Clare Sutton

A big warm welcome to my profile, I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Clare, I am a fully accredited professional Life Coach (ACC ICF) and I support people to feel confident and empowered to create their most fulfilling lives, in what ever way that means for them.  
 
My Approach 
My coaching approach comes from the foundational belief that: 
  
- We are already enough.   
- We are already whole.   
- We are not lacking as humans.   
- We have, right now, incredible strengths, incredible qualities, and powerful wisdom and experience.  
  
- Sometimes we can lose sight of these things,  
- Sometimes they feel distant and hard to connect with, 
- Sometimes they are hard to believe and trust in. 

My coaching comes from a place of supporting you to reconnect with your strengths, wisdom, wholeness and capabilities, and to lean into these things, to create the change you want, and the future you’re longing for.  Therefore, my coaching is strengths-based, and not coming from a place of lacking or of deficit.  
 
Who do I work with?  
+ People who have done everything in life that they are ‘supposed to’, but are feeling totally underwhelmed with their lives.

+ People who have reached a point where they want MORE. This may look like:  - More joy  
- More connection  
- More inner peace  
- More confidence  
- More professional development   
- More creativity  
- More direction and purpose   
- More calm   
- More balance   
- More clarity on who they are, and what they want  

+ People who feel passionately about living in a way that feels aligned to their values, passions, and who they really are, and don’t want to have any regrets.

 + People who spend their time pleasing and serving others, but often at detriment to their own needs, wants and care. 

+ People who have exceptionally high standards of themselves that can often get in their own way.  

+ People who want to feel more control, power and autonomy over their lives – that they are in the driving seat, and life isn’t just ‘happening to them’.  

+ People who feel weighed down by life pressures and want support to get through and out the other side.  

How will our transformational coaching partnership work?  

Together we will create a powerful coaching partnership.

I will create a deeply safe, supportive and judgement-free space, where you feel comfortable to show up exactly as you are, and explore your situation with openness, curiosity and honesty.  

I will support you to:  

- Get clarity on what you want (what you really want) – identifying what is important to you, and what your fulfilling life looks like. 
- Reconnect with your unique skills, strengths, experiences and resources that will serve and support you to get there. 
- Overcome challenges and discover more helpful ways of thinking and acting for you to make transformational progress  
- Identify a clear way forward – that is right for you, feels good, and will bring sustainable and lasting change.  
- Feel confident and inspired to make this a reality.   
 
I use a blend of evidence-based coaching approaches drawing on Neuroscience, Somatic Coaching and Positive Psychology, and methods which respond directly to what you are bringing to the session, and what works for you as an individual, so there is no ‘one size fits all’ method. 

I am extremely committed to creating inclusive and accessible coaching environments and am flexible and adaptable in my approach to accommodate everyone's different needs.  

/ Confidence / Self Esteem / Perfectionism / People Pleasing / Balance / Personal Development 

I particularly love working with people who care deeply about living a fulfilling life and want to have no regrets at the end of it.

They are deeply caring for other people, their community and society, and they may often feel like:

• They put other people's needs first, often at the detriment to their own
• They feel a huge amount of pressure to live up to high standards they hold for themselves
• They feel their lack of confidence may be holding them back
• They feel there must be more fulfilment they can get from life, but don't know exactly where or how to find it.
• They want to feel more aligned to their values in how they live
• They want to be really living to their most full and free potential
• They want to feel empowered and in control of their lives

I have a 3 month coaching package which consists of: 

• 1 x 90 minute first 1:1 deep dive coaching session
• 5 x one-hour 1:1 coaching sessions
• Access to ‘Space Just for You’ newsletter and resources
• via Zoom, on a fortnightly basis

Investment: £720

Meeting on a fortnightly basis allows time for the client to reflect and put into practice what they have learned and discovered in the session, between each meeting. 

Clients can also continue to invest in further packages of coaching after the initial 3 months.

In order for clients to really experience and understand how coaching with me works, and for us both to decide if we make a good coaching relationship, I offer you a gifted initial powerful coaching conversation. This is so you can get real value from this one-off session, and also be in the best place to make an informed decision about whether we continue to work together. I want you to feel great about making this investment in yourself and want you to feel like you've found the right coach for you. 

I work with people who...

Are dedicated to the process of coaching, and are committed to showing up to each session in their fullest, and doing the work in between sessions. This is so they get the fullest impact and transformation for themselves. 

Are curious to explore themselves, their situation and their aspirations so they build a high level of self awareness and insight that will support them greatly.

Are open to seeing things from new perspectives, to have their ideas expanded, to trying different approaches, tools and exercises to support truly meaningful and personal growth.

Are ready to take action and to make real change to create the fulfilling life they desire.

Testimonials: 

‘Clare’s coaching has helped me become more clear about the goals I wanted to achieve and helped me with my self-confidence which I was really struggling with. Clare helped me explore resources that I didn’t realise I had within reach. She was great at listening to my concerns. She was brilliant at making me feel at ease in a supportive and nurturing environment.’ 

'My coaching session with Clare provided powerful insights which are already delivering results. Clare is a great listener and her thought-provoking questions helped me to unpick unhelpful beliefs about myself, all in a relaxed atmosphere where I felt incredibly comfortable. She also shared valuable insights into ideas I was holding on to which were sabotaging my efforts. I am now moving forward with confidence in an area where I was feeling very ‘stuck’. Whether you are looking to do a deep dive into a particular area of your life or work as I was, or are looking at more in-depth, longer-term coaching, I highly recommend Clare’s compassionate, empowering and effective approach.' 

'Before I started working with Clare, I was locked in cyclical thinking about whether I was doing the right thing with work. I was aware that work was potentially affecting my health, family, and well-being. I also felt that I wasn’t reaching my potential professionally.  

During our sessions, Clare was a patient listener. At first, I expected to be given answers and solutions but that didn’t happen. Rather, Clare created spaces from which I was able to start untangling some of my thoughts and challenging some preconceptions about my situation. This felt slightly uncomfortable at first but with Clare’s support and encouragement, it was immensely helpful. It was beneficial to realise that there was a lot more that was in my control than I had realised. At the end of each session, I always came away with a much clearer understanding of what was going on and what I needed to do. I also felt that I had some answers and solutions to the problems which I had started the session with. 

Now I feel a lot happier in my current role and feel that I can achieve a healthy work-life balance. I have a clearer idea of what I want to achieve in the future and how I can go about doing that. Most importantly I feel that I have learnt some skills and confidence to be able to work out challenges myself.    

I would recommend Clare as a coach to anyone looking for support. It will be a journey of self-discovery that will leave you feeling better, empowered and confident.'

'Clare is an attentive coach who is fully present and provides a safe, sunlit space to be fully in touch with my thoughts and feelings.  Clare's skilled meditation techniques, active listening and gently probing questions created a 'soul workshop' for me to process the trauma of redundancy, identify future life goals, and ground myself in the quiet enjoyment of the present moment.  Thank you, Clare.' 

'I had the privilege of being coached by Clare recently where I was going through a particularly tricky time. Clare created such a safe space for me to show up how I needed to in those moments that mattered and I would always come out of our sessions having worked through a lot and gained a level of clarity.  Time with Clare always felt safe, productive , no judgement at all - her calmness allowed me to explore the things that I needed to and Clares ability to ask the right questions at the right time which can unlock a deeper level of exploration or understanding that I would never have been able to access without her skill as a coach.  Thank you Clare you are a powerful coach and a wonderful human ' 

'Clare’s coaching has helped me become more clear about the goals I wanted to achieve and helped me with my self-confidence which I was really struggling with. Clare helped me explore resources that I didn’t realise I had within reach. She was great at listening to my concerns. She was brilliant at making me feel at ease in a supportive and nurturing environment.’

'I enjoyed a series of coaching sessions with Clare in early 2023. These took place during a period of transition for me letting go of my previous career and responsibilities and starting up a new venture with associated challenges and opportunities. Clare enabled me to focus on what was important and to achieve clarity over priorities. The regular sessions ensured I remained accountable and made progress with launching the venture with associated website and marketing materials...all of which required me to acquire and develop new skills. Clare's thoughtfulness, her intelligence and her empathy all make her an ideal coach and I wish her all the best.' 

'Before I started working with Clare I was feeling like I was in a bit of a decision stale-mate, and frequently sabotaging what I really wanted in order to make career decisions that I knew were expected of me. During our session Clare listened and held a space where I could speak without fear. And in doing so, I gave myself permission to articulate what was important to me, and address some negative thoughts. I had a lot of really powerful breakthroughs. Now, I've learnt so much about what I want to do, and the difference between that and doing what I think I should be doing to impress people that I don't care all that much about. Moving forward, I'm going to be focused on what I want, and not apply for roles I don't want. I would absolutely recommend Clare as a Coach. She is compassionate, kind, insightful, and wise.'
