Hi, I’m Claire — a qualified coach, businesswoman, wife, and busy mum to two energetic boys. After 20+ years in the corporate world, I understand the challenge of balancing a demanding career, family, personal goals, and the mental load of modern life.

The Treadmill Years

My thirties were a whirlwind. On paper, everything looked great: a lovely home, great husband, two children, and a senior leadership role at work. Life was running at 100mph, and I just kept going. But beneath the surface, I felt off. I’d lost touch with who I was and what I wanted. I was stuck on the treadmill, functioning but unfulfilled.

I felt anxious, battled confidence issues and imposter syndrome at work, overthought everything, and lacked mindset tools. I was three stone overweight, neglecting myself, and feeling pretty “meh.” Life revolved around kids and work, and I’d lost my passions and spark. There was no dramatic rock bottom — just a growing sense I wanted more, but wasn’t sure what that meant.

The Turning Point

It started with a pivot in my career that came out of the blue. I’d done well on paper- I had spent over 15 years in sales, making my way to Director level in a big organisation. But once I’d had the kids things had stalled and something was lacking. An opportunity came about to switch direction, and long story short, I made a brave leap in to a brand new function, taking on a role in technology. This was a huge learning curve, but gave me a much needed boost in self belief and a renewed sense of motivation. Things were on the up.

Soon after, I hit 40. I realised this was bigger than just work and things needed to change in other areas of my life too. At this moment, for the first time I made a commitment to myself to become the best version of me that I could, so I really began the work. It started with losing weight. Those early wins gave me confidence, and with that came momentum. I immersed myself in personal development — books, podcasts, and courses. I committed to regular exercise, reshaped my nutrition habits and transformed my relationship with alcohol. I learned how the brain works, and began building a healthier, stronger version of myself. Learning how to manage stress more effectively by creating more work life balance. During this time, working with a professional coach was truly eye-opening and showed me just how powerful coaching can be.

Becoming the Person I Needed to Be

I’m still very much a work in progress, but through all the changes I’ve made in my life, my spark is back and along the way I’ve grown into a more present wife, a more supportive friend, a more compassionate business leader, and most importantly, a better mum.

My journey has led me to invest in training in coaching and positive psychology. I trained with the Coach Business School, founded and led by expert coach, speaker, and author Andy Ramage, and found the experience deeply inspiring (the course was fantastic and is triple accredited by all the major coaching bodies- the AC, ICF and EMCC). I met some wonderful people, learned so much about myself, and discovered a genuine passion for helping others create meaningful, lasting change in their own lives.

Who I Work With

Today, I coach alongside my business career. I work with ambitious women at a crossroads and looking to change. Just like I was a few years back. Women seeking balance, confidence, clarity, and fulfilment — without losing their drive or identity.

My coaching helps you reconnect with what matters, build supportive mindsets and habits, and take practical steps toward the life and career you want.

I combine real-world business and leadership experience, a down-to-earth, honest approach, and a deep understanding of what it’s like to “do all the things”. Whether navigating career change, stepping into leadership, or carving out time for yourself, I support you with empathy, clarity, and zero judgement.

Because you don’t have to choose between success and sanity — you can have both.
