Suzanne Allen

As well as an ICF accredited coach, I’m a highly experienced HR professional having worked in a range of HR and Talent roles in large global corporates. Coaching others to unlock their potential and understand who they are and what they really want has been core to these roles and has always been my passion.

I understand the context, complexities (and politics) of the corporate world and bring a unique blend of HR expertise to my coaching by understanding HR policy and it’s application, personal development practices, recruitment (I can therefore support with CV / interview work) and building confidence. I’m experienced supporting individuals with career transitions, preparing for/returning from parental leave or redundancy, addressing mindset barriers, returning to work and flexible working.

My coaching style is relaxed, empathetic and non-judgemental…always. I place well-being at the core of sessions and adopt a person led approach whilst gently challenging you towards a practical way forward. Clients describe my coaching style as natural, gently challenging but able to help you to find solutions you may not otherwise have found on your own.
