Meet the founder:
Candice Black
Clearway is a calm, professional life-coaching space focused on clarity, balance, and forward movement. I help capable, overwhelmed people find clarity, restore balance, and move forward, using a practical framework for real life.
I work in a calm, structured, forward-focused way. We look at where you are, where you want to be, and what needs to change, practically and emotionally, to get you there. No judgement. No pressure. No pretending.
I created Clearway because I kept meeting capable, thoughtful people who were coping well — but felt quietly dissatisfied, stuck, or disconnected from what they really wanted.
They weren’t broken.
They were overloaded, unsure, and had lost clarity.
Clearway offers space to slow down, think clearly, and move forward with intention.
I hold a postgraduate degree in Psychology, specialising in child development and counselling. My training has given me a strong foundation in human behaviour, emotional development, and therapeutic practice. This academic foundation informs my coaching approach, grounding it in evidence-based understanding while allowing space for thoughtful, practical conversation allowing clients to move forward with clarity and steadiness.

Work with me Proven frameworkThe DYLAN framework
Clearway Coaching uses the DYLAN framework – a simple, structured framework to help people regain clarity, balance, and momentum:
D – Define the direction (clarifying what matter now and what your goals are)
Y – Your Energy (understanding how your energy is spent and restored)
L – Limits (identifying internal and external limiting behaviour)
A – Alignment & action (turning insight into realistic, aligned action)
N – Navigate the next right step (moving forward without overwhelm or pressure)
Why DYLAN
I’ll tell you the story of Dylan one day, but he was a real person. Dylan lived life at full speed – always curious, fearless, unconcerned with failure or convention. He trusted himself. He moved forward. He didn’t overthink the next step.
Everyone knows a Dylan. And most of us, somewhere along the way, lose touch with that part of ourselves.
Clearway isn’t about becoming someone new – fearless or reckless. It’s about reconnecting with direction, energy, and momentum in a way that fits real life.
My Philosophy
Why Achievements Don’t Always Feel the Way We Expect
One of the most relevant theories is the idea of hedonic adaptation — sometimes described as the “hedonic treadmill”.
In simple terms, it explains why major life changes — a promotion, a new home, even a long-anticipated achievement — bring a surge of happiness that doesn’t last.
We adapt. The new becomes normal. Expectations rise. And we find ourselves chasing the next thing.
The same happens after difficult events. Over time, emotional intensity settles and a new baseline forms.
This is why so many capable people reach milestones they worked hard for — and then quietly wonder, “Is this it?”
Lasting fulfilment doesn’t come from endlessly upgrading external circumstances.
It comes from meaning, alignment, relationships, growth, and how you engage with your life — not just what you achieve.
Clearway coaching helps people step off the treadmill, reconnect with what matters, and move forward with intention rather than constant striving.
