Purpose and transition coaching for people navigating meaningful change in their lives, leadership or work.
When the old way no longer fits and the next chapter is still taking shape, I help you find clarity, connect with your inner wisdom and make choices that are true to who you are becoming.
Sometimes we find ourselves in a place where things no longer feel as though they fit. Our way of living, leading or working needs to change, but what should come next is not yet clear.
The need to find a new way forward may come from a change in circumstances: a growing business, a new role, a new place, an unexpected disruption, a health crisis or a loss.
Sometimes little has changed outwardly, but something within you knows that the old way is no longer right.
I work with people, including founders, leaders and experienced professionals, who are navigating periods of meaningful change. Their circumstances may be demanding a personal shift, or an inner evolution may be asking them to make different choices in their lives, leadership or work. Often, the two are inseparable.

My work creates space to slow down, hear yourself clearly and connect with your inner wisdom.
I do not prescribe an answer or rush you towards reinvention. I help you understand what is changing, notice the patterns and identities shaping your response, and remain openhearted and steady while you find your own way forward.
The aim is clearer judgment, choices that feel aligned, and practical movement towards what comes next.
Explore the seven-session coaching journey →One-to-one coaching for people navigating personal, professional or leadership transition. The main offer is a seven-session journey combining integral coaching, the Enneagram, a developmental maturity lens and embodied awareness.
Explore individual coaching →I also work with founders, boards and leadership teams when business growth or changing circumstances create new strategic, leadership and organisational demands.
Explore work with organisations →My approach is integral. It works with the whole person: how you think, feel and act, and the relationships and systems around you. It helps insight become change you can live, rather than an idea you understand but struggle to apply.
Where useful, I draw on an assessment that brings together the Enneagram and a developmental maturity framework. This can help you see the patterns shaping how you respond, recognise strengths and blind spots, and understand where growth may be possible.
Embodied awareness is also central to the work. By paying attention to what is happening in the body and in the present moment, we gain access to forms of knowing that thought alone can miss.
My work is informed by psychology, mindfulness and wisdom traditions, but it remains grounded in the realities of everyday life, leadership and work.
Read about my coaching model →My approach is also grounded in lived personal and organisational experience. I have founded and led businesses, worked as a managing director and chief strategy officer, advised boards, and developed leaders and teams.
Along the way, I have navigated entrepreneurship, emigration, career change, parenthood, personal loss and health challenges, and experienced failure as well as success.
This means I understand transition from more than one angle. I can work with the inner experience of change while remaining attentive to the choices, relationships and practical realities around it.
Our conversations are spacious but purposeful. You can expect deep listening, honest reflection and questions that help you see familiar situations differently.
We may work with thought, emotion, embodied awareness, relationships and the wider systems shaping your experience. Where helpful, I will offer practices, reading or reflection between sessions.
The work follows a clear path, but it is not formulaic. We stay close to what is alive for you and to the change you want to make.
“The guidance from Helen, mindfulness exercises and how well structured the sessions were have really opened up opportunities to build self-awareness, critically think, gain new perspectives, be supported, challenged, inspired, encouraged and ready to change and reach new levels, not only in my journey as a leader, but as a human being.”
“I am deeply grateful for the coaching sessions I had with Helen. She is incredibly professional without losing her warmth and empathy. She is authentic as a coach and asks very insightful questions that help you delve deeper in order to find clarity. She also challenged my thinking and I walked away from every session feeling renewed and inspired.”
“Helen as my coach has the ability to get me into the right frame of mind, allowing spaciousness to talk things through, paying attention to what the body is doing, what I am thinking, and how my emotions are feeling. Her coaching meant I was able to make beneficial changes in my professional and personal life.”
