Noel Clerkin

I’m Noel Clerkin, and I help people to get unstuck from the thinking and feelings that are holding them back in life. I have been coaching full time since 2002, and I am one of the most experienced coaches in Northern Ireland.

After experiencing burnout in New York in my previous career (financial services), I became a coach to help others avoid a similar situation and to live lives that are aligned with their strengths, values and passions.
I have worked with hundreds of leaders in the corporate sector as a leadership development coach and workshop facilitator.

Whether I help clients in either their personal and professional lives, my approach is similar. I guide them to explore the limiting beliefs and unhealed emotions that are holding them back. This helps them to:

• Develop more self-confidence
• Reduce stress and build resilience
• Get clarity on life and career direction
• Understand their life purpose
• Communicate more skilfully to resolve conflicts
• Improve their financial wellbeing

After graduating from Ulster University in 1990, I worked in banking and technology for 12 years in Dublin, Paris, London and New York.

I returned to London from New York in 2002 to train as a coach. My training included NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Hypnosis, and Personality Profiling (MBTI and DISC).
After practising as a life coach until 2005, I returned to the corporate world to offer my services as an Executive Coach. I joined a larger international consultancy where I served as a coach, group facilitator and leadership trainer to corporate clients across UK, Europe and USA.

In 2016, I set up Wiser Working Ltd an award-winning leadership consultancy with a particular expertise in resilience and wellbeing.
I currently offer a combination of corporate and non-corporate services, the latter being exclusively provided through the Belfast Chiropractic Clinic.

I live just outside Belfast with my wife Claire and our two dogs.

In 2025 we acquired the Belfast Chiropractic Clinic with an ambition to provide a wider range of client wellbeing solutions.

Outside of work, I enjoy coastal walks, playing guitar, wood working and playing golf.
