Sita P, Careers and Wellbeing Coaching client
“I first met Shanara when she delivered a series of insightful training session for a group of student advocates that I managed at The University of Law. She guided them through important themes like burnout, imposter syndrome, and having difficult conversations—topics that really resonated and stuck with them. Her ability to connect, empower, and create a safe space for honest reflection made a lasting impression.
So much so, that I seeked Shanara’s incredible support and guidance during one of the most challenging periods of my life. After facing redundancy, I was overwhelmed and uncertain about my next steps—but Shanara was a steady, encouraging presence who helped me navigate the transition with clarity and confidence.
Her empathy, insight, and guidance were exactly what I needed. Shanara not only helped me regain my sense of direction, but also empowered me to see opportunities where I once saw roadblocks. Thanks to her coaching, I successfully moved into new employment and feel more grounded and hopeful than I have in a long time.
If you are looking for a career coach who truly cares and has the tools to help you move forward, I wholeheartedly recommend Shanara. I am so, so, so grateful for everything she did for me."

"Shanara allowed me the space to think and to process my own ideas under her guidance. This gave me the self-assurance, clarity and perspective to better approach many different situations at work.
I found Shanara to be personable and always found conversation flowed easily which made the sessions enjoyable and as productive as possible.
I would recommend anyone seeking progression or greater confidence in their work life to invest in themselves and speak with Shanara soon!

“I was drawn to Shanara after hearing her talk on The Injured Athletes Podcast about her
personal experience of recovering from injury. Having suffered an injury myself and dealing with the unexpected impact it had on my mental health, I reached out to her as I felt she would truly be able to relate and wanted the support of someone to help me set a structured plan to feel better in myself.
I really loved my time with Shanara. She helped me to take a holistic approach to goal setting, not only when it came to dealing with recovery and getting back into fitness, but also with my career and personal life. One thing Shanara helped me to do that has had a truly lasting impact was to analyse the relationship I have with myself and more specifically the way I talk to myself compared to the
way I talk to and view others. I came away from my time with her with a much kinder,
supportive approach to self talk.
Shanara is a brilliant listener, I always felt like I could be very honest with her without fear of judgement, and she never pushed me to divulge information I didn’t readily want to share.
She is an astute observer and often picked up on the smallest thing and brought it to my
attention, helping me to uncover unhealthy patterns or the root causes of issues.
If someone was considering coaching with Shanara I would absolutely tell them to do it, I have recommended her to a number of my friends. If you feel like you need someone to help you structure your thoughts, set clear goals and reflect on where you are now versus where you want to be, she will without a doubt help you to get there. I left my sessions feeling
lighter, brighter and more in control of my life, she helped me immensely.”
