About me
Hi,
I’m Paula. Firstly, I just want to say thanks for checking out my profile!
Secondly, I know that if you are here, reading this, it means that something is not quite right in your life now. It could be your career, health, work-life balance, relationships or something else. You’re probably feeling a bit disconnected, unsettled, lost and have probably gotten to the point where you’re looking at your life and asking yourself ‘Is this it?’.
I got to that point a few years ago. I’d studied, worked hard, had a great job (which I hated), a boyfriend for almost 6 years – basically a picture perfect life. But I wasn’t happy, it always felt that there was something missing. It was a challenging time of reflection after which I ended up parting ways with the job and the relationship. But then, I felt even worse! I realised that I had been defining myself by what I did and who I was with! Then, single and jobless – I felt like I didn’t know or trust myself anymore.
I had been reading, studying and training as a coach since the age of 14- I was always drawn to this work but never really applied it to myself. So I began to coach myself, to really figure out what I was about and what I cared about, I had to get clear on exactly what I wanted and create a plan to make it happen. And, I never looked back (well maybe the odd glance!).
I used the last of my redundancy money and invested in my own personal development- which was one of the best decisions I had made in years! When I qualified as a coach, I decided that I wanted to work with others who also had gotten to that point in their twenties and thirties where they looked around and said ‘Crap, is this it?’
Since 2010, I have studied and worked with the best coaches in Ireland, the UK and the States learning the most up-to-date and cutting edge coaching tools in order to ensure that I can offer my clients an amazing service that gets results. That’s what coaching is, it’s making things happen, creating that change you want and getting the results you deserve. (and helping you see that you do actually deserve it!)
Also, I always work with a coach myself- sometimes two! One for business coaching and the other for personal goals! Why? Because I’m just like you– I can get stuck in my own head sometimes and I need a kick in the ass and some perspective to get back on the right track for me!
I’ve been running my own business full-time for the past 4 years, I’ve bought a house, got married to the sweet and sexy Colm and I had a gorgeous baby girl Sarah in August 2015! I’ve turned my life around completely from doing what I thought I ‘should’ be doing to creating a life that is based on who I am, what I want and what is important to me!
I have coached hundreds of individuals in Ireland, the UK, Europe and all around the world to do the same! I learn so much from each client and I’m constantly evolving and updating my own knowledge and expertise.
I have headed up the Career Clinic at the Jobs Expo in Croke Park and The Mansion House for the past 3 years, spoken regularly at GradIreland events in the RDS and been featured as an expert guest speaker on The Quarter Life Crisis in numerous radio interviews.
I have also been interviewed by and written for TheDailyWorth, Stellar Magazine, The Washington Post, TheJournal, YouBeauty, The Irish Independent, The Herald and Image Magazine.
I love what I do and if I won the Euromillions, I’d still show up for our session because this is my passion! Basically, I’m the GoTo girl if you’re struggling in your twenties or thirties!
I look forward to getting you ‘unstuck’!
Love and Respect,
Paula

HOW I LIKE TO COACH
I like to work with clients who are ready to make a change in their lives. It's fine if you're unsure as to what you want or if you're feeling a bit nervous- that's normal! The most important thing is that you are willing and open to try new things!
My style is encouraging, direct and relaxed. I take my lead from you.
So tell me, is this what you want?
To gain clarity about who you are at the core of your being and how to take
action towards owning your own life.
To spend your personal resources of time, money, energy and love on the
things in your life that you actually care about.
To realise your potential and strengths in pursuit of meaningful work.
To have a clear life vision and focus so that you finally feel like you’re self-
directing your own life.
To learn how to say no without feeling guilty and be able to deal with negative
emotions.
To overcome that feeling of ‘not good enough’.
Ultimately, to reclaim your strength and personal power!
Great! Because that’s what I’m here for!

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT TAKEN
PROFESSIONAL AND LIFE EXPERIENCE
I totally get it! Life can be messy and overwhelming! It is so tough and frustrating when you feel like you’re a million miles away from where you thought you would be.
You know you need to make a change, make some new decisions, take some new actions…….. But change can be a real pain in the ass (and scary!) – I mean, how do you know if you’re making the right decision? There are so many choices, you feel overwhelmed and you’re terrified of making the wrong decision (again)!
You don’t really trust yourself, you’re always second guessing yourself and taking one step forwards, two steps back. How can you know what’s the right thing to do?
It doesn’t help that the voice in your head is also telling you that you’re not good enough, not smart enough or not brave enough to make it happen.
But you know what?
It really is a load of crap! You and I both know, with our whole hearts, that the only thing that is really preventing you from getting what you want, doing what you want and being what you want, is YOU. I’m certain that you already know that you are capable of so much more! That you are more than capable of being happy and living your dream. That’s why you’re here reading this now, you’re searching for an answer that will help you move away from that anxious feeling in your heart and towards a life experience that really expresses who you are.
Yep, I said it! You are your own worst enemy, worst critic and you are your own biggest obstacle. It’s not your circumstances, it’s your ability to manage yourself, manage your relationships and manage your world! You knew this once but you’ve forgotten it along the way. Now is the time to take it back!
The great thing is though, that you can turn it all around. You can get on your own side, you can become your number 1 cheerleader, you can get clear on what you want to do, be and have in all areas of your life, you can know that you deserve it and you can make it happen.
I believe it with all my heart because I’ve experienced it personally and I have seen it through my work with hundreds of private clients. And through coaching, I get the chance to help you discover this powerful and confident version of yourself that is just wanting to be let out to play!
