Meet Claire
I have spent the last 25 years working within the executive recruitment (headhunting) industry, starting out as a Secretary in 2000. I undertook my training as a Researcher at Heidrick and Struggles, an international consultancy and then worked for smaller, specialist businesses including Hanson Green, Directorbank, Gerard Daniels and New Minds Resourcing. My industry knowledge spans property, construction, energy, mining, sustainability and professional services. I work on roles in the £100k+ salary bracket, both in the UK and overseas.​
​
I am also a qualified and accredited career coach specialising in Psychosynthesis coaching which means I work at depth with my clients, similar to a counsellor. I am a member of the EMCC (European Mentoring and Coaching Council). Many of my clients are at a career crossroads, are looking to change direction, start a new business or have just lost confidence in themselves. My background in recruitment is of great benefit to my career coaching clients.
​
I have been described as a "pocket angel" and I am really proud of that. I use all the experience I have gained in my life, plus my experience as an accredited psychosynthesis coach to gently guide and support you to life your best life.
​
If you would like to speak to me about any of my services, please book a call and we can have a chat - if I cannot help you, I will do my best to recommend someone that can.

Claire has so many qualities that make her an unbelievable coach. Her insights into my mindset, together with her expertise in boosting my confidence whilst silencing those negative inner voices, have all been so incredibly helpful.
Claire is more than a coach, she is my pocket angel! Her warmth, support and genuine care create a safe space for me to explore challenges, share successes and grow both personally and professionally. In each and every one of our sessions together, Claire has picked up on every single word, listening intently to everything I say.

I can recommend Claire unreservedly. She is a consumate professional, conscientious and hard working. Throughout the seven years we worked together, she was consistently the best performer in her peer group in three different companies. And most importantly she has a great sense of humour and is a real pleasure to work with.

Claire Deacon recently provided an earning capacity report™ to assist a separated couple in mediation with me. There are often issues regarding work with disputes about how much a party might be able to work, and what level of income they might be expected to achieve. This is an issue where it is often challenging to find common ground so being able to obtain an expert report from an experienced professional really helped to inform their discussions so that they were able to find a way forward based on what was objectively realistic with regard to work.
