The Clear Path Coaching Programme‍ ‍

Coaching for healthcare professionals who want to take ownership of their work and life again

This programme is for you if...

...you’re a healthcare professional (doctors, nurses, dentists, midwives, physios - I see you!) who’s done everything right, but lately something feels ‘off’. 

Or

...you know you’re capable and you’ve got so much to give. But let’s face it, you’re knackered. Maybe you’ve burnt out before or watched it happen up close, and you know something needs to change.

Or

...you’re facing a big career decision, and the stakes feel high (like flipping terrifying!). What if I make the wrong move? Will people think I’ve wasted my training? What if I regret it? No wonder you want someone to tell you what to do!

The truth is, you don’t need permission or someone else’s map to show you the way. And you don’t need to burn all your bridges.

You’ve spent years following a prescribed path, protocols and training routes. But the next chapter of your life doesn’t come with instructions.

That’s where coaching helps. Together, we’ll create a thoughtful, grounded way for you to figure out what fits now.

Let’s find your clear path forward.

This experience is a 6-month process

Together, we’ll walk through my 4-step framework that takes you from spiralling to a confident clear path.

How it works

  • Character strengths survey - maximise what you’re great at

A 90-minute deep dive starting session

Where we will get you to...

The Clear Path Coaching Programme will get you to a place where you’re enjoying the journey, embracing the adventure and feeling like you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.

You know when you’re lost in the woods or even in a city you don’t know, and then you turn a corner and a familiar clearing opens up? That’s the feeling you’ll get throughout this coaching process. 

  • You’ll wake up energised and excited about the day ahead.

  • You’ll be making decisions with ease, whether it’s choosing your next training post, a new specialty or a completely different role. 

  • You’ll start speaking to yourself much more kindly. Like a loving parent or mentor would. And it’s SO motivating and inspiring.

  • You’ll start running (or however you like to feel healthy), taking a lunch break and staying home when you’re ill, because guilt won’t be running the show.

  • The pre-shift scaries will have disappeared, as you start looking forward to doing the work you love again.

  • Your spark comes back. That fizzy, bright part of you that you almost forgot was there. You start trusting yourself again to do new things and make brave choices.

  • You’ll become someone who curates your own map that you adore and that you know will get you to where you want to be. 


Let’s explore and create your adventure!

Hi, I’m Emily

I’m a life and career coach obsessed with helping doctors and other caring pros feel like they’re exactly where they’re meant to be.

I stopped being a doctor in 2009. I then spent far too long trying to “fix” what I believed had gone wrong. It took me 10 years, 3 countries, 2 kids and 1 husband later to realise nothing was broken. Life had been life-ing.

“So, what did you do when you left medicine?” I hear you ask!

I worked for Cancer Research UK, then as a teacher of English as a foreign language, and a medical writer. But I think my biggest lessons come from my life as a parent - and they keep on coming!

Today, as a coach, I help people find a sense of peace and ease in their own adventure much quicker than I did. 

I’ve worked with doctors, dentists, nurses and other healthcare professionals since 2020 and helped them make big career changes, return to their job after burnout and find a new way of managing work and life.

I love personal development and regularly take on new training opportunities, like stress-management, new coaching models, neuroscience and mindfulness.

I’m a huge advocate for doctors wellbeing. I’ve co-hosted a podcast called The Fully Well Doc Pod, where we held conversations with doctors and experts about how more doctors can be well. I am also an ambassador for Doctors in Distress, a charity that works to protect the mental health of healthcare professionals.

I’m here to help you figure out your next steps in your work and life.

Not by giving you the map, but by helping you create your very own one, that sees you creating your perfect path.

  • Emily has been a fantastic coach and facilitator of a great programme

    Dr H Feeny

  • I thought, 'I don't know who I am, I don't know what I want, I don't really know what my purpose is, what my goals are, who am I'. I felt very not in touch with my inner compass…but then...through the tools...I was growing this confidence in myself that I didn't anticipate. “

  • "I gained a clearer understanding of what a well-rounded life looks like for me, and how my career can intentionally support that rather than compete with it”
