My Philosophy

Together We Will

You don’t have to keep pushing through the fog.

If you feel stuck, heavy with self-doubt, or like you’ve lost your way, you’re not alone.

Through calm, compassionate coaching, I help professionals identify what’s holding them back, reframe their mental blockers and take practical steps to move forward with clarity, confidence and lightness.

Together, we shift the narrative -so you can stop second-guessing yourself and start feeling like you again.

I use a compassionate yet highly practical approach to guide them to flip their narrative, unlock their potential, and finally feel like themselves again.

Together, we create a shift in perspective leaving them lighter, freer, and more
aligned with who they really are.

About Mary Van Eker

Hi, I’m Mary, a mum of four, a corporate veteran, and a certified Life Coach.

I know how overwhelming life can feel when you’re facing uncertainty or standing at a crossroads. That’s why I created Be By Your Side Coaching, to offer a calm, supportive space where you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

With warmth, honesty, and deep care, I’ll help you gently explore what’s holding you back. Together, we’ll shine a light on the unhelpful patterns, beliefs, or doubts that may be clouding your thinking, and we’ll work through them at your pace.

I bring years of real-world experience and coaching insight to every session, helping you find clarity, confidence, and direction. You’ll leave each session feeling lighter, more grounded, and ready to take meaningful steps forward, no overwhelm, no pressure, just real progress.

If you’re ready to start thinking clearly and moving forward with kindness, purpose and ease, I’d be honoured to be by your side.

Let’s begin this journey together. Get in touch today.

Mary is a wonderful human being and coach. I worked with Mary during a really challenging time in my life. Mary kindly, and patiently, worked with me to identify what really mattered to me and what I really wanted to get out of my life. This helped me to see, in my own time, the parts of my life that I needed to change, and helped me understand what sort of actions I needed to take. I attribute a lot of my happiness to working with Mary, by working with her I learned how to identify and set manageable goals which is a skill I will take with me for life. I still keep two pieces of paper from our work together where she used a technique with me where I envisioned my life in the future. I check them most weeks to make sure I am feeling aligned with them ☺️ I cannot recommend working with Mary enough, you won’t regret it!

Life changing! I was lucky enough to be in Mary’s life coaching course earlier this year & it was absolutely amazing. From enabling me time to reflect, not easy being a ridiculously busy mum & working full time, armour me with tricks & tips to maintain focus, take time for me & above all love myself. It was a brilliant course run by an equally brilliant Professional Coach.
Mary is kind, positive & very professional. She supported everyone n the course & her energy shines through. Can’t recommend enough YOU HAVE TO TRY IT it’s life changing.

Mary has a natural talent for coaching and helped me make a number of changes to my working life and boosted my confidence significantly. Mary shows patience and prompts you to think through your options and approach finding what works best for you. I am in a much better position after my coaching experience.”

“Mary in an excellent and amazing Coach! Her enthusiasm and high empathy make every session unique and valuable. She has a broad knowledge of techniques and can easily apply the best method.
During our sessions, I had many eye opening moments that let me know myself and my feelings better.
In addition to it, as a non-English native speaker I appreciate the way Mary leads our sessions, that language is never a barrier.
I’m very glad to be working with Mary.”
