“Life transitions are hard – there are no two ways about it. Even though you will experience many transitions throughout your lifetime, you may not always feel like putting out the welcome sign. That’s possibly because life transitions mean change and leaving behind what you know and what is familiar. ”
— Stephanie Gutzmer, AuD, E-RYT
I’m a life transition coach and my practice specialises in helping people navigate pivotal changes such as career shifts, separation, divorce, and retirement. These aren’t just areas I coach in—they’re experiences I’ve lived. I’ve faced redundancy, the loss of loved ones, two difficult divorces, and retirement after a successful career. Each transition brought its own challenges, but I came through them with resilience—and ultimately, with happiness and purpose
Having trained in Transformational Coaching, I combine professional coaching techniques with deep personal understanding to guide my clients through their own transitions. My approach is supportive, practical, and empowering—helping people move forward with clarity, rediscover their purpose, and create fulfilling, meaningful lives.
If you’re navigating change and want support from someone who’s been there and truly understands, I’m here to help you move forward with confidence.
Please get in touch for a free introductory session where we can discuss your needs and goals and I can explain further how we can work together.
What is Transitional Coaching?
Transitional life coaching empowers clients during significant life changes by guiding them through uncertainty, building emotional resilience, and redefining identity and purpose.
It helps clients gain clarity, make confident decisions, and implement practical actions to create meaningful, lasting transformations, turning challenging transitions into powerful opportunities for personal growth and fulfilment.
