ABOUT
Hi, I'm Claire.
For more than 20 years, I built a career in leadership in financial services and regulation. I was good at it and I was proud of it. Then perimenopause started and nothing prepared me for how much it would change things.
​
It crept up quietly at first. My sleep was impacted. My brain felt foggy in rooms where I'd walks been sharp. My tolerance with others was falling. I had days where I felt exhausted in a way that rest didn't fix. I started feeling anxious in a way I'd never known before. Worst of all, the confidence I'd always taken for granted began to slip. Outwardly I was still doing an important and demanding role, but inwardly I felt less and less like myself. In the end, I made the decision to leave my corporate role.
​
Stepping away gave me space to ask questions I'd never made time for. What do I want my work to look like now? What does success actually mean to me? I'd seen colleagues and clients wrestle with similar questions throughout my career, whether it was stepping into new areas of work, developing as a leader, keeping up with the pace of change and transformation, or wondering whether they are still heading in the right direction. This time, I was living it myself.
​
That's why I'm so passionate about supporting women through menopause, mid-life and the changing demands of leadership.
​
I left my job so you don't have to.
​
My coaching is the space I wish I'd had: thoughtful, supportive, free from judgement. It's a place to step back, explore what is happening, understand what matters most, and reconnect with your confidence and clarity so you can move forward.
​
I believe change can be an invitation to rethink our priorities, recognise our strengths and shape a future that reflects who we are and what matters most. I'm living proof.

My approach and methodology
My work starts by creating space for you to pause, think clearly and reconnect with what matters most.
​
Menopause and perimenopause can affect far more than we expect: sleep, energy, focus, mood and confidence, often while we're still leading teams and carrying real responsibility.
Because I've lived it, I understand how it can made you feel less like yourself, even when you're still performing at a high level. My coaching gives you room to make sense of what's changing and to separate it from what is still true about you: your experience, your judgement and your strengths.
I drawn on over 20 years' experience as a leader in financial services and regulation, building high performing teams and leading organisational transformation. My experience helps us stay grounded in the realities of your role and organisation, so the plans we make work in your working life, not only in theory.
