Emotions Coaching

A calm space to finally make sense of what you're feeling

People often arrive here carrying grief, anxiety, guilt, fear, or something harder to name. Sometimes it's feeling emotionally flat, disconnected, or overwhelmed. Often, beneath all of it, there's a hope for something else: “I just want to feel better/normal/ok again." Or “I just want these feelings to go away.”

This is a confidential, supportive space to begin to understand all you're feeling and how to move through life with more clarity and understanding.

What People Often Arrive With

Putting everyone else's feelings first and losing track of your own

Holding emotions in all day, then crying in the car or the shower.

Avoiding certain feelings because they feel like too much

Feeling emotionally flooded without knowing how to stop it

Struggling to set emotional boundaries without feeling guilty

Wanting to understand what you’re feeling and why you’re feeling it

"Emotions coaching isn't about fixing, suppressing, or performing resilience. It's about learning how to be with your emotions so they stop feeling overwhelming, embarrassing, or out of control."

Claire Fitzsimmons

How We Work Together

Slow down and arrive

1

We begin by slowing things down. There's space to arrive exactly as you are, without needing to explain, justify or make sense of everything straight away.


Name what's there

2

We listen closely to what you're actually feeling — grief, anxiety, anger, fear, guilt, or something harder to name — without rushing to manage or tidy it up. Being heard properly is often what starts to bring things into focus.


Find clearer language

3

When emotions are named more precisely, they tend to feel less overwhelming. What once felt like a flood often becomes something you can stand alongside and understand.


Build self-trust

4

From there, it becomes easier to respond with care, setting boundaries, asking for support, making choices that feel more aligned rather than reacting out of habit or self-criticism.

ICF Associate Certified Coach · Emotions Coaching Practitioner

Hi, I’m Claire

I'm an emotions coach and writer, and my work is grounded in listening closely to how people actually experience their emotional lives. I work with people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or at a crossroads, helping them understand what they're feeling and why, and learn how to work with their emotions rather than push them aside.


My approach is calm, compassionate and practical. Clients often describe our work as grounding and clarifying, a space to slow down, make sense of what's happening beneath the surface, and leave with a greater sense of steadiness and direction.

  • “The Emotions coaching with Claire is first-rate. Claire combined a mix of high support with the right level of challenge which made each session insightful and revealing for me. I finished the sessions with greater clarity, calm and optimism than I've had in a long while. I also have a plan! Don't just take my word for it. Try it.”

    Fiona

  • “I absolutely adored working with Claire. As someone who’s done so much work on herself, I’m not new to coaching, but Emotion Coaching was new to me. I had some niggles around where I was in life and where I wanted to be. I felt a lot of uncertainty. Through her gorgeous warm and caring approach, Claire led me on a journey to better understand the emotions I had at play, and more importantly those that I wanted to feel! It was a wonderful experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Claire and her Emotions Coaching!”

    Hayley

  • "I wasn't sure what to expect from emotion coaching, but I found the experience incredibly powerful. I found that Claire's way of gently questioning and challenging and her ability to reflect back with such precision really enabled me to move forward toward my goal.”
