You don’t need to start from scratch.
You can start from here.
Gentle coaching for meaningful life and career transitions
You are standing at a crossroads — between what was and what’s ahead.
Perhaps life has shifted beneath your feet: a career change, a new country, a new chapter of parenthood, or simply a feeling that something needs to shift.You want change, not chaos.You want clarity, not pressure.You want to grow without losing yourself in the process.
Our coaching is grounded in gentleness, clarity, and intention.
I believe that change doesn’t need pressure — it needs space.Together, we create the space to slow down, breathe, and look inwards — so that each step forward feels rooted, natural, and deeply yours. Your path unfolds with confidence, and change begins to feel like coming back to yourself.
Hello, I'm Lorraine Wilkes.
I am a Certified Coach (PCC, CPCC) focusing on Career and Life Transitions, helping my clients ease into change with clarity and confidence.
I’ve supported more than 80 clients through their career and life transitions and I’ve lived many of my own. I’ve worked in research and marketing across multinationals and startups, lived in 6 countries across 3 continents, and recently became a parent for the first time.I am also completing a training in Montessori teaching, which deepens my understanding of how humans learn, build confidence, and find their place in the world — and it continually informs my coaching approach.
I offer individual coaching online,
in English or French.
There are two ways to ease into your next chapter, depending on whether you know exactly what you want to work on, or you are searching for clarity about what needs to shift.

Your closing direction guide
"Lorraine is a knowledgeable Co-Active coach, who does her magic with such ease that you hardly notice what’s happening. I’m a mother of a baby and a toddler who left a successful corporate career to open her own business just as Covid-19 hit. I live across the world from my extended family and although I’m full of energy, sometimes it feels like I’ve got too much going on!Lorraine helped me work though personal and professional topics in which I was feeling stuck, and sometimes even helpless. I never felt judged by her, which I think was key to allow myself to go deeper. I was able to untap more of my power and learn tools that have been very useful as I navigate the complexities in my life.
Today, I feel more empowered and balanced, and Lorraine’s coaching had a lot to do with that!"
Cassandra, Malaysia
"Lorraine is the one I didn’t know I needed until I met her. Living a busy life in London, I had become a slave to my to do list - my busyness and my ambitions to be and do everything at once - at odds with a coinciding longing to be still and escape.Since starting to meet Lorraine, more and more I’m living the life I want to live, having the relationships I want to have and seeking out things that are difficult - rather than avoiding them - because I know I’m better equipped to deal with them. I’m happier, less busy and accomplishing more than I did before - all with a sense of clarity I’d previously lost."
Laura, UK
"Lorraine is such a phenomenal coach - so full of warmth, compassion, dedication, reliability, and focus, which allowed me to grow and learn in so many sustainable ways. She has this unique combination of being full of heart, yet also with this dedication as your coach to help you go beyond, grow beyond, and be beyond. [...] Thank you again so much for everything, Lorraine - you gave me the tools to step into my own power. What more could I have asked for!"
Linh, Germany
“I have always been very skeptical, not to say suspicious, towards the very principle of coaching. Nevertheless, I let myself be tempted by a first contact with Lorraine. The softness of her voice, the world of absolute non judgement and the immense trust that she establishes convinced me straight away.
4 months during which Lorraine showed me that I had all the tools I needed within myself to “reconnect”, to make decisions, to trust myself. It changed my life, but also that of the ones close to me because I now rely less heavily on them given that I am able to find the answers to my questions within me.”
