Growing up in Amsterdam with Irish and English parents, and working for and with global non-profit organizations, Claire Buswell is shaped by her international experiences and relationships. She meets everyone with an open heart and brilliant instincts, and her coaching is characterized by empathy and expertise.
Claire creates space for the whole person, inviting clients to pause, become deeply aware of who they are, and clarify where they want to go. Then she equips them with the vision, mindset, and tools to move forward toward significant goals that both energize them and bring them joy.

She intentionally tailors each coaching engagement to fit the client based on their goals and learning style. She highly values trust and works to be in tune with her clients. She is known as a coach who consistently brings encouraging-yet-stretching strategic energy that helps clients see transformative change!
