Retirement Coaching is for the part of retired life that the spreadsheets can’t solve.
Most people who come to me for Retirement Coaching have already done the spreadsheets . The numbers work for them. What actualy brings them to me is quieter than that, and harder to say out loud.
It's rehearsing how you'll answer "so what do you do now?" before you've even retired, it’s picturing your calendar empty and not knowing if that'll feel like relief or something closer to grief, it's wondering whether you and your partner actually know how to be in a room together all day, not just evenings and weekends.
If any of that sounds like you, I want you to know you're not imagining it, and you're not alone in it. I'm a Retirement Coach specialising in the emotional, non-financial side of retirement. Not a financial adviser, not a psychologist. I help with the part the spreadsheets don't cover.

Why work with me?
I have been working for over 12 years as a Retirement Coach with clients from diverse backgrounds. Years before Retirement Coaching became widely known I was writing about the importance of meaning and purpose in retired life, and working with clients. To get more colour you can visit my media page:

and read an article I wrote in the Actuaries Institute which explores why financial preparation may not be enough.

I appeared on the SBS Insight program, here is a summary
I offer 1:1 coaching, a self study online course and a book. You can find details below…….
Retirement Coaching
Personalised Coaching Sessions
I work one-to-one, because your retirement isn't generic and neither is our conversation. Over the six-session program, we build clarity on who you are once work doesn't define you, a shape to your days that's more than "I'll play more golf," and a plan for staying connected - to people, to purpose, to a reason to get up in the morning. You won't leave with a worksheet, you'll leave with a retirement that actually feels like yours.
Why six sessions? Because I've been through this myself, and I know it doesn't resolve itself in one conversation. When I left full-time work, I was confused for months before I worked out what I now call "the formula" - a deliberate mix of purpose, structure and connection that actually holds a retirement together. Six sessions is enough time to get you there properly, rather than stumbling through it alone the way I did.
We meet face-to-face if you're in Sydney, or by video if you're anywhere else in Australia or beyond. I follow a process called the 4M Process: Missing, Measuring, Meaning, Mastery.
Most people start with the free 15 minute no obligation phone call to see if I can help and if we’re a good fit.

Retirement Course FAQ
-
It covers much of the same ground as the six-session coaching program, so you can work through it at your own pace.
-
The course gives you the material and a framework to work through alone. Coaching is personal - shaped around your specific situation, not a fixed structure. Many people use the course as a first step, then move into coaching once they know they want more direct support.
