About Me

Meet Donna Garratty—Your Transformational Coach

TFT therapist in Lichfield and Tamsworth

Business Owner, Entrepreneur, and Change Maker

Hi, I’m Donna. With over 40 years of diverse professional and entrepreneurial experience, I specialise in helping individuals and organisations navigate significant life transitions with clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose. As a coach, my mission is to empower people to overcome challenges, rediscover their potential, and achieve meaningful, lasting transformation.

Having navigated profound personal transitions—including divorce and the journey to building a fulfilling and happy second marriage of 14 years—I bring empathy, authenticity, and real-world wisdom to my coaching practice. My own experiences have deepened my understanding of the complexities of resilience, emotional recovery, and balancing personal growth with professional demands.

As an entrepreneur, I’ve launched and managed six small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs). My journey as a business owner has been one of extraordinary highs and challenging lows. I founded my first business in 2002 and experienced early success, only for it to fail during the recession in 2008. I’ve also been part of two “unhealthy” UK franchises, navigating mediation and a protracted legal battle to extricate myself successfully from these ventures

All this experience has given me a unique perspective on leadership, strategy, and the real-world challenges faced by business owners and professionals. This combination of personal insight, business acumen, and advanced coaching expertise allows me to support my clients in ways that are both practical and transformative.

Through a highly personalised approach that integrates advanced therapeutic tools, cutting-edge coaching techniques, and actionable strategies, I guide my clients to move forward with confidence, resilience, and clarity.
