A little bit about me…

Hi, I’m Ciara, a life and mindset coach, educator, and the founder of Be You Coaching.

I help women build confidence, clarity, and direction so they can create lives that feel aligned, empowered, and truly their own.

I believe every woman deserves to feel grounded, capable, and confident in who she is. My work is rooted in compassion, deep listening, and practical tools that help you move from feeling stuck, to feeling steady and in control again.

Why I Do This Work?

Like many women, I’ve gone through seasons of self-doubt, transition, burnout, and the feeling of “I should have it all figured out by now”.

I’ve supported women who felt lost, overwhelmed, or stuck in the same cycles — knowing they wanted more, but unsure how to move forward. Through my own journey of self-discovery, confidence-building, and navigating major life transitions, I learned that lasting change doesn’t come from pushing harder… it comes from reconnecting with who you truly are.

That belief is at the heart of my work.

That’s why I created Be You Coaching. To give women a space where they are truly seen, heard, and supported without judgment… and where growth happens at a pace that feels safe and sustainable.

I am a professionally trained Personal, Leadership and Executive Coach, with a background in journalism where clear, compassionate communication became one of my core strengths.

I’m also the host of the Mindset Matters, dedicated to helping women shift their thinking and create meaningful change.


I combine professional training with real-life experience, intuition, and a genuine passion for helping women grow.

Before becoming a coach, I spent years working as a journalist and broadcaster with RTÉ, Ireland’s public service broadcaster. That experience trained me to listen deeply, ask powerful questions, and help people find clarity in moments of uncertainty, skills that now form the foundation of my coaching work.

“Invest in yourself with a no-nonsense approach to personal and professional development.”

WORK WITH ME

my approach

Warm & human — I meet you exactly where you are.

Insightful — I help you explore patterns and beliefs holding you back.

Growth-focused — We’ll work on confidence, mindset and practical action.

Deeply supportive — I’m with you through the process, not just the sessions.

Tailored to you — No templates, no generic advice — everything is personalised.

Whether you’re returning to work, navigating change, or simply craving clarity, my goal is to help you reconnect with yourself and step forward with confidence.

Clients often describe our sessions as: “Safe, grounding, and eye-opening.” “Like talking to someone who truly gets it.” “Empowering — I leave every session feeling lighter and clearer.”

My goal isn’t just to help you feel better, it’s to help you understand yourself better, trust yourself more, and feel strong in your own decisions.

TESTIMONIALS

  • “Ciara is an amazing coach! I worked with her to figure out my career path and she helped me get to the root of what was holding me back. She's super insightful and supportive, and she helped me build the confidence I needed to take the next step. I couldn't recommend her more highly - she's the real deal."

    Siobhan Mungovan, Coach, Author, TEDx speaker

  • “I really enjoyed working with Ciara. This was my first time to work with a coach. Her direct yet gentle approach created a safe space where I felt heard and supported. She has a great ability to listen and ask the right questions to get me thinking for myself. Through just two sessions, I discovered more about myself than I expected and came away feeling more confident and motivated to chase my next goal. I now believe more in my own ability and am ready to put in the work for my next career step. I would highly recommend working with Ciara. Thanks so much!”

    Kate - Primary Teacher

  • “At the beginning of the programme, I had a rough idea of where I wanted to go without a very clear conception of how to get there. As a result of the programme I have gained so much clarity about the possible paths to take, and especially about what they may practically look like - it has definitely, for the first time enabled me to actually see and envision my future self in my dream roles. I greatly appreciate the practical, professional and personal-life discussion shared. Especially in relation to the identification of values and long-term goals and finding your voice and confidence.”

    Niamh, Dublin

  • "Working with Ciara not only helped me to identify the areas of my career that I wanted to improve or pursue, but also the mentalities and beliefs I had to leave behind to do so. We developed interesting and effective new strategies to achieve my goals and to progress my career. Ciara's insight, suggestions and action plans were extremely helpful."
