Fed up with the Sunday night dread? Exhausted by work and wondering if there's something better?

Do you find yourself dreading Monday morning before the weekend is even over?

Perhaps you're coming home from work feeling completely drained, with barely enough energy left for the people and things you love. You'd like to relax, switch off and enjoy your evenings, but your mind is still going over everything that's happened at work - or worrying about tomorrow.

Maybe you've lost confidence in yourself. You're questioning decisions you once made easily, feeling overwhelmed by expectations or wondering why work has become so difficult.

And somewhere in the back of your mind, there's a nagging question:

“Do I really want to carry on like this for another 10 or 20 years?"

You know something needs to change. You're just not sure what - or where to start.

That's where I can help.

Hi, I'm Sue 

I'm an accredited life coach, NLP practitioner and hypnotherapist, and I specialise in helping professional women in midlife and beyond who feel stressed, stuck, overwhelmed or unfulfilled in their working lives.

And I understand what that feels like.

After nearly 20 years working in the corporate world, I reached a point where the stress and pressure had taken their toll. I remember sitting at my desk fighting back tears, wondering how I'd reached a place where I felt so unhappy and unsure of myself.

Making changes wasn't straightforward, but that experience eventually led me to retrain as a coach.

It's one of the reasons I'm so passionate about helping other women find their way forward.

What can coaching help you with?

You might be looking for support because:

• Work is taking over your life. You struggle to switch off, feel constantly exhausted and wish you had more time and energy for yourself.
• You've lost confidence in yourself. You're second-guessing decisions, doubting your abilities or feeling that whatever you do is never quite enough.
• You're feeling stuck or unfulfilled. Your career no longer gives you the satisfaction it once did, but you don't know what you'd rather do.
• You're overwhelmed by expectations. You're juggling work, family and everyone else's needs, with very little space left for your own.
• You're ready for something different. Perhaps you're thinking about a career change, a different role or simply finding a healthier, happier way to work.

What happens when we work together?

First, we slow things down.  Rather than rushing into decisions or assuming you need to change jobs, we'll explore what's really happening in your working life and what you'd like to be different.

Through supportive, practical coaching, I'll help you understand what's contributing to your stress or lack of confidence, challenge some of the beliefs that may be holding you back and begin to see your situation from a different perspective.

We'll work towards helping you:

1. Feel calmer, more confident and more in control.
2. Set healthier boundaries and stop carrying work around in your head.
3. Recognise your strengths and trust your own judgement again.
4. Get clearer about what matters to you and what you want next.
5. Make decisions and take realistic steps towards a working life that suits you better.

You don't necessarily need to change everything to start feeling better. Sometimes the answers are often simpler than you might think.

Sometimes it's about changing how you respond to situations. Sometimes it's about recognising that your working environment is no longer right for you. And sometimes it's about giving yourself permission to explore a completely different direction.

There's no one-size-fits-all answer.

Imagine finishing your working day with enough energy to enjoy your evenings and weekends, without work constantly on your mind.

Feeling confident enough to speak up, set boundaries and trust your own decisions.

And looking forward to the next stage of your working life with a sense of excitement and possibility, rather than dread.

That's the kind of change we can work towards together.

Let's have a chat

If some of this sounds familiar, I'd love to hear from you.

I offer a free, no-obligation 30-minute Career Clarity Call. It's an opportunity to talk about what's happening in your working life, what you'd like to change and whether coaching might help. You'll also have the chance to experience a little coaching and see if my approach feels right for you.

You don't need to have all the answers before getting in touch.

Call me, or use the directory's booking link to arrange a time that suits you.

Warmly, Sue

• Workplace confidence coaching
• Midlife coaching
• Toxic work situations

Unfortunate events such as redundancy, failure to reach promotion, new managers etc, can have a big impact on how we feel at work. Sometimes it's simply a gradual dawning that you are in the wrong place, that you are simply not happy. 

Coaching fees 

My Career Clarity Programme is £385 for four 60-minute coaching sessions, giving us time to explore what's happening in your working life, rebuild your confidence and work towards meaningful change.

I also offer individual coaching sessions, and if you'd like to continue after your initial programme, I offer a reduced rate for a further four sessions.

Our first conversation is always free. It's a relaxed, no-obligation 30-minute call where we can talk about what you'd like help with and whether coaching feels right for you.

Where we can meet

Most of my coaching takes place online via Zoom, so you can join me from wherever you are.

If you live within approximately 10 miles of Betws-y-Coed in North Wales, we may also be able to meet in person. This could be at a suitable local venue, over a coffee or even outdoors for a walk-and-talk coaching session.

And if you're not particularly confident with technology, please don't worry. We'll find a way that works for you.
