Hi, I'm Cleo.
Transformational
Life Coach.
A transformational coach, marketer and a passionate advocate of doing what lights you up. I've spent 15 years in the corporate world and come to coaching through my own lived experience. I understand, because I've been there too.
The story behind
the coaching.
After spending 15 years in the corporate world, managing challenging workloads and strong personalities, I've experienced the harsh realities of stress and hit burn out more than once.
As a sensitive person, an empath, perfectionist and an overthinker, there have been times when life and work has become all too much for me.
I found myself living in a state of overwhelm, often hitting the self sabotage button and turning to unhealthy coping mechanisms, overworking, heavy drinking, isolation and avoidance. Feeling detached, stuck and very lost, I was simply surviving and definitely not thriving!
That's when I made the decision to seek support from a life coach, and it completely changed my world! The process opened up a whole new way of thinking, helping me to gain clarity about my true self, what lights me up and the importance of setting boundaries to maintain my inner peace and happiness.
I truly believe in the power of coaching and I am inspired to use my coaching skills and life experience to guide and support others.
I feel most happy when I'm connecting with people, talking about the real life things, the (sometimes) scary, uncomfortable things, going deep, delving inwards, and unpicking our complexities.
My passion is to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, achieve the desired changes you seek, and empower you to move forward in your life. I believe that we all have a light within us, and with the right support we're all able to find solutions to any challenges we face to live a happy, fulfilled life.
If this speaks to you, I'd love to set up a discovery call as an opportunity for you to let me know what you'd like to work on, and to see if I'm the right person to help you.

A note from Cleo
Don't sleepwalk through life. Your life is always speaking to you. The whispers, the nudges, the pit in your stomach. They matter. Scroll down to read one of my all-time favourite quotes that says it better than I ever could.
Your life is always speaking to you in whispers, guiding you to your next right step. And in many situations, the whisper is also the first warning. It's a quiet nudge from deep within saying, Hmmm, something feels off. A small voice that tells you, this is no longer your place of belonging. It's the pit in your stomach, or the pause before you speak. It's the shiver, the goosebumps that raise the hairs on the back of your neck. Whatever form the whisper takes, it's not a coincidence. Your life is trying to tell you something. Heeding these signs can open the doors to your personal evolution, pushing you toward your life's purpose. Ignoring them or sleepwalking through your life, is an invitation to chaos.

How I've helped.
In the words of the people I've worked with.
A truly transformative experience
"Working with Cleo has been a truly transformative experience for me. When I started, I struggled a lot with confidence in my communication. I would second-guess myself, overthink every message, and often hold back instead of expressing what I really wanted to say. Through Cleo’s coaching, that’s slowly started to change. She has this incredible way of helping you understand not just what you’re saying, but how and why you’re saying it. I’ve become much more aware of my communication patterns, my triggers, and the small habits that were holding me back. What I appreciate most is how safe and supportive the space feels. There’s no judgment, just honest reflection and thoughtful guidance. It’s helped me become more mindful, more intentional, and more confident in how I show up, both personally and professionally. I’m still on the journey, but I can already see a huge shift in how I think, communicate, and carry myself. I’m really grateful for Cleo’s support through this."

I’m so happy with the results.
"Cleo is helping me massively improve my wellbeing, mindset and productivity, not just in terms of work-life balance but also in recognising the areas I need to work on and holding myself accountable. She’s incredibly supportive and always suggests practical techniques that I can easily implement in my day to day life. I absolutely love her energy and every session leaves me feeling positive, motivated and committed to taking action! I can definitely see the progress since I first started working with her and I’m so happy with the results and how everything keeps improving!"
Almudena Garcia
Fun and collaborative.
"Cleo is very approachable and sets up a great environment for working through problems in a fun, collaborative manner. I'm new to coaching but I'm getting a lot out of our sessions despite being inexperienced, which I think is attributable to the high quality of Cleo's coaching. I am genuinely excited to come to coaching, even though I find it a bit daunting, and am surprised about how powerful a tool it seems to be for addressing long-running issues that I've been stuck on."

Understanding my worth.
"Cleo is a fantastic coach. She has given me the space and tools to work on issues around confidence and imposter syndrome. Before I was being passive and taking the back seat, but now my confidence has increased, I'm understanding my worth and ultimately enjoying my role more."

Safe, supportive and insightful.
"I have valued our coaching sessions so much and they couldn't have come at a better time for me. They have been a huge support at times where I've been highly stressed, anxious and quite lost. The most impactful thing has been all the tools Cleo has brought into our sessions."
