About
I’m Esther Goodyear, a personal development coach working with wellness specialists to support leaders and individuals seeking deeper balance and transformation. During 15 years of practice, I’ve worked with many professionals and individuals. I’ve helped them uncover hidden barriers, build resilience and reconnect with their inner sense of clarity and purpose through a purposeful, supportive and direct coaching style. I create a safe, honest space so clients can explore, shift perspectives and develop the skills to make lasting change. I get to the heart of the issue while encouraging authentic self-discovery. Having worked with executives and individuals across diverse sectors, I’ve seen firsthand how the pressures of leadership often lead to burnout, disconnection and imbalance. True and sustainable change—both personal and professional—requires inner renewal and a rebalancing of mind, body, heart and spirit. That is why I have developed a holistic approach that combines transformational coaching with powerful wellness practices including mindfulness, yoga and time in nature - all while harnessing the restorative power of the sea. A tranquil coastal setting with its unique landscape and peaceful atmosphere offers the perfect environment for this journey. Inspired by my own journey through significant relationship transition, I offer more than traditional coaching - I guide individuals through meaningful inner work that supports lasting wellbeing and an awareness of what inspires, what depletes and what nourishes the greater whole.
My Story
I’ve experienced my own transformation, one that deepened my understanding of what truly creates wholeness and true change. I understand what it means to lose your sense of identity, direction and confidence during life’s turning points—whether through burnout, relationship breakdown or major transition.
My journey helped me discover the profound impact of combining coaching, yoga and mindfulness, all within the restorative embrace of the sea. What began as a personal path to healing has become a passion for supporting others. A coastal landscape that once offered me sanctuary now serves as a powerful setting for others to pause, reflect and reconnect to reveal the deep link between personal renewal and professional clarity.

My Approach
My work brings together transformational coaching, mindfulness, character strengths and yoga to support deep lasting change. Coaching clarifies values, sets meaningful intentions and helps you create a clear path forward. Yoga offers physical movement and breathing techniques and creates space for self-knowledge and inner strength. Mindfulness develops present moment awareness without judgement and emotional resilience. This holistic approach engages your mind, heart, body and spirit – activating your cognitive, emotional and somatic intelligence to enable authentic transformation beyond surface-level solutions. My style is purposeful yet supportive, helping clients recognise their strengths, move past limiting patterns and develop the skills needed to step forward with clarity, courage and confidence. Drawing from a strong foundation in co-active, generative, high-performance and cross-cultural coaching, plus emotional intelligence, NLP, VIA character strengths and resource-based therapy, I tailor my approach to each individual, ensuring a flexible responsive process for real-world impact. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing clients reconnect with their inner resources and move forward empowered – grounded, clear and ready to navigate life with renewed purpose.
Success Stories
“TREMEDOUSLY IMPACTFUL"
Coaching with Esther has been tremendously impactful- in my personal and work life. Her coaching resulted in an increase in my skills as a people leader, my career overall but also an improvement of quality time with family and friends.
I especially valued us focusing on all areas of my life and defining those at the start of our coaching journey. Esther has especially a very strong expertise in communication - an area I personally believe everyone can always work on.
I very much appreciated our sessions being backed up by relevant thought leadership assets, which helped me to reflect after each session.
I can highly recommend Esther as an executive coach.

Esther is one of those brilliant coaches who has the ability to push people through the inflection points in their careers. She can identify the sticking points, unglue them and then get them steaming forward again. Many coaches just tell you what you want to hear; Esther just tells you what you need to listen to.
In working with her, and sending her a diverse set of characters to deal with, she was able to instantly form a productive bond with her clients and produce results fast.
