Hazel Brinkworth Coaching

When you prioritise yourself, you manage stress better, find balance, and feel energised—making it easier to tackle life!

Hi, I'm Hazel

Passionate about empowering you to live as the best version of yourself.

I’m an accredited ICF coach who helps busy professionals prioritise their well-being so they can show up as their best selves. Through my Be Well, Work Well programme, I guide you towards simple, sustainable habits that support your health and happiness, helping you work smarter, feel energised, and create a life that feels as good as it looks. When you take care of yourself first, everything else falls into place—and I’m here to help you make that happen.

Welcome to Be Well, Work Well

Are you constantly feeling like you've forgotten yourself? Do you find it challenging to refill your cup or put yourself first, with little time dedicated to your own needs? Many busy professionals like you struggle with an unbalanced life, feeling unfulfilled outside of work, and not being the best version of yourself for those you love. You might be experiencing physical symptoms like constant energy dips, fatigue, and an ever-present sense of stress, as your nervous system remains in a constant fight-or-flight state.

This Be Well, Work Well programme is designed to help you reclaim your well-being, ensuring you don’t make space for illness by ignoring your needs. There’s no better time to recommit to yourself like the present and step into the next few months with a charged battery, rather than running on empty. Imagine feeling revitalised rather than burnt out. That's where Be Well, Work Well can support you!

So, why me? I bring my own experience of transformation to this journey, having walked the path from burnout to balance. With years of working alongside busy professionals and a strong foundation in positive psychology and neuroscience, I lead by example and have built a business around this message. I’m dedicated to helping you thrive, and I’m excited to partner with you in creating a fulfilling and balanced life.

My Story

My Journey: From Burnout To Boldness

Hi there! I’m an educator originally from St Albans, England, and I’ve been in the teaching game for 16 years. My career started in the UK, but in 2012, I took the plunge into international teaching, hopping around amazing places like Thailand, Dubai, Singapore, and China. Each move was like a new adventure! I became pretty good at starting over—finding my feet, acclimatising, and figuring out how to truly thrive in each new place. Who doesn’t love making new friends and discovering what lights them up in a different culture, right?

But let me be real for a moment. About ten years ago, I hit a wall. Burnout snuck up on me like an uninvited guest. It had been building for a while, fuelled by stress and that nagging feeling of not being enough.

Sound familiar?

I was stuck in a loop, applying for middle leadership roles that caught my eye, all while feeling lost about my true purpose.

It was exhausting!

Then, I discovered coaching. It was a game-changer. While therapy was incredibly helpful (and still is!), coaching offered me something different: a clear path forward. I needed action, direction, and a way to break free from the overwhelm.

After that wake-up call, I began the long journey of taking better care of myself. I reevaluated what self-care meant for me and dove deep into my passion for professional development. Fast forward to 2021, and everything started to click into place. I took a leap and embarked on my own coach training journey. It opened my eyes to new personal and professional growth. I’m now working with clients around the globe, helping them find their clarity and purpose.

Everyone is calling themselves a coach these days and so it's wise to do your research before you work with a coach to ensure they are appropriately qualified.

I draw on my 16 years of experience in education, middle leadership, and international living in my coaching practice. As an ICF-accredited ACC coach, I'm currently accumulating hours to gain my PCC accreditation. I believe in the importance of credentials and high standards, so you can trust that when you work with me, you're partnering with someone who is committed to her own growth. I collaborate with a business coach, a coaching supervisor, and a network of coaches who help me show up as my best self for you. I walk the talk.

I base my coaching on the principles of positive psychology, neuroscience, and mindset. I believe that understanding how our brains work can empower us to create lasting change. Why should you put yourself first? Because you deserve it!

I’m grateful for my burnout journey—it taught me invaluable lessons about self-awareness and the importance of recognising my own needs. Now, I’m passionate about helping others do the same.

That’s how Be Well, Work Well came to life.

So, are you ready to start your own journey of self-discovery and growth?
