About me

'Life is for living, live with purpose and no regrets!'
Susan works with clients who feel that they require career coaching or personal development, whether it be for increased confidence, motivation or to take time to review where they are at the moment. 
Susan has been assisting people of all ages and backgrounds for over 16 years. Her wide-ranging qualifications, knowledge and experience illustrate Susan's holistic approach towards the range of issues facing people in the complex and busy world in which we live.

  • Confidence and Self-esteem
  • How to be happy
  • Personal health and well-being
  • Life Balance
  • Money/ Finance and planning for the future...take control
  • Dreams and achievements... you are only limited by your vision
  • Relationships...yourself, friends and family
  • Career development
  • Handling baggage and clutter...take the weight off your shoulders
  • Communication skills...see it clearly in your mind, body and voice


Bespoke Interview/ Career Coaching
We offer sessions to work with you to identify your career goals and develop the skills to help you to achieve them.

We work with people who have lost the key element of themselves.... who they are and who they want to be. This work requires a coaching relationship that allows time for you to explore areas of your life that you wish to change and to take you back to the core aspects and values of your life that have been missing.
