Getting Straight With Selfish
Before you delve any deeper into my online home – I need to set the record straight on ‘selfish’. If you worry about being seen as selfish for spending time on yourself, you are probably one of the least selfish people on earth. And that won’t change because that’s who you are at your heart. To be selfish means to lack consideration for other people or to be chiefly concerned with your own profit or pleasure. Spending some well-needed, well-deserved time to focus on you – will never make you selfish. When you’re running that hot bath, doing that yoga class, or going for that run, are you totally lacking in consideration for everyone and everything else? Are you putting yourself in a more profitable place than the others are? Or are you re-fuelling so that you don’t grind to an almighty great halt? Re-energising, so that you can continue to serve? As women in society, we have been instilled with the belief that turning away from our service to others – to look inwardly and to tend to ourselves and our own needs – carries a certain shame and dishonour. This is not the truth. At least it doesn’t have to be yours.
So let’s explore a world where it’s not just OK – but essential to think and feel like yourself. A world where you can be unapologetically you. A world where you just being in it, makes all the difference. A world where you can talk about and be all things ‘self’ without being labelled the ‘ish’.

Learning to Self-Serve
In our world today there are far too many extrinsic measures of worth and not nearly enough intrinsic. Society is teaching us to constantly look outside of ourselves, which is a big reason I became a Personal Development Coach for women; so that I can support my clients to start looking inwardly, to grow in self-worth and to thrive from the inside out. There’s so much of your ‘self’ you can serve and nourish, that contributes to inner health and wellbeing.
People-Pleasing, Soul-Receding
Constantly worrying about what others think of you can lead to people-pleasing behaviour where obtaining approval from others becomes more important than your value to yourself. When you look outwardly much more than inwardly, you loose connection with your soul – your very essence, your true self. Ignoring and pushing away your own wants and needs in order to accommodate others is a sure-fire path to emotional overwhelm and burnout, whilst having everyone else to blame. This loss of self-connection can lead to feelings of low self-worth, lost identity and a vicious cycle of guilt, shame and self-aversion.

Client Love
“I had recently resigned from a job of 17 years – with no idea what to do next. I felt lost and unsure of myself, stuck in a negative mindset, constantly self-doubting and feeling guilty when it came to my own self-care. My coaching series with Claire helped me to set and focus on goals that identified where I wanted to be, and positively challenged me around my future career and my self-care. Through the uplifting and supportive sessions, I have been able to focus on myself again, reconnect with my values, qualities and skills, and attempt new things without my inner critic overwhelming me with the messages that I can’t and shouldn’t. I have the self-belief to go for jobs that I would have previously talked myself out of and a new lease of life at the gym – where I am trying anything and everything new!”
Louisa
“I had never worked with a Life Coach before and wasn’t sure what to expect and if it could help, especially as I was in a difficult phase of life. I would describe my coaching series as inspirational, revolutionary and profound.
Claire is a fantastic coach who met me exactly where I was in my life. Her excellent level of coaching expertise inspired me to show up and do my best to achieve results. Claire was approachable and open and always made me feel like my goals were totally within reach. There was a fantastic amount of support between sessions which really helped me keep on track and feel like I was part of something great.
I have definitely felt increased resilience, confidence and an ability to show up more authentically. The whole experience was fantastic and extremely valuable. I’m definitely going to be signing up to another series to build on the solid foundations created from this one.”
Helen
“I was at a crossroads with my career and keen to explore my options with someone outside of my usual network. Claire’s Escape and Explore session helped to relieve the overwhelm I was feeling and to open myself up to other options and opportunities beyond my original view. My time with Claire was positive, insightful and action-orientated and I would definitely recommend her!”
Susan
“I had an Escape and Explore Session with Claire because I was feeling frustrated and stressed with my work situation. I felt that coaching would help me to think about the changes I need to make and spur me into positive action for myself. The session was motivating, calming and focused and Claire supported me to see what I need to do in order to improve my work/life balance moving forward. I came away feeling more positive, hopeful and with a list of actions to start making change.”
Clare
“Before I began coaching with Claire, I was stressed and unhappy at work, lacking purpose and vision, and unsure where to take myself next. In addition, I was finding it hard to put myself first and was constantly spreading myself thinly. I felt overwhelmed – but after leaving the first session with my defined goals I had a sense of relief that I’d finally invested in myself.
The coaching has helped me to be more honest, kind and patient with myself and provided clarity around my passions and interests. It has enabled me to be a better mum, wife and friend as I feel more in control of what I want and need. Others have noticed I’m less stressed, more present, more focused, passionate and purposeful – and they are excited to support me to follow my heart rather than my head.
I’d describe my coaching experience with Claire as true, enlightening and essential. She is an amazing coach who has inspired me to be the best version of myself, to be comfortable with the uncomfortable and to slow down. This is just the beginning of my journey and I look forward to further sessions!”
Bethan
““It felt really freeing to speak openly with Claire who was completely non-judgmental and very understanding. Claire helped me to get clarity over some issues that I was facing. By the end of the one-hour session I had some really useful advice and tips that would help me take more control and I felt empowered to do so! Within two weeks of the session, following Claire’s guidance and suggested actions I definitely saw and felt positive improvements, and continue to do so. The experience was empowering, clarifying and enjoyable and I intend to partake in more coaching with Claire in the future.”
Heather
“I’d never experienced coaching before my Escape and Explore session with Claire. I was feeling unsure about my next move with my career and curious about how coaching might help. The pre-coaching questionnaire helped with focus and the one-hour session helped me to gain clarity around the path I want to take and the sorts of jobs to apply for, as well as the action I needed to take to honour myself and grow in self-trust and confidence. The 30-minute follow-up helped me to remain accountable to my actions and feel motivated and supported. My coaching experience with Claire was safe, reflective and inspiring and has really helped with making an important life decision, as well as prioritising my day-to-day tasks and responsibilities.”
Sophie
“I felt drawn to coaching with Claire after relating to one of her social media posts. I was feeling overwhelmed with balancing my work in the NHS, running my own business and being a single mum. The sessions were enlightening, nurturing and compassionate whilst I discovered how to feel more contented in my working life and present and grounded in my home life. As a result of the coaching, I am less anxious, I allow myself time for me and being with my partner, without feelings of guilt, I have more direction in my career and my children have told me I am more chilled out!”
Nic
“I started the sessions in a toxic job with no creative outlet and jumped at the opportunity to delve deeper into what needed to change for me personally and how I could embrace moving forward. I was in another role before the series was up! I found the sessions positive and enlightening and now find myself far less bothered by other people’s opinions and more focused on how I feel! I never realised how deeply I would appreciate coaching with Claire and what it has changed for me.”
Sarah-Jayne
“I started coaching with Claire having taken on a new job which was quite a big change. I was getting very frustrated with myself for getting ‘in my own way’, constantly over-thinking and doubting myself. I felt nervous about being open and honest but Claire was so easy to talk to. She helped me to appreciate that all my thoughts and feelings are valid and deserving of attention – however trivial they may seem. By the end of the first session I was confident with what I wanted to aim for and that Claire was able to support me on my journey. My coaching experience with Claire was caring, thought-provoking and empowering.”
