About Sian Carlisle — London based Life & Leadership Coach

Hi, I’m Sian — a London-based life coach specialising in life transitions, personal change, career clarity and leadership development.

I work with people who are ready for a fresh chapter — whether it’s a career move, a confidence boost, an identity shift, or simply the feeling that you’re meant for something more. My coaching is warm, grounded, practical and rooted in real-life experience. If you’re looking for a life coach who is grounded, approachable and genuinely committed to your progress, you’re in the right place.

Across my 20+ year career in marketing, behaviour change and leadership roles, the theme has always been the same: helping people navigate change with confidence and clarity.

I’ve led teams, guided organisations through transformation, supported senior leaders, and worked in environments where adaptability and emotional intelligence are essential. All of that experience now sits at the heart of my work as a transition coach and change coach.

I understand:

how overwhelming change can feel
how easy it is to overthink the next step
how confidence can dip during transitions
how powerful it is to have support, structure and accountability

It’s the blend of strategic experience and human understanding that gives my gives my coaching its depth and impact.

The thread running through my life? Change.

Change has shaped every stage of my life — from navigating corporate restructures and stepping into leadership, to returning after maternity leave, rediscovering who I was after time away from my career, and rebuilding my life after personal loss. I know what it feels like to be capable but uncertain, ready for a new chapter but unsure where to begin. That lived experience, combined with years of professional expertise, is what drives my commitment to helping others move through their own transitions with clarity and confidence.

Why I Became a Coach

After decades of working in demanding, high-change environments — and navigating many of my own significant life transitions — I realised that the part of my work I loved most was people.

The conversations.
The breakthroughs.
The clarity.
The confidence that builds over time.
The sense of “this finally makes sense.”

Coaching became the natural next step. Now I support clients across the UK and beyond as they build:

confidence
clarity
direction
resilience
and momentum

If you’re looking for a coach who brings both professional expertise and deeply human understanding, I’d love to support you.

Life Beyond Coaching

I live in North London with my two brilliant daughters, and when I’m not coaching you’ll find me exploring London, watching women's football, diving into something historical, or planning a weekend adventure with good coffee and great views. I’m endlessly fascinated by genealogy and love delving into my family tree, discovering the stories and connections that shaped my ancestors’ lives.

You bring the willingness.
I’ll bring the structure, support and strategy.
