Something changes, and suddenly you don't quite recognise yourself.
​
Maybe you've stepped back into work after having children. Maybe you've been made redundant. Maybe you're being asked to lead for the first time, or you've walked away from a career that looked great on paper and felt completely hollow.
​
The circumstances are different, but the feeling underneath is the same.
​
You know you're capable of more, but you just can't seem to close the gap between where you are and where you want to be. The confidence isn't there yet. The sense of who you actually are, and who you're becoming, is still catching up.
​
That's where I come in.
​
I'm Sophie Shedden, certified coach, DISC practitioner, and former HR professional with over a decade spent watching talented women get smaller during the moments that should have made them bigger. I've been through it myself. And I've built my coaching practice around the specific, difficult, often invisible work of finding your footing again.
​
WHAT COACHING WITH ME LOOKS LIKE​
​
We don't paper over the cracks. We figure out what's actually going on, the self-doubt, the identity questions, the gap between who you were and who you're trying to become, and we build something that holds.
​
Coaching with me is grounded and practical. I draw on DISC profiling to help you understand how you're wired, HR-informed insight into how workplaces actually work, and a coaching approach that asks real questions and doesn't let you off the hook with the easy answers.
​
You'll leave sessions clearer. More settled in yourself. With a direction that actually feels like yours.

​​​WHO I WORK WITH
​
I work with women who are in the middle of something. Whether that's a return to work, a step up into leadership, a redundancy they didn't see coming, or one they did and still don't know what to do with. A career change they've been questioning for years. The moment when the life they built doesn't quite fit anymore.

​I'm based in southern Spain and work remotely with clients worldwide. For local businesses in Gibraltar and southern Spain, I also offer in-person workshops and coaching programmes.

Working with Sophie was an empowering experience. She has such a magnetic, warm energy that instantly put me at ease. Through our work together, she helped me clarify my strengths and values in a way that gave me real confidence and direction. I left each session feeling lighter, more focused, and more in tune with what truly matters to me.

Working with Sophie during the program was an incredibly valuable experience. As a working parent looking to better balance parenthood while staying focused and fulfilled at work, this coaching journey provided the clarity, confidence, and practical tools I truly needed.
I would highly recommend this coaching program to any parent seeking greater alignment between career and parenthood.

If you're on the fence about whether to do coching, just do it, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain! The empowerment I now feel over things I really didn't before has been life changing. In just 6 weeks I was amazed at how much my attitude shifted and she's given me the tools to keep reflecting.
