Who I work with
School Leaders:
- Headteachers running on empty after giving everything to their schools
- Senior leaders needing confidential space to think strategically without political consequences
- Leaders evaluating whether they can sustain the pace to retirement
- Headteachers exploring whether to stay and lead differently, or leave strategically
Career Changers (All Sectors):
- Professionals who know what they do day-to-day but struggle to articulate transferable skills
- Those who’ve sent applications but aren’t getting responses
- Mid-career professionals who can see the next 10 years and don’t want it
- Individuals ready to explore new sectors but unsure where their skills fit
My Approach
My coaching is structured and goal-focused. I listen deeply, ask questions that cut through the noise, and help you see patterns and options you couldn’t see on your own.
In our discovery call, I diagnose what you need and recommend the right level of support. Whether you’re a headteacher needing strategic clarity or a professional translating your skills for a career change, my approach is practical, confidential, and focused on helping you make decisions and take action.

I would highly recommend Claudia’s coaching services. I had six life coaching sessions, where we focused on my career aspirations. We would focus on different topics over the weeks, including how to use LinkedIn, how to approach my boss and start a conversation about promotional opportunities, updating my CV and promoting myself and skills to new employers. Before starting the sessions, I had struggled for years with trying to decide which career path to go down. I had lots of ideas but no direction. At the end of the sessions, I feel that I have found a career path that I am pursuing and working towards. I feel at peace that I have finally answered this question and I have grown in confidence. Claudia is very supportive and is able to come up with suggestions that I had never previously considered.

I can't thank Claudia enough for the incredible impact she has had on my life. Before working with her, I was constantly fatigued, lacked confidence, and felt overwhelmed by everything that was happening around me,. Claudia took the time to understand my unique challenges and crafted a comprehensive plan that was both practical and effective. With her guidance and support, I’ve improved my sleep quality, integrated regular exercise into my routine, and developed healthier eating habits. What I appreciate most is Claudia's holistic approach, which has not only enhanced my physical health but also my mental and emotional well-being. Her compassionate and motivating style has kept me on track even during the toughest of times. I now feel more energised, focused, and happier than I have in years.

Claudia provided me with the tools, knowledge, and encouragement I needed to make meaningful changes.

One of the biggest breakthroughs was realising the connection between my mental and physical health. Claudia holistic approach helped me achieve a balance I never thought possible.
