If any of the following resonate for you, then you're in the right place...

• At a career crossroads, feeling drained or stuck, unsure what’s next
• Stepping up or into a leadership role, wanting to succeed & thrive
• Facing personal challenges and wanting something different. 

Change is most sustainable when you have a Coach fully in your corner, offering you counsel, compassion and gentle challenge. For it is only at the edges of our comfort zones, that we find the newness and growth we are seeking.

I combine practical coaching, business acumen and psychological insight to help people build confidence, resilience and clarity, enabling them to thrive without compromising their wellbeing. 

I offer:

• 1-month of no-frills rapid coaching (from £333)
• Personal Coaching programmes (6 weeks to 6 months | from £444)
• Mid-career Leadership Coaching programmes (3 to 4 months | from £870)

The listed price is what you pay. No VAT or hidden costs.
15% discount for charities, social ventures & returning individual clients.

I've walked the walk. I’ve successfully changed careers four times, taken sabbaticals, and navigated more of life’s curveballs than I care to recall. I’ve spent 25+ years working with people in tech, HR, business operations and leadership roles, up to and including Board level. And been immersed in psychological enquiry for almost as long.  And because integrity matters to me, I’ve trained extensively. This mix means I understand professional pressures, the machinations of the working world, and the psychology of why we do the things we do. 

Coaching is an active, collaborative and transformative process. What you bring is explored with curiosity. What you gain is an expanded understanding of yourself, clarity around your challenges, and importantly, practical next steps.

• make the most of your current role, without making any big moves.
• handle work-related anxiety, work-life balance, confidence, organisation and workplace relationships.

Leadership Coaching can help you to

• explore the alignment between your values, strength and work
• map out your career and learning roadmaps and actions

How I work:
I employ coaching and assessment techniques and tools (including Hogan). Fuelled by a plethora of business and psychology training and experience. And informed by 20+ years of leading teams, 10+ years of Executive/Senior Leadership, and Board experience with technology and charitable organisations.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT COACHING

Maybe you want to start something new.
Maybe you’re trying to understand yourself.
Maybe you have an important decision to make.
Maybe you’re navigating a life stage or transition.
Maybe you just know something needs to change.
Maybe you’re facing a difficult person or situation.
Maybe you’re stuck in between places, jobs or people.
Maybe you’re in the midst of uncertainty and confusion.
Maybe you can't put your finger on what you need, but you'd like to explore what might be possible and what you need to do.

I help Individuals navigate Transitions, Decisions, and Challenges. This includes Confidence, Anxiety, Relationships, Self-Doubt, Burnout, Motivation, and Neurodiversity (ADHD). 

What you gain from coaching is:

• Clarity on your personal values, how your life and work meet them, and where attention is needed.
• Clarity of your current challenges, transitions and decisions
• Definition around where your want to be and how to get there
• Awareness of patterns, beliefs and blind spots that are getting in your way.
• Tools, techniques and different ways of being and doing.
• Actions, every single session, to move you forward
• A Road Map of your next steps.

My Approach

My approach is integrative, drawing from a selection of coaching techniques and psychological modalities.

I believe coaching, at its most ethical, is an act of service. And so:

• I collaborate with you to tailor coaching sessions to your needs.
• I coach actively with compassion, championing and gentle challenge.
• I offer observations, invite reflection, and ask questions to help you navigate blocks and move towards what is meaningful for you.
• I trust in your abilities and agency.
• I hold space for you, your challenges and your needs.

Multiple small steps lead to sustainable change.
