What about me?
A practical space for women ready to stop people-pleasing and finally put themselves back in the picture.
- Actually saying no (not just thinking about it)
- Saying what you think (out loud)
- Getting clear on what matters to you

I'm Claire
For years, I held it all together — senior HR roles, NHS leadership, supporting everyone else through change. I looked fine. I said I was fine.
Underneath? Exhausted. Anxious. An expert people-pleaser who'd completely lost sight of herself.
Sound familiar?
I work with women at that same crossroads — the moment you're finally ready to ask: Hang on, what about me?
That's where everything shifts.
What I'm Building
Retreats where you can press pause, reconnect with what matters, and practice choosing yourself without guilt.
Coaching that's honest, practical, and helps you stop abandoning yourself to keep everyone else happy.
Tools and resources for setting boundaries, understanding your nervous system, and getting comfortable with being uncomfortable.
Stay Updated
Something honest, practical, and full of heart is coming.

"I started off thinking there was no chance whatsoever that I could give up drinking"
JR, Yorkshire UK
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.
