Coach / Guide / Facilitator / Sherpa

Susan is a sherpa (not one that guides people through the Himalayas, although she'd love to do that too!), she is a coach who walks alongside people who want to experience life differently.

Susan has always been fascinated with people and understanding why they do what they do. She followed her curiosity into Psychology, then into a career in Learning & Development and on to a pathway of self-employment as a coach. Throughout, she had a continual sense of seeking which led her to explore NLP, Neuroscience, Mindfulness, Buddhism and a variety of spiritual practices such as meditation and qigong which are both now part of her daily life.

What has become very clear to her is that we are all on a journey of discovery (whether we are conscious of that or not) and as such we are constantly seeking to understand how the world works so we can work out how we fit into it. With 25 years of experience working with clients she has recognised that for most of us, most of the time, we are seeking answers “out there” when in fact what we really want to know comes from discovering the wisdom “in here”. It is really a journey of inner development.

And that is where Susan's purpose and intention have evolved from. She is here to support others who find themselves at a point on their lives where they are seeking answers but are finding that the usual sources are not resonating any more. Drawing on the insights and discoveries she made along the way, she is able to show people a pathway to their own inner development and walk alongside them to guide them back when they lose their way.
