About me
I coach professionals in their 40s, 50s and 60s who feel stuck in their current career to design a new work strategy that is fulfilling, purposeful and joyful, on their terms
Does this sound familiar?
- You’ve built a successful career but the company culture has shifted, no longer aligning with your values
- You are tired of corporate politics and can’t imagine staying in this role for another year let alone another decade
- Self-doubt creeps in “Who will employ me at my age?” “What if I make the wrong move?”
- Despite your unhappiness, stepping off feels like losing a part of your identity, which is pretty scary.
- Exhaustion makes it hard to think about planning your exit, leaving you overwhelmed and stuck
- Fear of losing a corporate salary adds to your sense of overwhelm
- Experiencing a period of significant change in your life has triggered thoughts about your future
- You're nearing a comfortable retirement but not ready to step back and want to use your skills and talents for something meaningful that fits your lifestyle. With a bigger dream in mind, you're looking to create a plan to achieve it
Here’s how I can help you

Kind Words From Previous Clients
"I wasn’t sure what to expect and how much help the sessions would be, but I genuinely feel better about myself and about my future as a result. I realise now that I have been forcing myself to follow the wrong career for the wrong reasons and beating myself up when I fell short of my own high standards. The answer was to tap into my inner passions and motivations and listen to what they had to say" - Peter, 52 UK
I felt stuck in my career with no hope of making progress. I put this down to the structure of the organisation I was working for as well the people I directly worked for. Coaching made me realise that no organisation or individual was responsible for my career. Whether I made progress or not came down to me and my mindset. I learnt how to ask myself the right questions at anytime I felt stuck. More importantly I learnt how to deal with my inner critic. At the end of six coaching sessions I had, not only did I make a move in my career but my mindset was also in the right place" -Ronald, 39 UK
doesn't work out I can always go back to caring. But at least I will have tried." - Diana 62 UK

- I live in North East London, a lapsed PADI Scuba Diving Instructor and diver, lover of the outdoors, comedy, music and a reluctant lockdown runner.
I coach using the Co-Active integrated model (grounded in the science of positive psychology) which focuses on both who we are (being) and what we do (doing) and the inevitable connection between the two, a sense of wholeness. To experience life as whole, action must be grounded in being, in our sense of connection to a larger wholeness
