Are you questioning your next career step, finding leadership demanding, or feeling stretched by work and responsibility?

You may be considering a career change, facing redundancy, returning to work or taking on a new role.  Perhaps you are performing well but doubting yourself, struggling to switch off, or wondering whether your current way of working is sustainable. 

I help professionals and leaders understand what needs to change, recognise their strengths and make practical decisions about what comes next.

Together we can work on career direction, confidence, leadership, boundaries and the expectations you place on yourself.  There is room to explore how you speak to yourself, what you need and what is realistic for your current circumstances.

Who I work with:

I support professionals, leaders and individuals navigating career changes, leadership challenges and important personal transitions.  Together, we build the confidence, clarity and capability needed to move forward.

I support professionals, leaders and individuals who want to:

·       Navigate career change, redundancy or a return to work

·       Strengthen confidence and self-belief

·       Develop their leadership and self-leadership

·       Manage stress, pressure and uncertainty

·       Make clear and confident decisions

·       Improve boundaries and work-life balance

·       Reconnect with their strengths, values and sense of direction

·       Create a purposeful next chapter

About Me:

I am an executive, leadership and career coach, consultant, lecturer and therapist. I bring over 30 years of experience across education, leadership, wellbeing and professional development.

My approach draws on coaching psychology, positive psychology, leadership development and evidence-informed practice. I combine thoughtful reflective enquiry with practical tools to help you build confidence, connection and capability.

I offer a supportive and constructive space where you can examine your current situation, explore what is holding you back and make decisions aligned with what matters to you. 

How we work together:

Your coaching will reflect your circumstances, priorities and goals.

Together, we may explore:

·       What you want to change and why it matters

·       Your strengths, values and existing capabilities

·       Patterns or assumptions affecting your confidence

·       The pressures shaping your decisions

·       New possibilities for your career or leadership

Together, we identify practical next steps that fit your capacity and circumstances.  Where helpful, I use assessment tools to support reflection on your strengths and development needs. 

I offer online coaching to clients in the UK and internationally, and in-person sessions in Bath.

I also support leaders, teams and organisations through coaching, leadership development, learning design, workshops and consultancy.
