Selina Barker

Selina Barker is a career and life design coach and author who specialises in helping individuals and organisations move beyond burnout to build sustainable, fulfilling work lives. For nearly twenty years, Selina has worked with professionals who feel stuck, exhausted, or disconnected from their purpose. She has coached clients from Google, Apple, and UN Women, as well as best-selling authors and leaders across tech, finance, and creative industries. Selina wrote Burnt Out: the exhausted person's six-step guide to thriving in a fast-paced world, published in 2021 and translated into multiple languages. She created the Audible original series The Career Change Coach and founded the Project You journals. Her work has appeared in The Telegraph, Independent, Sunday Times Style, BBC, and Stylist. Selina helps people identify what drains their energy and what restores it, then guides them to redesign their work accordingly. She uses practical frameworks like the Five Energy Zones and Burnout Archetypes to help clients understand their patterns and create personalised strategies for lasting change. Her approach turns abstract concepts about wellbeing into concrete actions people can implement immediately, whether they're navigating career transitions, managing stress, or rebuilding after exhaustion. Audiences leave Selina's sessions with specific tools they can use straight away: clarity about their burnout triggers, a personal action plan for protecting their energy, and frameworks for making decisions that align with what truly matters to them. Her style is direct, warm, and focused on practical application rather than theory. Book Selina to give your team the frameworks and confidence they need to stop running on empty and start thriving at work.
