I work with clients with a broad range of needs but at least one of the following:
I particularly love to help people who have never really considered coaching before. Perhaps they don’t even think they need one, but do know that something needs to change.
If you’re unsure whether this is for you, I’d love to explain what I do and see if it can work for you with a free telephone session.

I completed my first coaching qualification back in 2003 in Neuro Linguistic Programming, and I’ve been undertaking coaching in a work context ever since…
Clare was amazing, I was wanting a career move but terrified of interviews. I had been with my employer for 16 years and found the thought of applying elsewhere really daunting. Each session focused on my confidence, identifying my strengths, completing applications and techniques for interview questions. I cannot thank Clare enough for how she has improved my self-confidence and drive. Colleagues have commented on what a difference they are seeing and I have been offered two out of the three roles I applied for. Really life changing, will be recommending to lots of friends.
Clare is a fantastic coach. We quickly established a great rapport and she was incredibly effective at drawing out key points from what I was saying and reflecting them back. This enabled me to quickly progress to clarify my objectives, prioritise them and develop a clear and pragmatic list of tangible actions which I started to implement immediately. I have worked with other coaches in the past and none have come close to Clare in helping me clarify and order my own thoughts into tangible objectives and actions. I came away from each session energised and motivated. I look forward to continuing to work with Clare in the future.
I was very unhappy in a job I didn’t love but didn’t have the direction I needed to do something about it. Clare helped me relax and focus on the path in front of me. My uncertainties and feelings of helplessness started to slowly subside as I realised, that I was capable of much more. Clare’s approach completely blew me away and soon after, I handed in my notice at work and secured myself a new job doing what I love.
Working with Clare enabled me to gain clarity on my plans for my business and was a really enjoyable process too.
As a coach Clare helped me to expand my views across all pillars of my life and really hone into specific areas which needed more attention. Through her great questions and attentive listening I was able to really make life changes for the better.
The experience I had with Clare really impacted my life as she helped me to step out of my comfort zone. Clare helped me to realise what I was missing and what I needed to change. So much so I applied for a management job I thought I will never get, and got the job.
Truly eye opening, reassuring, supportive yet challenging of my beliefs and something it would be great to continue. She helped me to gain focus and break larger problems into achievable and manageable goals and allowed me to see any goal I set myself as achievable
Clare naturally created a comfortable and open space for me where I did not feel judged. It helped me break down small manageable tasks so that I would have balance in my life, especially as a mother.
Clare's ability to understand issues and set an appropriate line of questioning will bring results from the first session, manifesting itself from having a plan of actions to having a breakthrough and rethinking behaviour. You cannot put a price on feeling unburdened, more self-aware, and better organised. Do yourself a favour a book a session with her today. You won't regret it.
She helped me to think outside the box when applying for jobs. When I thought that there was nothing else that could be done, she would ask intelligent questions that would make me think of things that I would of overlooked without her help. She also coached me on interviewing skills, encouraging me to show my personality and be confident in who I am. I believe I would never have done this as much without Clare’s coaching.
Clare did a great job at guiding me to uncover my underlying values. Getting those clear in. my mind really helped me to critically assess the options ahead of me, all with the help of some direct questioning and observations by Clare. I’d absolutely recommend her as a coach.
I donate a portion of my profits from SimplicityFirst to a local environmental charity I believe in passionately, and also support pro bono with my time.
To support a range of people to access coaching, I offer a discounted rate for those in need. If you want to commit to coaching, but are not able to pay my full rate, I have a fixed allocation of slots at the reduced rate and fund this via putting aside a percentage of income from my other clients. If you need to access this service and no slots are available, I may be able to add you to my waiting list.
