About me
Hello and Welcome.
I wonder if you have landed here because you are seeking meaningful change? Perhaps you are feeling stuck, have outgrown something in your present life, or want to step into something new?
Maybe your job is no longer fulfilling, or you long for a different way of working, or your ambition needs channeling. Maybe you are itching to take on a more senior role but are uncertain as to how to approach it. Maybe you want to enhance your existing leadership approach, start a business or leap into a whole new career.
Maybe beyond work you're feeling out of step with those around you. Maybe you are seeking a new community or considering a big move to a brand new location. Maybe you want to travel the world. or perhaps just work on your confidence.
Maybe you can't put your finger on what it is you need but you'd like to explore possibilities and figure things out.
I'm Donna - a qualified, accredited and insured Coach - and I thrive on helping others rise up, expand and flourish. I can help you deepen your self-knowledge and move towards bolder, braver and brighter experiences.

Training, qualifications & experience
Prior to becoming a Coach, my career adventuring led me from Technical positions (Electrical Engineer, Software Engineer) through Organisational (Project/Delivery Manager, Programme Director) to Senior Leadership roles (People & Portfolio Manager, Head of Business Operations & People) with Board accountability. As a result I am well versed in leadership, business operations, governance, project delivery, team dynamics and people (HR) practices.
I have worked with/for start-ups, volunteering and environmental charitable trusts, creative and digital agencies, local authorities, central government, public bodies, plus media, gaming, technology and energy companies - across the UK, America, Europe, Australia, and Asia.
I hold a Diploma in Transformative Coaching, am a member of the ICF and an accredited Senior Practitioner with the EMCC. As well as two degrees (Engineering with German; English Literature with Creative Writing), I have various Business and Psychology certifications / qualifications.
Perhaps it is obvious - I love learning! - and I undertake regular CPD.

Further information
My style of coaching is person-centred and informed by humanistic psychology. I trust that at some level you know what you need, and part of my role is to help you bring that to the surface, so that you can see it for yourself. Whilst I may offer suggestions, or adopt mentoring practices, I do not give instructions.
I believe coaching at its most ethical, is an act of service. And so:
- I will partner with you to tailor each coaching session to your needs.
- I will coach actively with compassion, championing and challenge.
- I will hold space for you to explore whatever has brought you to coaching.
- I will offer observations, invite reflection, and ask questions to help you navigate blocks and move towards what is meaningful for you.
- I trust will in your abilities and agency.
I believe multiple small steps lead to sustainable change. And that this philosophy applies as much in work as it does in our personal lives.
It can be hard to see ourselves clearly. This is why working with a Coach (or mentor, therapist, guide, colleague, friend....) can be so helpful.
