Hi, I’m Sim.
I’ve spent 19+ years coaching people navigating major changes - redundancy, career change and life after divorce.
I support my clients to gain clarity, feel unstuck and gain confidence. Together we work on how to cut through the overwhelm, disappointment and limiting beliefs. We look at the steps needed to move into the next phase of your life with a positive identity and purpose.
I qualified as a Professional Coach with NLP over 19 years ago. I use established and respected models, such as GROW, OSKAR and Neuro Linguistic Programming. I utilise career coaching and positive psychology tools.
Alongside my coaching practice, I spent more than five years supporting university students to develop employability skills and to start their own businesses.
I continue to offer practical coaching sessions on CV writing, LinkedIn profile development and small business strategy. Whether you're looking to progress your career or grow a business, these sessions will help you present yourself with confidence.
Most recently in my personal development, I completed the CPCAB Level
2 Certificate in Counselling Skills and Level 3 Certificate in Counselling Studies. This has given me insight into different tools and a deeper understanding of feelings during life changes such as redundancy and divorce.
What clients are saying
Antony
Company Director
“I worked with Sim as I was experiencing a number of issues within my business and conflict with my business partner. It really helped to have regular support, a sounding board and a different perspective. I learnt new tools and changed limiting beliefs that were holding me back. It was also really helpful for goal setting and focusing on moving forward during such a pivitol period.”
Amy
Consultant
“Sim has a gift for listening and guiding. She helped me articulate
life and career goals after a painful divorce. We then created a new pathway that I felt excited about.
Her approach is clear, direct and candid and helped me to see my greater intentions. We used tools
that have become the foundation
for my ongoing planning. I highly recommend Sim as an inspiring
and professional coach.”
David
Sales Director
“I was really unhappy in my current
job and it was affecting my wellbeing. Sim helped me to examine my values, skills, unique talents and limiting beliefs. We also reviewed jobs that would fit my personality type and my best environment. This led to research into different options. We also worked on a strategy so that I could enjoy my current life while career transitioning. Sim is great to work with, very motivating but also honest."
Why work with me?
My clients say they like my integrity, warmth and solution focused approach.
I feel I offer both the practical and the emotional support needed during big life changes such as redundancy and divorce.
I have helped many clients who came to me not knowing what they wanted to do in their next act. Through career tools we look at their values, personality, skills, and dream life - to create an inspiring next act.
As well as the career strategy sessions, there is an option, to work together on your CV and LinkedIn profile. Check out my latest article on redundancy in the age of AI.
For those clients looking to start a new business, I have developed a number of business and marketing plans for growing tech, creative and education businesses.
My personal lived experience
I have overcome many things in my own journey and am known for my resilience and optimism.
These changes include relocating, redundancy, career change, difficult relationships, starting a small business, bringing up children, navigating neurodiversity, loss, divorce and dating.
