Who I Help

Are you a working parent feeling lost in the daily juggle? Do you find yourself:
  • Lacking "me time" and feeling resentful as a result?
  • Trapped in negative self-talk ?
  • Exhausted from juggling too many responsibilities?
  • Losing sight of what truly matters?
You're not alone. Many parents find that balancing career and family has become a source of stress rather than fulfilment, creating barriers to personal and professional growth.
About Me
Hi, I'm Zoe.

With 27 years of teaching experience and a strong pastoral background supporting students and families, I understand the challenges of balancing a demanding career with family life.
As a working parent of two older teens, I've walked in your shoes. I know how the juggle can impact your personal and professional growth and ultimately your wellbeing.
It was through receiving coaching during a leadership program that I experienced a profound shift in my own life. After feeling like I'd been in a vacuum for nearly a decade, I rediscovered my direction and purpose.
Today, I find peace in nature, particularly walking in the woods with my two dogs. I also enjoy yoga, reading, baking, and journaling.

Alongside my coaching practice, I continue to teach GCSE German part-time and support students with additional needs.
How I Can Help You Thrive
Re-evaluate Your Situation
Together, we'll create an empathetic, non-judgmental space where you can talk openly about your challenges. I'll help you reconnect with your strengths and rediscover what truly matters in your life.
Develop a Positive Mindset
We'll explore new ways of thinking, doing, and being. I'll help you identify what holds you back and develop strategies to overcome these barriers with renewed confidence.
Achieve Lasting Change
Working at your pace, you'll regain clarity and direction in both your personal and professional life. The result? Sustainable changes that bring a greater sense of purpose and wellbeing.
Vision Statement
Shifting perspectives on work-life balance. I empower working parents to reconnect with what truly matters to them, instilling a clear and sustainable sense of purpose and wellbeing in their lives.
Retrouve - This is from the French verb retrouver meaning "to re-find" or "to rediscover." In its reflexive form se retrouver, it means "to meet." I will meet you where you are and help you rediscover aspects of yourself so you can dream big again.
What is Coaching?
What Coaching Is
Coaching works within a professional, ethical framework that is confidential and non-judgmental. It's about helping you reach your goals through supportive questioning that gets you there faster than you might on your own.
In our sessions, you'll discover your strengths and values, reconnecting with what's important to you. With your permission, I may offer feedback and challenge your views to encourage fresh perspectives.
What Coaching Isn't
Coaching is not consulting, mentoring, counseling, or therapy. While we may discuss the past if it's relevant to your current goals, coaches don't solve problems or provide quick fixes.
For our work to be effective, openness and honesty are essential, as is your commitment to working toward your goals.

My Philosophy
I believe our personal and professional lives are closely connected. My holistic, person-centered approach creates a safe, empathetic space where you can discover your true self and work toward reaching your full potential.
My Coaching Packages
Comprehensive Package
Six 1-hour, 1:1 sessions on Zoom, plus a complimentary 30-minute discovery call to connect and explore your coaching goals.

You'll have the chance to ask any questions you may have, and I’ll walk you through what I offer, including pricing and payment options. Packages starting from £400.
Think of it as a test drive to see if we're the right fit!

What should I expect from a coaching session?
Each session is tailored to your needs. Coaching is confidential and it works within an ethical framework. Typically, we’ll clarify your goals, explore challenges, look at your values and beliefs, and develop actionable strategies. It’s a space for you to think, reflect and grow. You'll leave with greater clarity and a clear next step.
How long is each session, and how often do we meet?
Sessions usually last 60 minutes, and we typically meet once a month, depending on your goals and preferences.
How long do clients typically work with you?
It varies. Some clients work with me for a few months to achieve a specific goal, while others engage in longer-term coaching for ongoing support and growth. Change can take time and often clients find growth happens between sessions.
