Watch Sue describe how she came to start Pause…

For over 30 years I have been working as an executive leadership coach, career coach and thinking partner/confidant, holding presence for hundreds of leaders who were ready to do what it took to profoundly change, personally and professionally – just like I did.

In 1990, having been bullied and heading dangerously close to burnout, I left the world of banking to give myself time to assess, realign my life, re-establish what I stood for, travel and unravel what was really important to me.

This was a pivotal and transformational time, questioning who I was and identifying who I chose to become. The first step on a long journey of inquiry, self-healing, releasing the many layers of conditioning, doubts and fears, secret inner dialogues. This allowed me to feel, accept, forgive and integrate the many pains and traumas I had embodied. Now living on purpose as a life coach, a high level intuitive, I am often viewed as a transformational, unconventional, trusted and innovative seer who gets profound results.


Clients
Clients are from all walks of life, culture and background. A sprinkling of famous musicians, Hollywood actors, senior royals, international lawyers, mid and senior leaders in financial services, as well as the CEOs and senior leaders of major media organizations, household name-brands and well-known NGOs and charities. The common denominator being they want to find inner-peace, be asked and supported to deal with the deep questions, in a confidential space where they feel safe to reflect and share.

Qualifications
I am trained in multiple coaching, presencing and awareness disciplines, including being a:

- Newfield-trained Ontological Coach
- Strozzi-trained Somatic Coach
-
Person-centered counsellor and psychotherapist.

I also lead mindful retreats, channel bespoke guided visualisations and offer a range of emotional release processes.

Experience
A continual learner, I consider myself very blessed to have been taught energy and connection by Native American Seneca, Māori, and Hopi wisdom keepers, as well as Kabbalist, Buddhist and Osho leaders.

I have studied several emotional release techniques, undertaken learning with Gabor Mate and Peter Levine, completed several programs with Coaches Rising, including the Power of Embodied Transformation, Becoming a Transformative Presence, and the Science of Neurobiology and Change.

I deeply appreciate these experiences and teachers, whose energy medicine helped me find my inner voice when it felt lost, confidence to release my imposter self, and who deepened my understanding and appreciation of presence and connection.
