“If you’re always trying to be normal, you’ll never know how amazing you can be”
– Maya Angelou
Allow yourself the breathing space and thinking time to really get into what you want from your life and what you want your future to look like. Coaching conversations with me are confidential, ethical, honest, joyful and yes, often challenging. It takes work to see a change in your life and then to follow through to reach that vision, no matter how big or small the change is.
Life is short, how can you live it to the best of your abilities and your self?
Are you ready for change?
Do any of these statements ring true for you?
You want to enjoy your job
You want to have more time to do the things you enjoy
You want to show everyone the real you, the confident you!
You want to truly Lead Your way
You want to find out who you really are (not just Mum/Daughter/Carer/Partner/Friend)
Are you frustrated at your lack of progress towards a specific goal you have for your life?
Are you feeling stuck? In your current job, your personal circumstances?
Are you fed up with your team and not seeing the results you want?
How It Works
STEP 1 – CHOOSE YOUR COACHING JOURNEY
Coaching should stretch you, challenge you, be convenient for you!
This is why I offer one-off sessions for ‘just in time’ coaching as well as my 90 day coaching journeys.
Read more below and book a free consult with me today to talk about 90 days of coaching with me.
For immediate focus on a “I’ve got to make this decision soon” or “I need to figure out my way through this problem right now”, book a Power Hour with me.
STEP 2 – GET SOME COACHING!
Coaching is all about you, your agenda, your goals, your development so the motivation to change some aspect of your life needs to be there! I’ll be there as your cheerleader, your honest challenger, your thinking partner BUT the commitment to change and show up as your real, honest self is all YOU!
I work from a values-based, intuitive approach and you may end up with very different goals and actions at the end of a 6 month journey than where you started. But, that’s part of life’s journey! I work in an inclusive, intersectional way and absolutely recognise that a lot of self-development for women leaders isn’t just about changes for YOU, it’s about how to deal with the systemic inequality that you may face at work and in your life.
Coaching isn’t about fixing you, it’s about giving you the tools so you can be confident enough to help fix the world around you! Also, although I will be your biggest cheerleader, coaching with me has no time for toxic positivity – this is your space to recognise ALL the emotions, they’re all useful indicators.
In our coaching sessions together, we may work with thoughts out loud, drawings, metaphors, writing, movement including walk and talk sessions. As your thinking partner, I will help you keep an overview of your coaching journey and you will set the agenda for each session – it’s up to you!
Some of the areas we might work on together are:
Values
Finding your purpose
Your career journey
Support networks
Confidence and habits
Leadership styles
Systemic issues and your work boundaries
Communication skills
Time management
Self-worth

I had a fantastic session with Susan.
She provided invaluable guidance as I sorted through my thoughts and developed actionable plans, helped me confront and overcome my fears, giving me the confidence I really need to pursue my goals.
I did leave the session feeling empowered and ready to take on any challenge.

I began my coaching journey, having never been the recipient of coaching before, and therefore quite uncertain of the structure or the likely outcomes.
Immediately Suse helped me feel secure and comfortable, creating a safe space where I was able to be extremely open and candid. Suse encouraged me to look closely at some of my ingrained behaviours and thought patterns, and challenge the basis of why I felt like an imposter, like I was just lucky, that my success hadn’t been earned.
By embracing Suse’s techniques and my new realisations, I have become secure and confident in myself and my abilities. I have delivered training sessions, and presentations that have received outstanding feedback, but more importantly I’ve felt good about delivering those materials.
“I feel so positive about the changes I have made and can continue to make and really have to thank Susan for helping me to get to this point.
She comes across as a very natural coach who is really able to pinpoint what someone might be struggling with and can also offer some very insightful comments about whatever that might be while guiding you to work out how you might deal with it.
She is supportive, non-judgmental and very easy to talk to.”
“Suse is leading the way forward with her style of coaching! Perfect for people working from home, entrepreneurs.
Suse’s coaching style has a can-do approach.
If you’re looking for motivation and a helping hand in the right direction, Susan is your coach.”
My Approach
I take a values based approach with clients and work from a place of intuition and curiosity. This means that I’ll be deeply listening to you and picking up on what you’re not saying as much as what you are saying! My clients tell me I help them figure their shit out!
Most of all, my approach involves knowing that YOU have the strength and confidence within yourself, I just help you see yourself again.

How Do I know If Coaching is Right For Me?
Here’s some answers to common questions I hear about coaching
What is coaching?
Anthony Grant, a leading coaching psychologist said it better than me:
“A collaborative, solution focused, result-orientated and systematic process in which the coach facilitates the enhancement of work performance, life experience, self-directed learning and personal growth of the coachee.”
People decide to hire a coach for different reasons: personal development, business development, career growth, leadership and communication skills etc.
What these reasons have in common is that coaching is a way to bridge the gap between where you currently are and where you want to be. It’s about the coaching assisting you on your journey by enabling you to set goals and priorities, keep you focused and help you figure out how to be your future self.
Is it like counselling or therapy?
No. Unless they have a separate counselling or therapy qualification, coaches are not qualified to diagnose or treat mental health-related problems, although if the situation arises they may suggest you see a GP, counsellor or therapist.
Whereas counsellors and therapists may focus on your history and how you got to where you are now, coaching concentrates on where you are now and focuses on looking to where you want to be in the future.
Coaching isn't for everyone
If you want to focus specifically on any mental health issues, a coach won’t be qualified to help you. There is now so much help available for any mental health issues, including the fabulous Blurt Foundation, Time to Change and just talking to your GP or Doctor.
If you’re in crisis, speak to your GP or Doctor, call the Samaritans – they are there to talk 24/7, or just speak to someone.
If you just want advice or answers given to you – coaches aren’t your teachers or your Mum. Coaching is about facilitating the answers from within you through powerful coaching conversations. A good coach will challenge you but will not tell you what to do.
If you’re not ready to make any changes to your life. That’s okay, change is really scary and this might not be the time for you to make any changes.
If it's not counselling, why don't I just talk to a friend instead?
Friends are great to have but they’re not always the answer.
Coaching is not about telling you all the answers or just agreeing with you. See coaching more as a conversation that invites you to explore your goals for yourself. A coach is non-judgemental, does not offer unsolicited advice and uses open-ended questions to enable you, the coachee, to set the agenda and determine your goals and priorities.
What are some of the benefits to coaching?
You may gain several benefits from coaching, varying from having a specific time and confidential space for reflection, helping you clarify your goals, raise self-awareness and help you set direction. Read about some of the benefits and outcomes from my clients here.
What do I have to do?
Above all, be motivated to engage in coaching and be willing to embrace change. The gap between where you are now and where you want to be in the future may be very small or may be quite large – it’s the coach’s responsibility to support you but you will be setting the agenda and determining your goals.
How long does coaching last? Is it something I have to do forever?
You don’t have to be coached forever!
Coaching is most effective when it’s time limited.
I offer different programme commitments with my one-off ‘just in time’ Power Hour session to my 90 day coaching journey of fortnightly sessions. Even if you choose to ‘add on’ 1, 2 or 3 months of coaching at the end of your 90 day coaching journey, an additional 3 months is the limit for coaching with me.
The choice is yours. When you book coaching with me, you’ll also receive my 30 Day Reflective Journal for you to download and use to help you beyond coaching.
I have an accessibility need, can you provide this?
I am to be as inclusive as possible in my coaching. I can provide session recordings, transcripts as well as closed captions if we meet on Zoom. Coaching can also be undertaken by phone.
Do contact me with any other specific accessibility requests.
What happens in a coaching session?
What we will focus on in each session is entirely led by you.
Typically, a session includes where you’re at in that moment, what you want to focus on in the session, how you want to focus and we will then look at that focus point in detail (through a series of “powerful questions” to you).
You won’t feel rushed to find a solution by the end of each session (or even by the end of the group of sessions) but you will hopefully feel enabled to move forward with your goals.
Clients often talk about a ‘lightbulb moment’ when they realise through coaching exactly what they need to do to achieve their goals but this isn’t an expectation of every session!
Coaching is led by the client so I offer creative and practical coaching tools as well as us talking.
What's your guarantee?
There are no guarantees with coaching as the answers come from you.
