Suzanne Barbour

Life Coach & Menopause Mentor

“With a wealth of experience helping others through challenging situations, as well as the experience of my own battle with cancer and menopause, I was inspired to open my coaching business for clients needing tailored, practical advice and strategies to help them move forward.

I realised there was a huge access problem for people with life changing illnesses or injuries to support them with the practical and emotional challenges of treatment, recovery and beyond.

Despite my own skills, nothing could prepare me for my own cancer diagnosis.
As I was going through my treatment there was also the double whammy of dealing with my divorce.
It took every ounce of my strength to get through it and the total rollercoaster of emotions thrown at me every minute of every day.

My physical treatment only lasted 6 weeks, but my recovery is still ongoing and has provided me with incredible insight and experience which, combined with my training and coaching skills is a very powerful combination when coaching others going through the turbulent rollercoaster of treatment and recovery.”

Suzanne demonstrates that a life changing illness or injury is not the end of your happiness and you can move on to even better things. She will share the tools to take control of the emotional rollercoaster and to help redesign your life just the way you want it. She wants to encourage you to ask for help, and teach you the skills and confidence to get from where you are to where you want to be.
