About me
Hi, I’m Claire — a coach, a curious question-asker, and a firm believer that meaningful change doesn’t come from quick fixes, but from brave, thoughtful conversations (preferably over a good coffee).
After 15 years navigating the fast-paced world of property (and helping people thrive leading People & Culture functions), I’ve swapped floorplans for frameworks to help people build something even more important — their lives, careers, and sense of purpose. I work with professionals who find themselves in a bit of a career or life “renovation” — you’ve laid the foundation, but now you’re wondering what comes next, or how to level up without losing yourself in the process.
I’m a Member of the International Coaching Federation and I’m currently completing a Graduate Certificate in Applied Coaching (ICF Level 2 accredited), because I believe in bringing both heart and rigour to this work. Mastery is a process, not an outcome.
My style? Calm and considered. I’m not here to shout motivational quotes at you, lecture you or hand out one-size-fits-all solutions. My frameworks are research-backed but my approach is people-centred. I’m here to help you make sense of the noise, challenge the stories that hold you back, and gently help you pave your own path — stone by stone.
You’re in the driver’s seat. I’m here to hold the map, ask the right questions, and occasionally point out that you’ve been riding the brakes.
Curious about coaching with me? Let’s have a no-pressure chat to see if we’re a good fit. Bring your goals, your questions — and if you’re unsure where to start, don’t worry. That’s what I’m here for.

Book an appointment
First time? Welcome — lovely to have you here.
To make sure coaching is the right fit for you (and that I’m the right fit too), I offer a free chemistry/discovery session. It’s a no-pressure conversation where we get to explore what you’re looking for, how I work, and whether we’re a good match. If it doesn’t feel quite right or the timing’s off — no hard feelings, no obligation.
If you do decide to dive in, our initial coaching session gives us a bit of extra time to get clear on your goals, explore what’s brought you to coaching, and start mapping out a path forward. There’s also a little bit of admin to take care of beforehand — terms of service, that kind of thing (yes, the boring stuff — but we’ll get it sorted upfront so it’s out of the way).
Returning client? You know the drill.
Go ahead and book your next session via the calendar. If nothing fits your schedule, drop me a line at hello@nittygrittycoaching.com.au and we’ll work something out.

What our customers say

What our customers say 〰️
“I was feeling stuck and lost in both my personal and professional life when I began talking to Claire. She listened without judgment, creating a safe space where I could open up honestly. Through her thoughtful guidance, she helped me explore different perspectives and gently challenged my thinking, which encouraged me to start questioning certain beliefs and patterns. I highly recommend starting a conversation with Claire if you’re looking for meaningful support on your journey.”
“I’ve had multiple coaching sessions with Claire and am always amazed by her ability to understand both the stated and unstated challenges that I communicate in our short space of time together. She listens intently and asks powerful questions that challenge my thinking around a topic resulting in me coming up with less obvious solutions.”
