Confidence & Identity Coach for women in life transitions

About me

Life has changed you and you're not quite sure who you are on the other side of it.

I'm Clare, an ICF accredited Transformative Life Coach with a degree in Psychology and Neuroscience. I help women rebuild their identity, confidence and sense of direction after the moments that change everything: grief, divorce, career shift or a sudden change in life circumstances.

You're not broken or behind. You're in the middle of something and you don't have to navigate it alone.

Who I work with

I work with women at life's biggest turning points:

  • Grief and loss; rebuilding identity when everything has changed
  • Divorce or relationship breakdown ; rediscovering yourself in the next chapter
  • Career change or redundancy;  stepping into a new professional identity
  • Sudden life or financial change; (inheritance, windfall or a major shift in circumstances) adjusting to a new reality when your sense of self hasn't caught up yet
  • Burnout; reconnecting with what you actually value
  • ADHD; related identity and confidence challenges

How I work

We start with identity, looking at who you are, what you value, how you want to move through the world, then build the confidence and practical steps from there.

Every relationship is 1:1, online and shaped entirely around you: your pace, your life and what you need most.

My coaching style is non judgmental, warm, calm and honest, with gentle challenges to keep you moving forward.

Why Me

I've been where you are, I've become a mother, returned to work, changed careers and experienced sudden, unexpected loss. I know what it's like to lose your way between who you were and who you're becoming.

My personal experience, combined with my coaching training and background in psychology, means I bring both the professional tools and the genuine human understanding to help you move forwards.

Training, qualifications & experience

My story

I'm a mum of two, and before coaching I spent years in fashion merchandising and personal styling. I loved helping people feel more confident in how they showed up in the world — but I wanted to help people on a deeper level, beyond the outside. That's what led me to train as a life coach, working on identity and confidence from the inside out.

Areas of coaching I deal with

My specialisms

Confidence
I work with many people navigating life transitions such as promotion, career change, divorce, bereavement. Underneath this is the need to build confidence, self belief and explore who they are now.
Grief
When my sister suddenly died I lost more than her. I lost who I was in relation to her. I can help you understand who are now and how to move forwards and live with your grief.
Returning to work
Returning to work can be really hard, we often don't know how much our confidence has dropped until we start down this path. I have lived experience of this and I've coached many people back to work.
