Hi, I’m Candida
I’m passionate about helping people turn self-doubt into a source of strength and creativity. As a coach, artist, and facilitator, I guide individuals to build emotional resilience and pursue their dreams with courage and confidence. My approach blends empathy, creativity, and practicality, offering the support you need to navigate life’s transitions and explore new possibilities. I love working with creatives, career changers, and entrepreneurs who are ready to grow and thrive. Let’s explore your unique path together!
You’ve got ideas, dreams, and a vision for a better world—but doubt, overwhelm, and fear can hold you back. I understand how that feels, and I’m here to help you cut through the noise, reconnect with who you truly are, and focus on what you want to create.
Bringing Your Vision to Life Starts Here
What I Do
I support passionate, purpose-driven individuals to:
- Learn from self-doubt and use it as a stepping stone to grow.
- Unlock inner strength and clarity to bring ideas and visions to life.
- Boost confidence and gain innovative perspectives that open up new possibilities.
Through personalised coaching, courses, and workshops, I provide a safe, inclusive space where creativity, compassion, and tailored guidance empower you to take action with resilience and self-belief.
How I do it
My approach combines:
- Compassionate, empathetic listening that helps you feel truly heard and understood.
- Realistic, practical strategies that fit your life and guide you toward lasting results.
- Creative, personalised methods that make personal growth feel inspiring and achievable.
I draw from both professional expertise and lived experience, walking alongside you on this journey. It’s not about doing the work for you—it’s about helping you trust yourself to take meaningful steps forward.
Why it matters
Too many powerful ideas go unshared because self-doubt gets in the way. But your vision matters—especially if you’re someone who thrives on helping and uplifting others. I know that the positive change you’re dreaming of could have a ripple effect far beyond what you imagine
My Mission
I’m here to create a ripple effect of self-trust, courage, and resilience. When you move through your doubts and bring your unique ideas into the world, you contribute to a future that’s brighter for all of us.

“Picking out your core skills, identifying what sets you apart, so you can see your own magic”
Candida has a gift in understanding exactly what you are about. Picking out your core skills, identifying what sets you apart and then selling it all back to you, so you can see your own magic. After a couple of knockbacks on job applications and feeling frustrated, I asked Candida to give me some honest feedback. She cut through the rubbish and got me to see how I needed to make a change in the tone of my application. I wasn’t getting across the skills I had from previous roles and how they would link to a new role in tech. I listened to what she had to say and used it in my next application. The result, an immediate interview and then securing a dream role. I cannot thank her enough for her time and support. If you are lucky enough to have her as your coach, you will know exactly what I mean. ‘

“I’m now making sessions for donations, a regular feature in my business. “
When I saw Candida’s initiative for World Mental Health day, I knew I wanted to be a part of it. This ticked so many boxes. I was looking for a way to give back through my coaching business, and wanted to offer more people the experience of coaching, as well as supporting and raising awareness of mental health – so I signed up. Candida was amazing throughout, supporting us and providing help to promote our offering. I’m so glad I took part. I’m now making sessions for donations, a regular feature in my business. Thanks Candida!
