About the Author

Shelley J Whitehead, an award-winning relationship coach with a unique blend of personal and professional experience, offers deep insights into the realms of love, loss, and personal growth. Born in South Africa and now London-based, her approach to coaching embodies resilience and wisdom with deep and soulful insight.

Shelley’s own heart has walked through the fires of loss — from the heart-wrenching departure of a partner to cancer to the sudden dissolution of a marriage. From these ashes, she’s unearthed a profound truth: heartbreak, in its rawest form, offers a mirror to the soul, illuminating hidden dreams and passions. With lyrical wisdom, Shelley guides individuals on a transformative journey through their heartbreak and steers them towards a life abundant in love and connection.

Over her decades in practice, Shelley has amassed a diverse set of qualifications and accreditations. Notably, she is a Certified Life Coach (New Insights UK, ACCPH), Certified Transpersonal Coach (IACTM), and Encounter-Centered Couples Coach (EcCT, with Hedy Schleifer). Shelley also holds certifications in Ericksonian Hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and as an Advanced Authentic Self Empowerment Facilitator (ASE). She is accredited with the International Association of Coaches, Therapists, and Mentors (IACTM).
