Hello and welcome to my very first blog as Sue The Wellbeing Coach.
I thought the best place to begin would be by introducing myself and sharing a little about why I started my coaching journey.
I’m divorced, a mum to two grown-up children, post-menopausal, and happiest when I’m outside in nature surrounded by my animals. I have a real passion for interiors and also run another small business, Willow & Hen, which allows me to express my creative side.
Over the last ten years, I’ve found myself at many life crossroads, during that time I worked with various coaches and therapists, searching for clarity and support as life shifted and changed. In 2023 I made the decision to train as a Life Coach, I won’t lie — going back to “school” felt incredibly daunting — but I absolutely loved it and proudly gained my accreditation by the end of that year.
At the beginning of 2024 I came to a difficult realisation: I wasn’t in a good place. I had lost sight of who I was and felt like I was simply surviving rather than living. As a result, I sold my house, ended a long-term relationship, and moved temporarily into my parents’ annexe with the intention of giving myself the time and space to find myself again.
Sadly, life had other plans. Towards the end of 2024, my mum became very ill and she passed away in January 2025. The grief of losing her, alongside the loss of my relationship and not having a home of my own, made the start of 2025 incredibly challenging – once again I turned to coaching for support.
Being completely honest, finding myself again took time — much longer than I expected and just as I was beginning to steady myself, I had to say goodbye to my much-loved German Shepherd at the end of September. My heart was heavy and I knew I needed space to breathe.
So I took myself away for a week to one of my favourite places, I spent time walking Bertie (my other dog), being outdoors, and stepping away from the noise of everyday life. It was during a walk through the hills on a wet, miserable day that something quietly clicked into place.
I realised that everything I had experienced had led me here.
It was there that Sue The Wellbeing Coach was born.
I realised how deeply I want to support other women who find themselves at a crossroads — women who feel lost, uncertain, or disconnected from who they are. My work isn’t about endlessly digging into the “why” of the past; it’s about the how of moving forward.
How do I move on from here?
Who do I want to be now?
What do I dream of for my life?
And how can I begin to make that happen?
I want to be the coach I needed ten years ago — when I first got divorced and stood alone in my house, wondering what my life would look like now. The coach who holds space, offers clarity, and gently guides you forward — with compassion, honesty, and hope.
If you’re reading this and feel like you’re standing at your own crossroads, please know: you’re not alone — and it’s never too late to begin again.
I know how disorientating it feels to lose your sense of self — and how much courage it takes to begin again and I want you to know you can do it.
This blog will be a space where I share reflections on life’s twists and turns, rediscovering joy, and gently moving forward at your own pace.”
