Transform Your Next Chapter.

The best is yet to come...

Welcome to Transform Your Next Chapter

Transformational Life Coaching

I’m Brenda Crossely, a retired NHS nurse, qualified coach, NPL practitioner.  I’ve done the career, raised a family, been at everyone’s beck and call and also pondered ‘What’s Next’.

Once upon a time I was a nurse and thought that life would be easy when I retired. No more alarm clock (I still love that bit), no boss, no stress, I could do what I want when I want…..

Turns out, I found myself in that “what on earth do I do now?” space. Excited and raring to go but with no idea what I wanted to do. 

Transform Your Next Chapter is me sharing that journey and guiding and inspiring you on yours.

The lessons, the surprises, and the joy of figuring it out as we go.

magic happens.  This is where your next chapter begins. And it might just be better than the last one.

If you’re standing at a crossroads thinking,

“Right… what now?” you are definitely not alone.

Whether that’s after a big life shake-up, a career shift, or simply realising the old way isn’t working anymore.

A Moment To Reflect

Do you sometimes look out of the window and drift off, getting a tingle in your belly where you just ‘know’ there are other things you could do, hidden talents to discover, or maybe something you could change but you don’t quite know what? Or how?

Work With Me

You’ve done the career, raised the family, ticked the boxes (been at everyone’s beck and call….) Now it’s your turn. Yes you. No it’s not selfish. Do you really want to do what everyone else wants you to do for the rest of your life? If that’s a “NO” read on.

As a qualified coach and a career as a registered nurse, I draw on years of training and experience, NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), life coaching, and self-development strategies (plus a hefty dose of humour and straight-talking honesty) to help women over 50 get clear on what they want, challenge old patterns and beliefs, and step into the next chapter with confidence.

Whether you prefer to learn at your own pace, share the journey with a small group, or dive deep one-to-one, there’s a programme here for you.

Journeys of Growth and Transformation

“At first, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I’m so glad I gave it a go. Brenda helped me understand why I sometimes stayed stuck in old patterns and showed me new ways of thinking. I’ve learned tools I can use every day to explore new possibilities and follow my dreams with more focus and confidence.”
Julie
“After early retirement, I wanted to be more active but was struggling with hip pain and a sedentary lifestyle. Working with Brenda helped me find exercises that worked for me and gradually rebuild my fitness. I now have a routine I enjoy and can easily return to when life gets busy — and my hip pain has eased too!”
Anne
“Changing my career felt daunting, but Brenda helped me look beyond my initial plan and explore new, creative possibilities. I’ve made positive tweaks that make my work more balanced and fulfilling. Brenda is supportive, positive, and full of insight — she helped me see things differently and move forward at my own pace. I wouldn’t have made this much progress without her.”
Andrea
“Brenda is a brilliant life coach. She helped me to identify and overcome my limiting beliefs in a non judgemental way. She gave me the tools and support to make small changes which gave me the confidence to make bigger ones. I feel so much more positive and instead of always thinking 'I can't' I now think 'I can' and 'I will'. I would highly recommend Brenda.”
Cheryl
“Please can you say just how amazing my Time Line Therapy (TM) with you was. I made a big decision to remove a toxic person out of my life after 20 years. This has changed my life completely. Amazing with no regrets you were so kind, explained everything fully. I would recommend everyone I know to you to try this therapy especially in this hectic world that we live in. 💜 ”

Something to Ponder

One thing I hate – regrets. If there’s something you said or did that you regret then put it right. If you can’t then move on. (coaching can help with that by the way #just saying).

Like anyone interested in self development and learning about themselves, there are some things that stick in my mind. Such as the number one regret in the book The Top Five Regrets of the Dying by Bronnie Ware. Let me share it with you…

“I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.”

Have a cup of tea and think about it. This is why I’m here.
