Mary Vaughan

Experience 

Mary was educated in Ireland and the UK and continued her first degree in Business at the University of Southern New Hampshire, before taking on roles in HR management in Europe. 

After several years as a HR expert as part of senior leadership teams, Mary became a qualified professional coach in both Ireland and the UK, and works internationally in this field and her HR consultancy business.

Building on her business background, Mary started to specialise in executive coaching and gained the insight that, aside from business and workplace relevance, much of her coaching was about relationships challenges, separation and divorce related coaching. In addition, addictions and mental health support featured vastly in her work. 

As a professional coach, Mary is active in recommending counselling when required and/or continuing with focused coaching on elements where it is appropriate. 

Mary is based in Ireland.

A little bit about Mary

Mary is a nature lover. She basks in the great outdoors and likes to tap into her creative side, through baking, writing and learning. Outside of work, she relaxes and engages in good natured humour with friends and community activity.

Mary is happily married currently and takes each day at its own time, knowing well that separation has become part of everyday life for many close friends and family members she has supported.
