Award-Winning Leadership Coach and Executive Life Coach: Your Life, Your Way (yes, really)
Raised in the army, I’ve long been an analytical thinker, interested in facts, evidence + processes. It’s no surprise I was a BBC journalist for many years; quickly getting to the core of every story + distilling the facts or easy understanding.
For a while, I loved my life. I was high potential talent. I was getting ahead.
Ambitious + outwardly successful, I reached my early 30s + should have felt on top of the world.
But I didn’t.
MY STORY
Instead, I woke up every day desperately unhappy with where I lived, my relationship + my career path.
Everything felt ‘wrong’, but I had no idea why or what to do about it.
Trying harder, working harder + thinking harder didn’t work.
The skills I had relied on to that point were useless.
What should I do?
My personal life was a mess. I had a 2-year-old daughter.
I was worried about myself and my new family long term.
I turned to food, to alcohol, to binging on TV to numb out. That only made me feel worse.
The packet empty, the bottle drained, the TV off – all my feelings rose to the surface.
Feeling rock bottom, I signed up for a 45-minute coaching call with a professional executive life coach.
It’s no exaggeration to say that it changed my life.
Now I’m here to change yours.
But it’s not that I think I’m perfect – far from it.
I’m a work in progress, just like you are.
Now I’m an executive life coach it’s my mission to help you get to a place where YOU can take ownership of YOUR life + make the changes you yearn for.

I’m also a work in progress
I’ve literally picked myself up off the floor + over 14 years experience as an executive life coach developed a successful business + a life I love.
I’ve raised my daughter Amelie in the way I wanted to + paid the mortgage + the bills in the process.
I’ve harnessed my natural skills + abilities + learned how to be more present in my life + more effectively manage difficulties.
I’ve had coaching + therapy which has only served to make me stronger + better as a person, leader + parent.
Now I walk my talk every day.
(Even when it’s REALLY HARD)
I do the mindfulness + morning routines I advocate.
I have radically shifted my work life balance to spend more time with my daughter, friends and family.
I take care of my physical and mental health
I am living a fuller + richer life than ever before.
I live my purpose through my work
I face my fears head on.
What could you do with my help, supported by me as your coach?
Absolutely anything you want to.

Testimonials
Here’s what they have to say about me, my coaching skills + my core competencies as a leadership coach.
Before I met Sue, I found work challenging and stressful. It stopped me from doing my job well and affected my non-work life. I wasn’t sleeping well and was finding it hard to find time to do things I enjoy.</em>
Working with Sue is like working with a trusted professional who has your best interests as her goal. She emotionally tuned-in, really listens and offers concrete, actionable feedback. This helped me to focus on just being me in sessions without worrying too much about ‘what I will be perceived as’.
After coaching with Sue, I now manage a growing, international team of doctors and researchers and have managed to keep my team engagement score higher than the company average. I am also enjoying taking breaks to spend time with my family without feeling guilty. I am getting fitter and healthier than before.
Sue was a huge help to me when I reached a point where I was struggling to balance work, family and overall stress. She helped me approach these problems from a completely different perspective than I’d ever thought of myself and soon, I was seeing a route out of my deep rut. She helped me trust my own values and judgement which resulted in me leaving London, changing job, reducing my stress and having more time to spend with my family and myself. From someone who would have previously snubbed the idea of seeking such help, I now can’t recommend it enough. I would highly recommend Sue to anyone.
Working with Sue has helped me grow and learn as a Co-Active coach enormously – Sue has demonstrated and explained all of the CTI principles with clarity and transparency. She has helped me understand my saboteurs, my life purpose which was still unclear even after core curriculum, and connect me to my strengths. She has helped me with clients to serve them best.
Sue is worth every penny – she is informative, brilliant, supportive, extremely knowledgeable about CTI, holds you accountable to your goals, will help you develop your business such that you will reap the benefits financially.
Sue is an incredibly astute, insightful & pragmatic coach. I could easily connect with her approach of viewing me as a whole, realising that who I am in my personal life directly affects who I am in the business context. She is warm and welcoming, which allowed me to trust her to help me work through blockers that were inhibiting aspects of my development. Within three months, I gained new skills to deal with challenging situations on my own terms. Her work is as deep and meaningful as you allow it to be. I highly recommend Sue for individuals and companies alike.
