“Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”

George Bernard Shaw

Our minds are incredibly powerful, but they still can’t tell the difference between reality and make-believe. Changing the stories you tell yourself will reset your beliefs, shift your actions, and bring you the results you truly desire and deserve. It’s never too late to write the story you want.

Can you Rewrite Your Life?

As a writer I know it’s never the first draft that makes the cut. It’s the work we do to write and rewrite that really counts. But can we take this powerful message into our own lives and change the story we’re living in?

Every great story has a pivotal moment, the point where everything changes. For many of us, that moment comes in mid-life. It’s when we’re forced to confront the gap between the life we imagined and the life we’re living, and when we start to question what’s next. These plot twists might be triggered by a career shake-up, personal loss, or the painful realization that we’ve spent too long living for others rather than ourselves.

I know this turning point well. My own mid-life pivots were as challenging as they were transformative. A career I’d built with pride suddenly felt misaligned. Covid and personal tragedy upended every aspect of my life. But I learned that mid-life isn’t a crisis; it’s a chance to write the most exciting chapter yet.

Reignite Your Quest

In every great story, the hero finds a mentor to guide them. Frodo had Gandalf. Luke Skywalker had Obi-Wan Kenobi. Sarah Connor became a guide for her son, John, preparing him to save the future from AI. These mentors didn’t fight the battles for their protégés, but they provided something even more important: wisdom, clarity, and the belief that the hero already had everything they needed to succeed.

As a fiction author, I’ve always been fascinated by the role of the mentor in a protagonist’s journey. Coaching works in much the same way. A good guide doesn’t impose answers, they help uncover them. They provide structure, tools, and a safe space for exploration. They challenge assumptions and celebrate wins.

Whether you’re navigating a major career or life change, or simply looking for a renewed sense of purpose, coaching provides the mentorship to help you thrive.

A Case Study in Resilience

My own journey through mid-life pivots took me from one career as a design consultant to my most cherished childhood dream of being a published author. I’ve navigated family separation and personal trauma to become a certified Journal Coach, writing courses and teaching journaling to Wellbeing Professionals as CPD.

Working with such incredibly gifted people inspired me to pursue an Integrated Diploma in Resilience Coaching myself. This program has equipped me with holistic tools and techniques to help people navigate transitions, build mental and emotional resilience, and rediscover their passion for life.

As I prepare to complete my diploma, I’m offering an exciting opportunity to work with me on your own mid-life transformation. In January 2025, I’m opening just 7 spaces for individuals ready to step into the next chapter of their lives as part of my case study program. As one of these 7 participants, you’ll receive personalized, transformative coaching while playing an integral role in shaping my work in narrative theory and coaching.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to take the next step, this could be it. But with only 7 spots available, these spaces will fill quickly. Click the link to learn more, explore your options, and apply for your chance to join this unique journey.

 FAQs

  • Coaching is a collaborative process designed to help you unlock your potential, clarify your goals, and take meaningful action toward achieving them. Unlike therapy, which often focuses on healing the past, coaching is future-focused, empowering you to move forward with confidence and purpose.

    I work with Resilience Strategies, Cognitive Behavioural Coaching, Solution-Focused Coaching, Journal Coaching and Narrative Dialogue.

  • As a case study you will not pay for your coaching. Our work together forms the final part of my training, after rigorous skills development and supervision. Our work will be supervised remotely by my course provider.

  • My niche is in mid-life transformation. Because I have experienced so much myself in this period of life, I am deeply connected to the potential this part of our life’s journey holds for us. This might include career change, relationship realignment or release, personal purpose, or social mission. It might revolve around the changes that come with empty nesting, or the impact of menopause. It might involve the pursuit of a long-cherished dream. While I hope to persuade more mid-lifers to embrace this extraordinary shift with courage and confidence, I also work with clients at any time of life who feel a powerful need for change. If it feels like your story is a little stuck, I’d love to help you unpick the plot holes and move into a new chapter.

  • We will first explore what you hope to get from coaching with a free discovery call. This will give you a chance to get to know me a little, to discuss what you want to pursue in coaching, and to decide if you want to continue. If we decide to work together you can choose from a range of three options to suit your needs.
