Hi, I'm Suzannah
A Different Approach to Life Coaching
Drawing on two decades of teaching philosophy, religion and ethics, and with formal coaching qualifications, I offer something different to conventional life coaching. My approach looks to the 'original life coaches' - the wisdom traditions like Stoicism and Buddhism - for insights into life's deeper questions.
Philosophy Meets Practice
I share with my clients a profound curiosity and maintain an open perspective around ideas of connection to a 'higher power' or sense of purpose. This creates a unique coaching experience that is both spiritually rooted and practically beneficial.
​
​Personal Journey
My path to Over the Stile has been shaped by personal experience with bereavement. This journey, combined with an enriching career in education, has deepened my commitment to helping others make the most of their "wild and precious life", as poet Mary Oliver so beautifully expressed it. This led me to create Life Beading, an innovative tool for capturing and anchoring insights alongside great conversation.
​
Shropshire's beautiful landscapes serve as both my home and inspiration. You might spot me in my quirky Citroen 2CV, always on the lookout for those countryside stiles that inspired my business name.
​
Take the First Step
Whether you're facing a life transition, questioning your current path, or simply seeking to enrich your daily experience, my approach combines thoughtful introspection with practical, actionable steps.​
​
As Lao Tse wisely noted, 'A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.'

“Suzannah's focused questioning and ability to set goals for me was invaluable and insightful. She has a natural ability to break down what might be an overwhelming situation to a place where you can see clearly again."

"Suzannah has given me a much better understanding of how my deep rooted values trigger my responses and behaviours in my day to day life. She has created a very simple visualisation that I am able to call on when the safety of my comfort zone is challenged (regularly!). I now feel much better equipped to lead a calmer, more confident and motivated life. Thank you, Suzannah!."
Amanda B
"My sessions with Suzannah have been invaluable. Suzannah has heard and guided me. This enabled me to move forward and make the changes that on my own I was struggling with. thank you so much for your help and support. I'm feeling so much more positive now."

If I could give Suzannah 6 stars I would! Suzannah is an excellent coach who is highly skilled at helping you navigate whatever obstacles are standing in your way, even when you didn’t know you had any! She is an amazing listener with an uncanny way of getting to the root of any issue! I can wholeheartedly recommend Suzannah as she has been instrumental in giving me clarity to make some of the most important decisions in my life.
