Are you facing a significant life transition?


I’m Maryanne Perry,
a Professional Coach who partners with people to successfully navigate significant life transitions so they can overcome confusion and confidently create meaningful lives, careers and relationships.

Significant life transitions are challenging.
We are pushed outside our comfort zone and the inevitable change can feel daunting and overwhelming. 

These times of change can arrive with a shock when something ends unexpectedly, or they can creep up on you as your feelings of disquiet and dissatisfaction grow around an area of your life.

If you’re going through a life transition right now it could look like: 

Realising that the career you once loved is no longer fulfilling, but you feel lost with what else you could do.

Deeply questioning whether your relationship is something you want to stay in, and feeling afraid of what the future will hold if you don’t.

Facing a challenging health diagnosis that requires lifestyle and behavioural changes that leave you feeling overwhelmed and wondering how to stay positive. 

Recognising that you’re ready to step into a new level of leadership in your work but you feel uncertain you’ve got what it takes to be successful in that elevated role. 

Whatever significant life event you might be facing, you’ll likely feel confused about how to move forward, unsure of what is even possible, and alone with the uncertainty. 

And you don’t need to be.

Partnering with people to develop the awareness, strength and confidence they need to successfully navigate significant life transitions, is what I do. 

“I believe life is not too short, but in fact far too long for us to endure unsatisfying and unfulfilling lives, careers and relationships.”

My Background

Over the past 22 years as a coach, facilitator and trainer, I have helped thousands of people around the world to attain new levels of personal awareness that deliver the clarity, and spark the motivation we all need to make positive, sustainable changes in our life.

Whether I’m working with Multinational CEOs, AirForce Officers, Middle Managers or Midlife Mums, I bring the same nurturing and practical approach that clients have described as a cross between an intuitive guide and strategic ally.

I know what it’s like to face big life transitions having gone through my own midlife career crisis in my 40s. I left a secure 20-year career in education and started a business as a professional coach, all while co-supporting a family of 8. It was an emotionally difficult time, and I made it through because I found the support I needed. 

What I now know is that while significant life transitions are extremely challenging, they also present opportunities to shift into a more meaningful way of living and working.

That’s now my mission - to help you move through your significant life transition and attain a level of personal and professional fulfilment you didn’t even know was possible.

“We begin by creating a roadmap that will guide your transition. The roadmap identifies your destination, your milestones and the mindset shifts needed to create the experiences you are seeking.”

My Training

With a unique blend of qualifications in Master Coaching (MCC), Gestalt Psychotherapy and NeuroLeadership, I partner with my clients to open doors in their mind to new possibilities so they can make confident decisions to turn that possibility into reality.    

We begin by creating a roadmap that will guide your transition. The roadmap identifies your destination, your milestones and the mindset shifts needed to create the experiences you are seeking.

Then, using Gestalt techniques throughout, we ensure you develop a deep self-awareness around your significant life transition that clears your confusion and connects you to the motivation you need to get into action.

As we continue to work together you will access your unique strengths and skills, and embody new qualities for overcoming roadblocks so you can walk into your desired future.

I have used this tried-and-tested process to support people to successfully navigate health challenges, relationship issues, mid-life reviews, leadership promotions, and career realignments.

How we work together

Working with me is a true partnership guided by these principles:

Your feelings are valid and valuable signposts. Once acknowledged your body calms and your mind is clear for the next steps.

Your mind body awareness is your compass to the right action and right path for you.

Developing personal awareness is the key to creating positive, tangible results 

Your past, present and future are connected, so working with one creates changes in all 

If you are ready to create sustainable shifts that result in more connected relationships, satisfying work and personal wellbeing, I’d love to partner with you.
