About me
I work with people who are deeply committed to their work but have little time and space for making important decisions about their future.
My coaching creates this space and time. I help you to see the obstacles and untangle any complexities holding you back and make the steps to move forward.
As a qualified executive and leadership coach I have over 30 years’ experience as an educator, humanitarian leader and consultant. I have worked alongside individuals, teams and organisations in complex and difficult scenarios and understand how difficult it can be working with uncertainty.
My coaching is also informed by higher level executive coaching credentials. I also hold qualifications in psychology, leadership.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a certified coach drawing on a professional background in psychology, education, leadership and international development. I hold additional, specialist coaching qualifications.
My coaching combines evidence-based practice with over 30 years' experience supporting individuals, teams and organisations to learn, develop and navigate change.
Before qualifying as a coach, I spent much of my career working in international development and the humanitarian field. My work involved designing and leading programmes (and their teams!), coaching and mentoring, supporting leadership-development and a whole range of capacity-building/training/education initiatives. I came to understand the incredible rewards - but also the pressures and cost of careers dedicating yourself to your work.
Today I work with professionals looking for a space to reflect, grow and make thoughtful decisions about their work and future.
Alongside my professional practice, I volunteer as a coach with Smart Works and the Humanitarian Coaching Network and other smaller, more local groups.
