About Dr Joselyn Sellen

Midlife is not a crisis. It's an awakening.

I partner with women navigating midlife who sense a fresh start is calling but feel stuck at the starting line. Our work together focuses on transforming outdated roles, beliefs and expectations to rediscover your authentic voice, and create a life that you live on your terms.

I'm a Chartered Psychologist and Woman-Centred Transformational Coach. I spent over twenty years in Higher Education, first as an academic in Psychology, later as a leader in professional services, while building a coaching business alongside.I've spent my career studying behaviour change and the beliefs and thinking patterns that shape how people see themselves at a deep, often unconscious level.

And I've spent just as much time quietly unlearning those same patterns myself - imposter syndrome, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the quiet belief that I was somehow lacking because of being a divorced, single mum.

It was only through my own Woman-Centred Coaching training that I realised - none of that was true. These were not just limiting beliefs, I'd made these beliefs part of my identity.

In 2024, on a beautiful Retreat in the French Alps, I was asked to choose one word on which to reflect.

Mine was Freedom.

That Retreat was where I decided to let things go, and to live fully on my own terms.

 

I grew up in the generation of women told we could have it all. What actually happened is we ended up doing it all:  career, caregiving, household responsibilities, relationships, everyone else's needs; carried largely invisibly for decades.

 

Midlife is where that catches up with us. Not as a crisis, but as a crossroads, an awakening. 

 

And I believe it's one of the most exciting chapters available to us, if we can get past what's quietly holding us back.

 

That's the work I do now.

 

Helping women tranform from doing it all, to choosing it all.
