About me
I’m a women’s coach specialising in self-esteem, confidence and personal development, supporting women through the emotional and psychological demands of modern life. My work particularly focuses on women navigating motherhood, parenting, mental load, identity shifts, stress and overwhelm.
As a mum of two myself, I understand first-hand the complexity of balancing multiple roles and responsibilities. I’ve also experienced challenges with self-worth, depression and imposter syndrome, which have shaped both my perspective and the way I support the women I work with.
I'm also personally familiar with the experience of ADHD, which gives me an additional understanding of some of the challenges women can face around focus, overwhelm, motivation and managing everyday demands
Many of the women I support are capable and high-functioning on the outside, but internally feel stretched, mentally exhausted or disconnected from themselves. They may be juggling careers, motherhood, relationships and family responsibilities while struggling with confidence, motivation or a sense of direction. They often feel they should be coping better, even when they are carrying an enormous amount.
As a women's coach for the last six years and a trainee psychotherapist, I’m particularly interested in the psychology behind why we think, feel and behave the way we do. My approach combines coaching, behavioural psychology and therapeutic thinking to help women develop greater self-awareness, strengthen self-esteem, build confidence and make meaningful, sustainable changes.
Together, we might explore patterns such as people pleasing, low self-worth, perfectionism, difficulty setting boundaries, anxiety around expectations and the impact of chronic stress and mental load. Rather than focusing on quick fixes or surface-level motivation, I help women understand what may be keeping them stuck and find ways to move forward that feel realistic and lasting.
Alongside my coaching work, I also work as a workplace wellbeing specialist, supporting individuals and organisations to better understand mental health, stress and emotional wellbeing in professional environments. This gives me an additional perspective on the challenges women can face when balancing their careers, relationships and family life.
A key part of my work is normalising the realities of modern motherhood and womanhood, particularly the experiences that are often felt but not spoken about. I aim to create a compassionate, non-judgemental space where women feel understood and supported to explore their experiences.
Whether you're struggling with self-esteem, feeling overwhelmed by parenting and family life, navigating a change in identity or simply wanting to invest in your personal development, coaching can offer a space to understand yourself more deeply and move towards a life that feels more aligned with who you are.
