You survived cancer. But now you’re wondering,

“Who am I now?”

Hi, I’m Clare, a therapeutic coach, breast cancer survivor, and trusted guide for those navigating the complicated aftermath of cancer.

If you’re here, it’s probably because life seems back to normal, but inside, you know it’s not.

You’re grateful to be here. And yet, you're grieving too.
Grieving the body you had. The energy. The clarity. Grieving the version of life you thought you’d return to. You don’t recognise yourself anymore and are tired of pretending you’re okay when you’re not.

You want support from someone who gets it. Not the medical side. Not the practical stuff, but the invisible emotional toll. The identity shifts. The fear. The fog. The guilt of wanting more when you’re supposed to be glad you survived. The guilt for not wanting the same things as you used to.

I see you. And you don’t have to walk this part alone.

I’ve been where you are.

After ten months of gruelling treatment, I emerged changed. Yes, the cancer was gone, but so was the person I used to be.

I looked “well” to the outside world, but inside, I felt broken, exhausted, and utterly lost. Everyone was delighted I’d finally rung the end-of-treatment bell, but I couldn’t believe how disconnected I felt from my body, my work, and the people I loved.

I was exhausted all the time.
My brain didn’t work like it used to.
My body didn’t feel like mine.
My confidence was in pieces, and I hated admitting it.

I looked like I was coping, but I wasn’t.
I was sad, ashamed, grieving the life I thought I’d get back.
And I couldn’t find anyone talking about this part, the emotional reckoning that hits when treatment ends.

It was like I’d been stripped of something I couldn’t name.

I kept thinking, surely this isn’t it. Surely there’s more to life than just getting through the day? Than just surviving?

I knew I had to find a way to feel whole again, but I also knew I couldn’t return. The first few months I spent trying to get back to who I was before cancer were utterly exhausting.

Eventually, I realised this wasn’t something I could “power through.”

I didn’t need another motivational quote or to be reminded how lucky I was. I needed space, support, and someone to help me make sense of it all.

I needed to feel heard without being told to be positive.

I needed to feel safe enough to fall apart a little, so I could begin putting myself back together again on my terms.

Then a very wise woman said to me, “You’re not the same, and never will be again, and that’s okay.”

It was like being given a massive permission slip to stop trying to break through a shut, locked door to the past version of me and instead turn around and see the many open doors available. 

It’s not about going back;, it’s about moving forward differently, making new choices and decisions with the full knowledge that you can make new choices and re-decide at any point you wish.

That journey of reclaiming myself, my strength, and my future led me to this work.

The people I work with are brilliant and capable, but quietly struggling.

You’ve achieved a lot in your life, but cancer cracked something open, and you can’t ignore what’s no longer working.

You may feel disconnected from your body, work, and relationships.
You’re tired of pretending. Tired of pushing.
Tired of measuring yourself against who you used to be.

You want honest, meaningful change.
You want your enthusiasm back. Your voice back. Your joy back. Your purpose is back.
You want to feel like yourself again, even if that “self” looks very different now.

That’s why I do the work I do now.

Because surviving is just the start.
Healing is something else entirely.

And the truth is, you don’t have to return to who you were. You get to become someone even more honest, more aligned, more you than ever before.

It could be that you are in the chaos of the immediate aftermath of active treatment ending, or it could be that a couple of years have passed and you’re still feeling lost. Wherever you are on your journey, I believe:

  • You deserve support that goes deeper than surface-level positivity.

  • You deserve to feel whole, even in a changed body.

  • You deserve joy, pleasure, peace and purpose now, not someday.

  • You deserve to take up space, speak your truth, and build a life that feels good again.

This work is my calling. It is my privilege.
And if you’re ready to start your next chapter, I’m here.

My approach is gentle, grounded, and radically supportive.

I bring together therapeutic depth, powerful coaching, and lived experience to help you to:

  • honour everything you’ve been through and everything you’re still carrying

  • untangle guilt, grief, fear, and self-doubt

  • reconnect with your body, your values, and your voice

  • rebuild confidence in how you show up in work, love, and life

  • create space for joy, pleasure, and you again

This work isn’t about pushing harder or putting on a brave face. It’s about reclaiming the life you want with honesty, self-compassion, and support.

I'm here if you’re ready to stop surviving and start living.

You're not too much or too little. You're whole and it's not too late.

This next chapter can be your most powerful, fulfilling and joyful yet.

It was an opportunity to explore myself, to see where I’ve come from and what I’ve achieved, but more importantly where I’m going and not to fear it. I’ve realised that nothing matters as long as I’m happy, healthy and my values are being met. It’s what is right for me, not what other people think that matters. My belief in myself and enthusiasm for life has been reignited.
