About us
Life can feel uncertain - whether you’re making a personal change, leading a team, or guiding an organisation through choppy waters. I coach people and boards who want clarity, steadiness and practical ways forward.
I work with:
- Individuals who want to build confidence, navigate career choices, or make decisions with more ease.
- Boards and senior leaders who need space to think ahead, strengthen governance, and balance risk with opportunity.
My approach is calm, reflective and focused on results. I believe coaching works best when it gives you both insight and action: space to see things differently, and tools to move forward. Clients often say they value the mix of clear thinking and steady support I bring.
I draw on many years of experience as an executive coach, consultant and board member across the third sector, housing and culture. That background means I understand both the personal challenges people face and the strategic pressures leaders carry.
Coaching sessions are tailored to you - whether that’s one-to-one conversations, workshops with your board, or ongoing support. I offer sessions online and in person.
If you’re ready to take stock, explore options and move with confidence, I’d be glad to talk.

I have an ICF Diploma in coaching and I have been coaching for three years. Alongside my professional roles, I’ve served as a Non-Executive Director on a wide range of boards for over 30 years.
