About Me
A dedicated coach and leader, empowering teachers to rediscover their passion and build fulfilling careers
Passionate about helping teachers find confidence and clarity
A former music teacher with over 20 years of experience, Louise now helps educators who feel stuck, overwhelmed and disconnected from their passion. Through The Teacher’s Compass Membership, she supports teachers in prioritising their wellbeing, overcoming burnout and gaining clarity on their next steps – whether that means rediscovering joy in the classroom or transitioning into a new career beyond teaching.
Having experienced teacher burnout firsthand, Louise understands the fear of change, especially for those who have spent a decade or more in education. Many teachers feel trapped in the profession due to job security, family responsibilities, or uncertainty about what else they can do.
Through mindset coaching, career guidance, and a supportive community, she helps educators regain confidence, explore alternative career paths and create a work-life balance that truly serves them.
Alongside her coaching work, Louise continues to support music education through consultancy, working with schools and organisations to develop enriching and sustainable music programs. Whether helping teachers navigate career transitions or shaping the future of music education, her mission remains the same – to empower, uplift and inspire those who dedicate their lives to teaching.

Why Work With Me?
I help teachers like you navigate career uncertainty, regain confidence and take control of their wellbeing – because you deserve a career (and life) that lights you up. But you don’t have to figure it all out on your own – I’m here to help!
With over 20 years in the classroom, I know firsthand the pressures, demands and emotional toll of teaching. I understand the unique challenges you’re facing because I’ve been there myself. My lived experience allows me to offer real, practical support that actually makes sense for teachers.
Feeling stuck or unsure of what to do next can be overwhelming. In our sessions, you’ll have a safe space to express your thoughts, fears and dreams without judgment. Whether you’re considering a career change or simply need help rediscovering your passion for teaching, I’m here to listen and guide you.
Clarity comes from action, and I’ll equip you with exercises, journal prompts and mindset strategies to help you move forward. You’ll walk away with a clear plan, new perspectives and the confidence to make decisions that align with your values and goals.
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to career change or finding balance. I take the time to understand your specific situation, strengths and aspirations, so we can create a plan tailored to YOU. This is about finding what works best for your life and career – not following someone else’s path.
Making big changes can feel scary, but you don’t have to do it alone. I’ll be there to support, encourage and challenge you to take those next steps – whether that’s setting boundaries at work, applying for new roles or launching a side business. Together, we’ll make sure you don’t stay stuck.
