Helen Bennett - The Transition Coach

Something has shifted and you’re ready to make a change.

Whether you’re navigating a career transition, adjusting to a new chapter, or finding your footing after a major life event, coaching can help you move from uncertainty to clarity.

I’m Helen Bennett, a therapy-informed coach for women who are ready to make positive changes in their lives.

Who I work with

I work with professional women who are at a crossroads. My clients are often capable high-achievers who are outwardly successful but may be wondering quietly, "What now?", "What is next?" or, "Is this it?"

You might be navigating a career or life change, returning to work after time away, making sense of a late diagnosis of neurodivergence, or moving through menopause with the shifts in perspective that may happen at this time. Whatever the transition, you don't have to figure it out alone.

Relational coaching

I work relationally, which means I believe our strong, collaborative coaching relationship is where the magic happens for my clients. I believe everyone has the potential to change, and I create a supportive, non-judgemental environment for you to explore your coaching goals, gain self-awareness and work with me on what needs to happen. I’m not about ego and bluster, I bring my genuine (occasionally sweary!), warm self to our sessions. Our best work together will be when you feel able to bring your genuine self too.

Who you'll work with

I have been supporting people to make positive transitions in their lives for years. I get it - change can be a destabilising mixture of daunting, exciting, tough, invigorating, frustrating, confronting, necessary and more. I have lived experience of navigating impactful changes in my career and personal life which has helped me develop my relational and supportive coaching approach. I have a growth mindset and I encourage experimentation, with an appreciation of where more gentle support and encouragement is needed.

I’m also a qualified counsellor and clinical supervisor, with a background in People/HR in high-growth start-ups and professional services. I combine a therapy-informed coaching approach, business understanding and a good dose of practical thinking, encouragement, empathy and accountability to all areas of my work.

Testimonials

“ Expertise, professionalism, empathy, warmth & humanness, guidance and priceless support - that’s what I think of when I think of Helen. She has guided me through my struggles of balancing my role as a full-time mindful mom and entrepreneur. Following maternity leave I’ve also made the decision to launch a new project and Helen has supported me beautifully in clarifying what my values are, what I’d like to bring to the world, and how I’d like to live my life. Whilst I didn’t know from the beginning what all questions I’d like answering working with Helen, I believe she’s come in my life at the PERFECT time ♥️ Thank you Helen, for every single call, for the flexibility and for helping me live a more fulfilled, clear and joyful life.”
