Coaching through life’s changes
One-to-one support for people moving through loss, relationship change, identity shifts, bereavement or a new chapter of life.
Coaching through grief, change and transition
Guidance through change and uncertainty
Sometimes, what brings people here is part of something much bigger.
A loss.
A relationship changing or ending.
A role or identity shifting in ways that feel unfamiliar.
There are times when life asks us to become someone new. I offer calm, thoughtful coaching for people moving through grief, change, uncertainty and the process of starting again.
My Experience
Personal experience, lived understanding
Before becoming a celebrant, I spent over 35 years working in senior HR and coaching roles, supporting people through significant periods of change.
I have a postgraduate qualification in coaching and mentoring, and have run a successful coaching practice for many years. Much of my work has involved helping people navigate complex transitions, from career change, organisational restructuring and high-pressure decision making, through to deeply personal shifts such as bereavement, separation and life after long-term relationships.
Alongside this professional experience, I also bring my own lived understanding of loss and change.
I lost my husband after a long illness, and I know what it is to try to find a way forward when life feels completely altered.
I also understand the complexity of family transition. I have experienced the pain of relationship breakdown, the challenge of blending two families with young children, and the patience it takes to build something stable, loving and supportive again.
These experiences have shaped me deeply. They have given me a real understanding of how grief, love, change and family can sit very close together.
So when I say I understand, I do not say it lightly.
I have been there.
What this is
Time to talk, reflect and understand
This is not about fixing anything or rushing you through it.
It is simply a calm, reflective space to talk, think and begin to make sense of what you are experiencing, at your own pace.
For some people, this may be connected to grief.
For others, it may be a relationship shift, a life transition, or a quiet sense that something is changing and needs attention.
My Approach
A calm space for what comes next
Drawing on my coaching background, I will gently guide the conversation where it feels helpful, while leaving space for reflection and whatever feels most present.
There is no set agenda. Just a thoughtful, steady conversation that helps you begin to understand where you are and what might come next.
For some people, this support follows a ceremony.
For others, it stands on its own.
In both cases, it offers space for what comes after, or for what is still unfolding.
Future retreats and slower spaces
Looking to the future
My longer-term vision includes thoughtful retreats and gatherings connected to transition, grief, reflection and meaningful living, with France and Portugal sitting quietly at the heart of that future direction.
