Clarity & Confidence for the Messy Middle of Midlife.

About me

Is Midlife Coaching for you? Let’s find out:

Midlife can feel like shifting ground. What once made sense no longer does. You might feel like parts of your life are too small, outdated, or simply not “you” anymore. Career, identity, relationships, even your sense of purpose - it’s all up for review.

That’s where I come in.

I’m Vivienne, a life and career coach specialising in midlife transitions. I don’t coach job titles or industries, I coach people. People who are ready to explore what’s next with curiosity rather than panic.

My clients are creatives, leaders, professionals, and changemakers from all walks of life. Despite their diversity, they share a common thread: a desire to stop drifting, reclaim their confidence, and make intentional choices for their next chapter.

Here’s what one client shared:
"Vivienne has unlocked so much; I have a clearer understanding of who I am and where I am going, which has meant massive shifts in how I am showing up. I couldn’t have gotten to this place without Vivienne’s incredible coaching. If you are feeling stuck or overwhelmed or at a loss at what comes next and you want a safe, insightful, fun and honest supporter on your journey, Vivienne is the one who will light the way. I cannot recommend her highly enough."  Debbie, 41

That’s what I help clients do: Find clarity on what truly matters now. Redefine success on their own terms. Reconnect with identity and values and step forward with confidence.

What I can help with:
Midlife crossroads: Feeling stuck or restless? Let’s explore what’s shifting and where you want to head next.
Career transitions: Whether it’s a check-in, a pivot, or a fresh start, we’ll uncover what kind of work feels aligned now.
Overwhelm & burnout: Learn practical strategies and set boundaries that give you space to breathe again.
Rediscovering your identity: If you’ve lost touch with yourself along the way, we’ll reconnect you with who you are becoming.
Big life questions: From family choices to relationships, let’s work through the uncertainty with clarity and confidence.
Life after change: Whether it’s redundancy, a break-up, or kids leaving home, we’ll create a purposeful “what’s next.”

My approach isn’t about telling you how to live your life - it’s about creating the space for you to think.

If you’re standing at a crossroads; restless, uncertain, or simply ready for something more, a discovery chat is a simple first step. No pressure, no preparation. Just a conversation about where you are now, and where you’d love to be. Your future self will thank you.

I look forward to meeting you,
Vivienne

Further information

Here are some of the reasons clients have come to me:

“I was going through a major life pivot - divorce, career change, and relocation. At 40, I thought I should have it figured out, but I felt more lost than ever.”

After being made redundant from a role I loved, I felt overwhelmed and worried I’d fall into procrastination and self-sabotage.”

“I was in a transitional stage - exploring new career options and moving abroad. I felt discombobulated, stuck, and unhappy.”

Sessions with me are exploratory and conversational. Clients often describe them as a collaboration - supportive, friendly, and insightful.

If you’re curious about how coaching could help you untangle your own “messy middle” and move forward with clarity and confidence, book a free discovery chat. It’s simply a chance to ask questions, get a feel for my style, and see if this support is right for you. I look forward to chatting with you.
