What is Resilience Coaching?
RESILIENCE COACHING is a refreshing alternative to therapy and delivers fast, dynamic and lasting results. I use a unique blend of Energy Leadership™ Coaching, NLP and Integrative Counselling to help you identify and transform the inner energetic blocks (negative thoughts, limiting beliefs and unhelpful emotions) that are holding you back, keeping you stuck and limiting your capacity to THRIVE.
I teach essential communication and life skills, authentic relating techniques, coping strategies and mindset and empowerment tools that significantly reduce levels of stress, depression and anxiety and increase levels of joy, confidence and self-esteem.
I work exclusively online so I can work with you wherever you are in the world.
I can help with:
Stress and anxiety
Low self-esteem and lack of confidence
Relationship and family issues
Overthinking and catastrophising
Depression
Anger and trust issues
Bullying and cyberbullying
Saying "No" and boundary setting
Identity and Body Image
Gender and cultural issues
Life transitions, e.g. moving house, moving schools, leaving home, starting work
Parental separation and divorce
...and more!
*Please note, coaching is NOT a good fit for bereavement, trauma, eating disorders, self-harm, suicide ideation or abuse.
About me
I first began working with teenagers after moving to Victoria, British Columbia in 2011, where I worked for three years as a Residence Supervisor at a private boarding school for girls aged 11 to 19. It was there that I developed the knowledge, skillset and passion for helping young people overcome the various mental, emotional, social, cultural, relational and educational pressures and challenges facing them at this age, in addition to helping them cope with the stresses of living away from home for the first time.
Upon returning to the UK in 2014 and building upon that experience, I achieved a Level 7 Post Qualifying Diploma in Counselling Children and Young People to add to my existing counselling qualifications. During my training, I worked at Hanham Woods Academy in Bristol as a school counsellor supporting boys and girls between the ages of 11 and 16. Alongside this, I also ran a private face-to-face counselling practice near Bristol University which meant it inevitably attracted students, many of whom were struggling with issues similar to those that I’d encountered in Canada.
By 2015, I was naturally taking a more solution-focussed approach in my work with clients upon realising that they achieved quicker and more lasting results when focus was placed more on the present and future than on the past. So in 2016, I undertook iPEC's esteemed Energy Leadership™ Coaching training in order to gain the additional professional skills, credibility and 'permission slip' to work in a more dynamic and goal-oriented way.
I pride myself on my ability to create safe and non-judgemental spaces for young people to open up and express their thoughts, feelings and experiences. My clients often describe me as warm, authentic and fun!

The Energy Leadership Index assessment
Coaching packages typically start with an Energy Leadership™ Index assessment, iPEC's proprietary, research-backed assessment tool which captures something abstract, such as how you currently view the world, and turns it into something tangible—a metric that you can see, feel and even re-evaluate in the future. It's different from other personality tests like Myers Briggs, DiSC and Enneagram, etc., because it measures your attitude and perception by comparing how you respond in normal situations with how you react under stress. It helps you to understand why you are the way you are and reveals the inner blocks that are holding you back, keeping you feeling stuck and sabotaging your success.

TESTIMONIALS
Victoria from London
My sessions with Susy truly changed my life. Before we met, I felt lost, stuck, and my confidence was at an all time low. After 10 sessions together I've noticed a huge change in myself - I am happy, empowered and more confident than ever. Others are commenting on the change too! Susy is warm, compassionate and our sessions were filled with fun and laughter.
The work we did has allowed me to take control of my mind and discover my true potential. I particularly liked setting weekly goals and checking in with Susy, as this held me accountable. I now have an arsenal of skills and techniques to enable me to lead a fulfilling and authentic life. I can't recommend Susy enough, doing this work with her is one of the best decisions I've ever made!
Emma, from Bristol
"I could not recommend working with Susy enough! She really carries that sunshine energy and has a huge amount of knowledge to share with you. My goal was to nurture a kinder relationship with myself, overcoming critical thinking/overthinking and increasing self-confidence. I can honestly say that I have made huge progress in a very short space of time and have all the tools I need now to be a master of my own self. Susy holds you accountable, she sets you goals and 'homework', which is all delivered in a very safe, caring space. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this transformative process to anyone."
Tom, from Norwich
"I undertook an empowerment coaching program with Susy and it was an amazing experience! I now understand how to make inspired choices rather than fear based decisions. She really allowed me to wake up and become aware of the awareness! Now when I face struggles in my life, they can be tackled from a perspective of opportunity and growth rather than distraction and fear. I really have come so far since the sessions started and for me this will continue, it’s not a flash in the pan kind of experience - it really can be life enhancing. Whenever I had a session with Susy I felt a huge amount of warmth and positivity which continued long after each session. I highly recommend!"
Sally, from Bristol
"I was in a bit of a fog before I started coaching with Susy, but with her warm and focussed approach, she helped me see not only the obstacles that I'd created for myself, but also how to clear them. This was actually a return to my creative passion and how to value myself more. Energy Leadership Coaching has had a profoundly positive effect on all aspects of my life. It's like a mental toolkit that I now hold and I feel stronger more connected to myself than ever before. I would absolutely recommend this amazing and transformative process to anyone who is feeling a bit lost."
Austin, from Yorkshire
"Susy is an awesome coach! I was coached by Susy for 12 sessions and from those sessions I got to know myself better, clarified my confusion and got motivated to challenge myself to achieve what I thought might be a bit difficult to reach. Thanks to Susy for her intuitive, deep coaching, which made me feel supported and not-judged. Susy is fun, honest and compassionate. I would highly recommend Susy to anyone who is looking for more in their life! "
Rachel, from London
"Susy is a great coach! She uses core energy coaching process to find the 'true you'. She is a wise, inspiring coach with the life experience, compassion, and emotional intelligence to guide you through virtually anything. Our coaching sessions together were my ‘hour of power’. I have removed ‘I have to’ and ‘I can’t’ from my vocabulary, so I am no longer a people pleaser. Susy has a wonderful sense of humour."
Emma from London
I had the pleasure of working with Susy on energy leadership coaching and I can honestly say it has been a life-changing experience. Susy was able to teach me skills and help me to view situations in a new positive light, which in turn has drastically improved my life. Through Susy's guidence, we worked together and achieved all of my goals which previously I thought would have taken me years to achieve. Susy's great sense of humour and judgement-free attitude made me feel comfortable and safe. The program is well priced and I can honestly say that she has improved my life. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to invest in their future.
Jas from Bristol
I am so grateful to have found Susy when I did. Working with her was nothing short of life changing for me. She helped me to better understand myself and then helped me to focus on what was important in order to feel happier and more fulfilled. If you’re thinking of working with Susy, do it! It will be the best decision you make.
Emily from Leeds
When I started working with Susy I was feeling really stuck. After years of therapy I was struggling to plan for the future & set positive goals. Susy's energy leadership coaching helped me to validate my feelings, reframe tough memories & feel empowered to make positive changes. Susy is kind, funny and knowledgeable. I'm so glad I completed the 10 week programme, I feel like a new person.
