Hi, I’m Paula Smith, a transformational coach, specialising in helping people overcome low self esteem, social anxiety and self-doubt to create a life filled with confidence, purpose, vitality, and joy.

My Journey

For 35 years, I’ve been guiding children and adults to develop and transform into the best version of themselves. I thrived in a demanding career, initially as a teacher and then as a school leader, balancing immense professional responsibility while raising two daughters as a single mother. It was fair to say I was a real 'achiever'. But behind the success, I faced deep personal challenges in my mental and physical health, stemming from low self-esteem, self-doubt and a negative self-image. I was working full out, trying to prove to the world (and myself!) that I was good enough. Eventually this took its toll and inevitably, everything came crashing down.

My life completely changed when I discovered the Elite Mentorship Forum. Through this incredible transformational program, I finally learned how to silence my inner critic and surrender to a life of abundant health and vitality, fulfilment and joy. 

My Mission

Every day, I wake up filled with immense gratitude and an unshakeable passion for guiding others on their transformational journey. As a personal development coach and certified trainer for The Elite Mentorship Forum, my mission is to empower individuals to break free from limiting beliefs and destructive self-perceptions that lead to emotional suffering, stifle potential, and ultimately result in burnout.

My Promise

I will be here, guiding you step-by-step as you learn to fall in love with yourself and create the life you dream of and deserve. 

Together, we’ll turn your challenges into stepping stones and your dreams into reality. Your next chapter starts here.
