Coaching
At Adelphe, we are committed to helping ethnic minority women in Edinburgh, Fife, West Lothian, and beyond thrive both professionally and personally. Our coaching services equip women with the confidence, tools, and strategies they need to navigate challenges, achieve their goals, and take control of their future.
Through personalised one-on-one coaching and engaging workshops, we provide practical support in areas such as embracing identity, managing finances, advancing careers, and building businesses. Communication is also at the heart of our coaching, helping women develop essential skills like public speaking, effective collaboration, and interpersonal communication. These skills are invaluable for career progression, workplace confidence, and building meaningful connections.
Whether preparing for a job interview, exploring a new career path, or striving for personal growth, our coaching is designed to empower women with the support and guidance they need to flourish in every area of life.

Integration
We help ethnic minority women adjust to life in Scotland by creating opportunities for connection, belonging, and support. Our Community Integration Hub offers workshops, social events, and networking opportunities designed to build meaningful relationships and navigate cultural transitions. Supporting well-being is at the heart of this pillar. We prioritise mental health through counselling, peer-led services, and signposting to trusted resources. A cornerstone of this effort is our Menopause Workshops and Talks, which provide a safe and welcoming space for women to share their experiences, gain expert advice, and find solidarity with others. These sessions address the physical, emotional, and social challenges of menopause, ensuring that no woman feels alone during this stage of life. Additionally, the Fife BAME Hub extends our support to New Scots, offering tailored services for individuals from African, Caribbean, Asian, and minority ethnic backgrounds, helping them feel more connected and supported.
Educational Workshops
At Adelphe, our educational workshops are designed to give you the skills and confidence to succeed in every aspect of life. We cover a variety of important topics, including identity, soft skills, and practical tools to help you flourish.
• Identity & Belonging: Learn how to stay true to who you are whilst navigating new cultural and social environments. We help you embrace your identity and use it as a strength in your community and career.

These workshops aren’t just about learning; they’re about building confidence, connecting with others, and growing as part of a supportive community. Our sessions provide a safe and friendly space where you can ask questions, share your experiences, and gain valuable insights.
Menopause Fireside Chats
Our Menopause Fireside Chats offer a safe, supportive environment for women to discuss their experiences with menopause. Led by experts and community members, these sessions provide valuable insights into managing the physical, emotional, and social changes associated with menopause. Whether you’re looking for guidance, solidarity, or practical advice, our fireside chats give you the opportunity to connect with others who understand what you’re going through.

At Adelphe, our Mental Health Support services are here to help you manage stress, anxiety, and other difficulties.

In addition to direct support, we offer signposting to trusted external services and organisations that can provide specialised help, ensuring that you get the right support when and where you need it most. Whether you’re looking for professional advice or simply need someone to talk to, we’re here to listen and guide you to the right place.
