A Bit More About Me
My story so far...
I’ve always felt a deep connection to the sea. Growing up in Galway and now living on the stunning North Coast of Ireland, walking along the shore has always been where I feel most at peace—it lights up my soul.
At 15, I left home for boarding school in Dublin, and soon after, my dream of becoming a nurse became a reality when I trained at Our Lady’s Hospital for Sick Children, Dublin. Nursing was more than a job; it was a calling—one that shaped my heart for helping others through life’s hardest moments.
Six years after qualifying, I moved to Northern Ireland to begin a new chapter as a church minister’s wife. At the same time, I changed career direction, moving into the fast-paced world of A&E nursing—a role that challenged and shaped me in ways I never expected.
Over the next 19 years, life was full on—house moves, job changes, the heartbreak of failed IVF and miscarriages, and the absolute joy of welcoming our two beautiful boys into the world.
But sadly in 2016, when they were just four and six, my marriage came to an end, and life as I knew it was turned upside down.
In the years that followed I took time to grieve, heal, reflect, and grow, rebuilding my life, stepping into a future filled with freedom, joy, purpose and hope.
Today, I use my journey to help others find their own way forward, even in the toughest of times. If you’re here feeling lost, please know that you are not alone—there is a way through.

"I was in a very low place when I first connected with Claire and was unsure what to do next as I felt so stuck. Claire helped me to realise that I was focusing all my energy on the negative aspects of my divorce and yet it was only one part of my life. She showed me how to build a life alongside and I found the action plans of small steps with accountability so very helpful.
Her non-judgmental approach meant that I felt free to be open and honest. I couldn’t recommend Claire highly enough to anyone."
Vincent
“I found my voice For the first time in my life - I felt seen, heard and validated. Claire is someone who walks the journey beside you which makes her ability to understand second to none.”
Niamh
"Claire showed me new ways to look at situations and to approach them in a manner that meant my partner didn't automatically shut down. I can truly say that speaking to her about my situation probably stopped me going crazy and I will forever be in her debt."
Tina
“When you have drama in your life, it’s good to have Claire in your pocket to help you face the mess-she has helped me when I was in a very dark place to see there could be a potential chink in the dark.”
Patrick
“Thank you for all your help on my journey. I have come so far. Thank you for all that you have helped me achieve this year. You have been amazing with me and helped me take great steps, move forward and I hugely appreciate that.”
Jason
“Claire has given me courage-courage to make tough decisions. Courage to change, to start the life I desire and to believe that I can do this. She is always calm, wise, intuitive and most importantly she is there as a support to hold me up. She gave me hope and belief that I can do this -that no matter how hard it is or how long it takes.”
Liz
“I want to sincerely thank you for your help, because without your support I wouldn’t be stepping into this version of me - you are a God send and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
Mary
“Thank you for yesterday-as a result of your wise counsel and powerful coaching, I was able to share vulnerability, and we had a great conversation. I feel very supported.”
