Care to know when?

Hi, I'm Claire

Coming Soon:
A soulful space for women who are done with people-pleasing, ready to press pause, and curious about what it might look like to put themselves first — maybe for the first time in a long time.

Hi, Claire here.
I’m a coach, facilitator and speaker with over 20 years’ experience supporting women through personal and professional change. My background includes senior roles in HR and the NHS — years spent helping others hold it all together, even while quietly burning out myself.

These days, I work with women who are done being everything to everyone.
The ones who keep showing up, keep smiling, keep getting it all done — even when it’s costing them more than anyone knows.

For years, I made sure that I seemed like I was doing fine — holding it all together, being who everyone needed me to be.
But underneath it all? I was often exhausted, managing everything under a quiet hum of anxiety no one could see.

Like so many women, I became an expert at people-pleasing — and somewhere along the way, I lost sight of myself.

Now, I help women at a crossroads — the ones finally ready to ask:
“Hang on — what about me?”

That’s where the good stuff begins.

It’s time to get brave — not in the jump-out-of-a-plane kind of way (though go you if that’s your thing).
I mean the everyday kind of brave:
Saying no without guilt.
Speaking up without shrinking.
Letting yourself want more.

✨ Something honest, practical, and full of heart is coming.
If that sounds like your kind of thing, pop your email in to the right — I’ll make sure you’re the first to know.

"I started off thinking there was no chance whatsoever that I could give up drinking"

The highest value (working with Claire) was in having someone checking up on me. I suppose an accountability partner.

With drinking, you can’t get that from anyone else in your network, because either they’d be ‘drinking buddies’ (at least at some level) or people to whom you might not want to reveal this kind of stuff.

But having someone who’s bothered, who cares, is critical to get you through those thought-bomb moments when part of you is thinking, “If I have just one, it won’t matter, nobody will notice, nobody will care.
