Life, Re-designed
I work with accomplished women who've done everything right and have woken up one day wondering why it doesn't feel like enough. We unpick what's not working and redesign what comes next.
The Life, Re-Designed approach
I’m known for my empathetic, creative and holistic approach.
Working in partnership, we will:
Clarify Your Purpose: Uncover what truly fulfills you and establish a vision for your next chapter..
Challenge Limiting Beliefs: Identify and address old thought patterns that may be holding you back.
Reframe Overwhelm: Shift your perspective and create manageable, actionable steps to bring your mid-life vision to life.
Who I work with
The women I work with are accomplished, capable, and used to figuring things out. Outwardly they're high achievers, many in higher education, creative fields, or senior professional roles. Inwardly many are overwhelmed, running on empty, or carrying a quiet sense that the life they've built no longer fits the person they've become.
What they share is a readiness, finally, to think differently about what comes next.
If you've spent years being highly competent at something that no longer feels like enough, or you're carrying a quiet sense that there's a version of your life that would fit you better, you're in the right place.
How we work together
My approach is grounded in design thinking, iterative, curious, and genuinely human-centred. That means we don't jump to solutions. We start by understanding what's actually going on, challenge the assumptions you've been living by, and build forward from there.
Working together, we will:
● Get underneath the surface; understand not just what isn't working, but why, and what it's been costing you
● Reconnect with what matters; clarify your values, your strengths, and what you actually want from this next chapter
● Design what comes next; create a clear, actionable direction that fits who you are now

Career & Purpose
At a crossroads with your career or sense of direction? Whether you're in academia, a creative field, or simply questioning the path you've been on, we'll get clear on what matters to you now and what a genuinely fulfilling next chapter looks like.

Life Balance
Stretched thin and running on empty? Step into a calm and balanced life, where you show up as your best self. Leave stress and overwhelm behind and create time and space to focus on what’s important.

Vitality & Wellbeing
When everything else is demanding your attention, your own wellbeing is usually the first thing to go. We'll change that, sustainably, and in a way that fits your life. Think of this as your foundations.
About Claire
I know what it's like to build something impressive — and quietly wonder if it's really you.
I spent decades working across fashion and academia. Designer, forecaster, senior leader. By most measures, a career that looked exactly right. And for a long time, it was. But identities shift, priorities change, and the life you constructed so carefully can start to feel like it belongs to a previous version of yourself.
That's the moment I work with.
I'm a certified coach with a background that's a little unusual. I trained as a designer, spent years reading what's coming next as a forecaster, and led people through change as a senior academic. What those things have in common and what sits at the heart of how I coach, is a belief that clarity comes not from having the right answers, but from asking better questions and being willing to think differently about what's possible.
I use a design thinking approach. Not because it sounds good, but because it's genuinely how I think, iterative, curious, human-centred. We don't try to fix you. We figure out what actually fits who you are now, and we build toward that.
I work with accomplished women who've done everything right and woken up one day wondering why it doesn't feel like enough. We unpick what's not working and redesign what comes next.
If that sounds like where you are, I'd love to have a conversation.
