Hello, I’m Seana
I’m qualified and accredited as a coach and a counsellor, and I love helping midlife women who are feeling lost, stuck or unfulfilled to find purpose, gain confidence and take action to create a clear path forward with their careers and lives.
I also love helping companies who care about gender equity to provide tailored coaching support to the women in their organisations
I work with organisations to support women at key transition moments in their lives and career so that they can attract, retain and develop the female talent they need to thrive as a business.
I am a midlife woman myself and over the last 10 years I have, step by step, created a career path that I love and finally feels like an authentic reflection of who I am and what is important to me.
As a mum of three, I got to a moment when I could no longer make a corporate life work for me and my family, so I put my career on hold and did part time freelance work during school hours and term time to continue to earn some money. When my youngest child started school, I felt I had lost some of my purpose and was a bit lost and directionless.
Whilst I was still working and earning money, I didn’t feel any sense of progression, I was working alone most of the time and I had lost the part of my job that I loved the most – coaching and developing people and teams.
I could see my children starting to form dreams and plans about what they wanted to do with their lives and I felt I couldn’t yet be done with my own dreams and plans. I felt the full loss of the career I had given up, but I had no idea how to pick it back up again in a way that worked for my family too and even whether I wanted to go back to the same type of job or something different.
I embarked on my own journey of self-discovery with a coach to work out who I am, what really matters to me and what I want to do with my life.
I took my first small step forward in 2015 by signing up to a 7-week counselling skills course to dip my toe in the water. On this course I met an amazing group of women, who I am still friends with today. It was a breath of fresh air to bring my full self to something professional after a corporate life where I had learned to put forward a certain persona version of me.
Since then, I’ve become a qualified counsellor, a qualified coach and I have created my own business to support women. There have been moments when the studying, alongside work and the demands of family life, has felt too much. But it has all been worth it to now be doing a job that I love and helping other women find their path forward or feel valued and supported at work. I feel a deep sense of purpose and energised for what each day brings.
