About me

Hello and welcome to my profile,

My name is Sandie and I am a certified Master Coach, a Life Coach, Executive Coach and Career Coach. I'm the founder of High Peak Life Coaching, established in 2006.  I'm a happily married, busy working mum with two lovely little boys, ages 7 and 10. 

I have a wonderful job working with a variety of people, perhaps just like you.  

So, what brings you here?

- Do you want to reach your full potential and live with greater enthusiasm?

- Do you need help understanding your passion and purpose in life?

- Are you pushing hard to progress in your career but not liking its impact on your wellbeing or your personal life?

- Do you wish that you had more confidence in the direction you are going?

- Do you sometimes question if you are even on the right path at all? 

If so, Career Coaching and Life Coaching could help you. Not only when you are struggling or frustrated, but also when you understand the benefits of the reflective and transformative power of coaching, when you simply need a professional to talk to, to provide clarity and support, to help you perform at your best. 

I help busy professionals work towards their goals, protect their mental health and endeavour to fully enjoy life.

I offer coaching in the following areas:-

⭐ Career Coaching

⭐ Life Coaching

⭐ Health, Wellbeing & Mental Fitness Coaching

⭐ Happiness, Confidence & Productivity Coaching

My Background: I am a certified Master Coach drawing from 18 years experience of private 1-1 coaching work, associate work, training and CPD. I am the Founder of High Peak Life Coaching (est. 2006),  offering coaching both in-person at the Riverside Wellbeing Centre in High Peak, Derbyshire, nationally and internationally, online. 

Who I work with: My work is varied and wide-ranging, however, I typically specialise in working with mid-life, mid-career professionals struggling to balance work, life and their wellbeing, looking to improve their wellbeing AND achievements both professionally and personally. 

My coaching approach is integrative, strengths-based, person-centred and solution-focused. I work intuitively and will often integrate elements of my training in Positive Psychology and the Science of Wellebing into my practice.  I have a warm, friendly style and bring creativity, challenge, confidence, kindness and courage into the partnership. 

My Credentials: I am an Accredited Master Coach and an active member of the Association for Coaching. I am also a World Happiness Coach Facilitator (2023 & 2024), and an Action for Happiness Volunteer Facilitator.  I'm in Continuous Professional Development, insured and under regular supervision.

Praise for Sandie's personal coaching services:-

"I can’t tell you how much I’ve enjoyed the coaching sessions and how much I have learnt from them. You’ve given me such valuable skills that I’ll have for the rest of my life and I really can’t thank you enough for that. From the moment that I read your website, I felt as though I would be able to connect with you and that certainly proved to be correct. I think that everyone should have a Sandie in their life. I think you’re absolutely fantastic!" -  N.T.

"Having decided that I wanted a career change I reached out to Sandie as I wasn't
sure how to approach it and it felt a little daunting to stop doing something I
studied at university and have done for the past 10 years to do something else. I
had no idea where to start however Sandie has helped put me on a path of
self-discovery and given me a new perspective on how I see myself, my strengths, skills and personality traits and how I can best harness these in my personal and
working life. I no longer feel daunted by the thought of changing my career I now feel excited and am in the process of making big changes in my life for the better." - Danielle Beer, Events Manager, Derbyshire.

"I am very grateful for Sandie’s professionalism and dedication to coaching me. My life has definitely turned around for the better as I now have a new partner and a new job! Thank you, Sandie!"  - Debbie, Executive PA, London. Coached on Relationships and Career.

"I was struggling in my interviews mainly due to nerves. This was having a knock-on effect on what I was saying and how I was saying it. I decided to get help, and Sandie was able to take me on at short notice. Even after the initial session, I found my self-confidence increasing and learnt effective tips for the delivery of my answers. I found it incredibly easy to connect with Sandie and it was no coincidence that I later got a job offer from an Investment Bank. I would highly recommend her help.” - I.K., Economics & Finance Graduate, Manchester. Coached on Communication & Interview Techniques.

"I had no idea what I was letting myself in for when I started my journey with Life Coaching, but, with the supportive and friendly manner that Sandie has, I soon found that this was helping me reorganise my life. The gentle prodding and patient approach that was taken worked for me and I feel that this has been a sound investment that is helping me regain my life. This experience was the first time anyone brought home to me that it was OK to spend time on me!" - Alan, Derbyshire.

"Dear Sandie, thank you so much for all your support, you have opened my eyes to new possibilities and given me the confidence to get out there and achieve my goals. Not only have you helped me with my career; but you have also helped me move forward with my personal life. I am so full of energy, drive and enthusiasm now that I know I will succeed at both – I already am! Thanks again for all your help."  - Chris, Manchester. Coached on setting up a business.

"Just like to say thank you so much for guiding me in the right direction.  I had become very dissatisfied with my life!  And after coming to see you for 6 weeks I now feel I have taken control again and I'm heading up the right path.’"- A. Senior, High Peak, Derbyshire.

"If you’re looking for a coach, but maybe you’re a bit unsure, my advice would be to give Sandie a call, you won’t regret it. I always recommend High peak Life Coaching to anyone looking to move forward with their life, as my experience with Sandie has most definitely helped me do just that. Sandie, I would like to wish you the very best of luck with your future and thank you again for all your help, support and continued enthusiasm." - Employment King

"Before meeting Sandie I wanted significant improvements in many areas of my life. Only 2 months ago life was overwhelming and I had no idea how to improve it myself or which way to turn. I was immediately shown how to select the areas of most importance to me by using simple techniques and quickly became aware of my personality, my needs, my interests and my desires, and soon I discovered what makes me tick in terms of career and interests, and my ideal career became very clear. I am now training and doing voluntary work in order to gain the skills and experience needed to follow my dream!!! It is great to now have clarity of thought and a clear vision of my ultimate goal. I am much more confident about myself, and my future, and am already well on my way to getting where I want to be. A big thank you to you, Sandie!" - Jo, Career Change Coaching

"Sandie, I just wanted to say THANK YOU for your professionalism, honesty and good work. It has been a pleasure working with you during the last few months and I have enjoyed it very much on both a professional and a personal level…  Sandie is caring, trustworthy and very supportive.  I would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting life coaching."  - Eva, Greater Manchester

"Many, many thanks for a great 2010.  You’ve helped me see my life in a much more positive light.  I look forward to our continued successes in the year 2011. Big, Big Hugs." - Kris, London

Further information

Further areas for coaching:-

- Having travelled the world extensively I am well positioned to help you if any of your goals involve world travel. 

- Having left a promising career within a secure and established International organisation to follow my dream of becoming my own boss, I have a good understanding of the challenges faced by those making a significant career transition of their own. 

- Having recently returned to work after having had my second child, I am also in a great position to understand the challenges of pregnancy, childbirth, weaning and becoming a busy parent (whether employed or not, parents never stop working!). I advocate reducing stress and living a healthy, balanced lifestyle in order to fully enjoy the gift and the rewarding nature of parenthood.
