Holly Roberts

Career and Transitions Coach

As an Accredited Coach Practitioner, I’ve had the privilege of coaching clients through career changes, major life transitions, and leadership journeys. My client-centred approach is rooted in active listening, emotional intelligence, and empowering individuals to build confidence and find a path that works for them.

I’m particularly passionate about empowering women in leadership and creating environments where women can lead with confidence and authenticity.

My approach places you at the centre, offering a safe, reflective space where you can focus on yourself. I provide the encouragement, tools, and support needed to help you gain clarity—whether you're returning from maternity leave, transitioning careers, or navigating professional shifts.

About

My mission is to help clients navigating significant professional transitions to rediscover their purpose and realign with their values. I believe in creating a coaching space where clients feel seen, heard, and understood, especially when dealing with the complexities of life after maternity leave or a career break.

Through my empowering, action-oriented coaching style, I support clients in exploring their passions, gaining clarity, and setting realistic goals for the future. My sessions are designed to provide structure, reflection, and personal growth, transforming challenges into opportunities. My goal is to help you find your own path, regain confidence, redefine your purpose, and restore balance—especially when life may have changed in ways you didn’t expect.

Approach

Having experienced significant life transitions myself – including balancing a career with family life across three continents- I bring a deep understanding of the challenges faced by those returning from maternity leave or navigating career shifts. I’m familiar with the evolving values and identities that come with becoming a parent, and the balancing act required to juggle both family and career.

As a natural empath, I was drawn to coaching after experiencing its transformative power in my own life. I bring this firsthand experience to my work with clients, encouraging them to share their stories and reflect on the pivotal moments that have shaped who they are today. Through reflective inquiry and thoughtful questioning, I help clients uncover their goals and chart a path forward that feels authentic and fulfilling.

Experience

Before becoming a coach, I built a successful career in marketing and communications across both the private and public sectors, with a focus on entertainment and the arts. Having lived and worked in Argentina, Australia, China, Spain, and the UK, I’ve gained invaluable experience navigating diverse cultures and helping individuals break down communication barriers. My passion lies in supporting clients- particularly those in global teams- through transitions and fostering better understanding across cultures.

I have extensive experience guiding clients through significant life transitions, including expatriation, returning to work after maternity leave, and managing extended career breaks. I also support clients navigating career changes, offering guidance on development, promotion, building flexible careers, and providing job search assistance. Additionally, I’ve helped individuals work through personal crises, breaking free from self-limiting beliefs, overcoming overwhelm, building resilience, and restoring balance.

I am an Accredited Coach and member of the EMCC and deeply committed to professional growth. I am also a certified Emotions Practitioner and mental health first aider.
