About me
What's made you read this page today?
Are you longing for things to change and don't know where to start? You want to increase your confidence or change your career? Perhaps you've been going through tough times, post-covid lowness, you want to change jobs, plan for your retirement, been diagnosed with an illness and want to stay at work, other major life changes...?
All these things can affect your confidence, motivation and sense of wellbeing and then it becomes hard to imagine living the life you really want.
Coaching with me will help you become more confident, make career changes, life well with illness, get that new job - whatever your age!
I can work with you on living well with neuro diversity, finding meaning in illness, starting that business, moving towards your dreams.
We will unpack what's getting in the way, and plan how to overcome the barriers. I will guide and help you create the life you want to have.
If you doubt that you deserve change....
Sometimes there's a little voice inside that's telling you you really want to change but you're habitually dialling it down quieter; or if you're avoiding the excitement of adventure because you feel you don't deserve it? Or maybe you're scared, your imposter syndrome and lost confidence shout really loud; or you're living with limiting beliefs that tell you you're not good enough....
Then work with me and I can help you turn up the volume so you can hear what your inner voice is telling you, and know your own capacities and skills.
It's so true that not listening to your deepest desires is really costly to your self-esteem and your courage, it increases anxiety and depletes your energy and purpose.
The great news is that I can help you move away from all this, and help you shift from wherever you are now to where you want to get to.
I can help you thrive and flourish and you'll gain loads of energy, and a sense of purpose, of confidence, of going in the direction that matters to you.
How I coach
- You'll find me kind, warm, supportive, empathic, and easy to talk to and I won't judge you.
- I'm your thinking partner and your strongest supporter. I walk alongside you on your change-journey.
- Together we will create a safe space where you can think and feel and voice your wishes, however unsure you feel about them.
- I will encourage and challenge you to dig deeper and dream bigger, so that you can discover your passion and purpose in life, and plan for how to bring it into reality.
- You'll learn about yourself, and take new self-awareness and techniques away with you to use long after coaching sessions have finished. It's your personal development journey.
- Speaking personally, coaching helped me discover a new career path for myself when I was at a low ebb with work and illness, so I know first hand just how powerful it can be. And in fact that's why I decided to train as a coach myself.
- I hold professional and personal values of Empathy, Professionalism, Integrity and Support.
- I work to the code of ethics of the Association for Coaching. I undertake regular supervision and ongoing learning through CPD.
- In practical terms, I coach mostly online.

Other areas of coaching I deal with
Crisis, life being dull, illness and long-term health condition support
When life is difficult we are faced with an opportunity as well as a huge challenge in coping. It's often a time when we question what's most important. For myself, when facing illness and cancer, I recognised a new opportunity to change and work in the ways that I felt passionate about - just in case life is short. So I have first hand experience of handling crisis, illness, change and growth, which underpins my work and my sense of empathy to help others with their moments of growth and change.
I am able to offer specialist support with the following.
- cancer, fatigue, living with long term illness
- workplace support for people going back to work and needing adjustments
- handling news about cancer in your workplace
- Recognising what's most important, finding new ways of living your best life.
- retirement planning
- self care and wellbeing plans, coping strategies
- Rediscovering your energy after fatigue or burnout
- helping with anxiety, neuro diversity, carers.
- Lining up for your new career!
Practical skills and experiences of coping strategies to build resilience and support anxiety including relaxation sessions, visualisation exercises, holistic/ wellbeing approach and self care plans, tools for anxiety and stress
Give me a call to discuss next steps towards gaining confidence, direction, purpose, new career, greater wellbeing and life satisfaction.
