m Beverley Acton (most people call me Bev), a coach who guides purpose-driven professionals through the pivotal transitions in their careers.
My work is built on a simple belief: a fulfilling career isn't a single destination, but a continuum of growth and impact. Whether you're finding work you love, growing into a new role, stepping into leadership, or cultivating a thriving team, I provide the grounded support for each step.
This is guided by my Aumida Philosophy - a unique fusion of somatic awareness (the wisdom of the body), psychological insight (the wisdom of the mind), and actionable tools. It's how we bridge the gap between inner clarity and outer action, so that change isn't just made, but embodied and sustained.
I can help you explore deep-rooted issues, big emotions, and answer important questions, but always in a warm and empathetic way. My coaching opens up a safe and supportive space where you can freely explore what is really going on and what you need to change.
How I can help
Find your aligned career & navigate change
I coach individuals through career transition with a bespoke, structured yet flexible framework. We explore what truly fulfils you, build confidence from within, and navigate the practicalities of change -whether you're seeking a new path, stepping into a promotion, or facing redundancy. My role is to ask the questions that unlock your clarity and champion your growth.
For organisations, I partner with you to coach your people through internal progression and role transitions, helping retain talent by facilitating meaningful growth within the organisation.
Develop your management & leadership impact
I coach managers and leaders to build authentic confidence, strategic influence, and practical skills. We move from overseeing tasks to inspiring teams and leading with clarity through powerful reflection, somatic awareness, and actionable insight. Together, we build the resilience and presence that define impactful leadership.
For organisations, this coaching partnership develops a resilient leadership pipeline, improves team morale, and ensures your people lead effectively at every level.
Build connected, resilient & thriving teams
I coach teams to build stronger foundations of trust, communication, and shared purpose. We work together to resolve friction, clarify roles, and design how to work best collectively. My approach creates a safe, reflective space where breakthroughs happen naturally. The goal is to create a climate where every voice is heard, and the team's collective intelligence becomes its greatest asset.
For organisations, this is an investment in collective wellbeing and performance. It leads to more cohesive, adaptable teams and builds a positive culture that attracts and retains talent.

Testimonials
Bev supported me during a period of complex change in my role. She was instrumental in helping me navigate the uncertainty and challenges and provided an objective, supportive presence during this time of transition.
Mariette Naud-Betteridge – Director of Partnerships & Stakeholder Engagement
Beverley is a great coach – patient, open, thorough, and kind. She takes a holistic approach. Like the best coaches, she knows when to ask the broader questions and when to zero in on a key insight that illuminates everything else. I’d recommend her highly.
Duncan McMillan – Head of Content
Almost as soon as I’d finished my sessions with Bev, a role came up that ticked many of the boxes she had helped me identify. And, in less than 12 months since our first session, I joined Hampton Fund in my first role as a CEO. I can highly recommend Bev.
Richard Barron – CEO
I've only had a few coaching sessions with Bev but the impact she's had on my confidence has been transformational. She helped me to truly find my inner strength and I'll always be very grateful for her support.
Jessi Kullar – Policy & Public Affairs Manager
I started working with Bev at a time when I was changing career and had a lot of 'unpicking' to do. Bev was the perfect person to help. She is highly intuitive and quickly identified processes and activities that worked best for me. She has a wealth of knowledge on human psychology.
Tania Porteous
Bev was able to help me discover a part of myself I had been striving to unlock, not just professionally, as a manager and a leader but also personally. I can truly say that it has been a transformative experience.
Amandeep Bhardwaj – Financial Controller
The skills and confidence I gained have been invaluable. I've become a more confident and innovative leader as a result of Bev's support and guidance.
