Hi there & welcome to Ember Coaching! I am so pleased you have taken some time to visit my site today. My name is Sadhbh Dunne and I am a fully qualified Life Coach with a particular interest in Mental Health and Well-Being Coaching based in Westport, Co. Mayo.

I have always had a big interest in people and what it is that makes them tick. I’m always the person that friends, colleagues and even total strangers feel comfortable to confide in. In essence, I feel like my Coaching skills have been developing throughout my life, long before I even knew what Life Coaching was. 

In 2020 I was introduced to Life Coaching and something clicked that Monday evening. For the first time I could see an area that I truly wanted to work in and I felt excitement for the possibilities it held. Throughout my intensive training with the wonderful Irish Life Coach Institute, I learnt so much about myself. I gained clarity on my values and beliefs and it led me to reflect on the person I want to be in this world. 

I now understand that for a large part of my life, I tried to be everything to everyone. Over time the boulders on my shoulder representing other people’s struggles, stress and upset just got too heavy for me to continue to carry. I had neglected my own mental well-being in an effort to make everyone else’s experience better. I wore a mask to hide the way I was feeling, and created strong barriers so that my true emotions would not become apparent. This left me vulnerable at times when my own well-being was suffering, because to everyone on the outside I appeared to be so strong. But this was not always the case. Through my life experiences to date I have become incredibly resilient and I work to maintain my mental well-being every single day by using a wide range of strategies. I know how crucial it is for us all to have a toolkit that can support us when the tough times come, as they inevitably do. I have had to navigate my own struggles, but now I am in a position to thrive.

My goal through my Coaching work is to support people who feel the way I did to begin prioritising their own mental health. Supporting your well-being should not be seen as a luxury or a nice to have, it’s an essential part of life. Whilst stigma around mental health in Ireland is thankfully decreasing, it is still not something that is given the care or attention it needs at a societal level. 

This is why I am so passionate about people living fulfilled lives and having content relationships, as life really is too short for anything less. This is not a rehearsal, this is your one precious life. There might be a reason you were brought to this page today.. so if you are ready to put in the work & think we could work well together, then please reach out to me because I would love to meet you.
