I am a Professional Career and Personal Life Coach based in Galway, Ireland. I studied Psychology and Sociology as part of my honours Bachelor of Arts degree from University College Cork. My final specialisation was Sociology and English. I have a Post-Graduate Diploma in Communications and Media from St. Patrick’s University, Maynooth, Ireland.
I worked in the corporate world for 25 years across various industries; Media, Telecommunications, Publishing, Sales and IT. I found my forte to be in client management roles, which I really enjoyed. But during a career break, I felt a strong urge to break from the corporate world and do something new. I was eager to have a more fulfilling role, where I could help people on a more direct basis and make a difference in their lives. My career break gave me fresh perspective, renewed energy and the courage to embark on a new career. I made the decision to leave my corporate job and decided to train as a Professional Coach. I am a Certified Professional Coach, having completed International Coaching Federation (ICF) accredited training with Aspire Coach Training in Ireland.

Fiona, Cork
Fiona has supported me throughout and helped me gain clarity and motivated me to keep moving forward. Her warm and vibrant personality shines through on our 1:1 sessions, making me feel comfortable and able to open up and share my experiences in a safe space. She has helped me see things and develop my self-awareness leading to positive changes in my every day. Would recommend Fiona as a coach.
Fiona has been a fantastic coach to me during my journey.
Michele, Dublin
During a challenging period at work, her practical tools and strategies brought immediate and lasting benefits. I became calmer and more focused, and I still use these tools daily. Fiona's open and personable style made our sessions both enjoyable and highly effective. I highly recommend her coaching services.
Fiona's coaching in business strategy, time, and stress management has been transformative for me.
My marriage had broken down. I was feeling isolated and unsure how to start my life again. In the coaching sessions, we worked on things that were holding me back, such as lack of confidence, self-esteem, lack of trust and how to create a positive mindset. I felt very muddled in my thinking when I first started my coaching with Fiona, but she helped me to get clarity, made me realise what was important to me and over time, I started feeling much more positive about myself. I even started trying out new activities and hobbies to meet new people. I was emerging as a more self-assured, confident person which really surprised me. Three months later, I feel so different and am optimistic about my future. Thank you so much, Fiona, your support has been invaluable”.
I found Fiona’s life coaching so beneficial when I was at a crossroads in my life.
Claire, UK
I went to Fiona for coaching when I had to make a difficult career decision. I was putting off making a final decision, which was making it even more stressful. Her coaching really helped me to understand what was important to me and what I needed to change. Fiona challenged me with powerful questions and held me accountable to actions I outlined. She made me realise my strengths and what I have already achieved to date. With her support, I now am feeling more confident, have a plan in place and know what I need to do to progress my career further.

Paul, Limerick
I love my work as a coach, which is incredibly rewarding in a way I have never felt before. It has helped me to realise my dream of helping individuals to maximise their potential, achieve their goals and change their lives for the better.
It is so rewarding to see the changes in my coaching clients, from the start of our coaching journey to the end of that journey. The change in the individual and their life is transformative. Coaching helps individuals to make positive changes in their lives for long-term gain, and to ultimately live the life they want to live.
