About me

I’m a holistic, person‑centred coach who supports people through moments of overwhelm, uncertainty, and change. My work is grounded in calm, clarity, and compassion, creating a space where you can breathe, untangle what’s been weighing on you, and reconnect with your sense of direction.

Clients often come to me when they feel stuck or disconnected from themselves. Together, we explore what’s really going on beneath the surface, gently uncovering patterns, pressures, and possibilities. My approach is steady and spacious, helping you move from “I don’t know where to start” to “I can see my next step.”

I believe coaching should feel safe, human, and supportive - never rushed or pressured. I meet you exactly where you are, with curiosity and care, and walk alongside you as you find your footing again.

Whether you’re navigating workplace challenges, emotional load, burnout, or simply a sense that something needs to shift, I offer a grounded space to pause, reflect, and move forward in a way that feels aligned and manageable.

Training, qualifications & experience

I bring many years of experience supporting people through overwhelm, workplace pressure, and emotionally demanding situations. My background in the NHS, working in both clinical and leadership roles, has shaped my calm, steady approach to holding space for others.

Alongside my professional experience, my coaching is deeply informed by my own lived experience of navigating overwhelm and periods of uncertainty. I understand what it’s like to lose your footing, and how powerful it can be to have a safe, grounded space to find your way back.

I bring many years of experience supporting people through emotionally demanding situations, both in coaching and in my previous NHS career. My background in clinical practice and leadership has shaped the way I hold space, calm, steady, and grounded - especially for those navigating overwhelm, lacking confidence, workplace pressure, conflict, or uncertainty.

Alongside my professional experience, I’ve trained in approaches that deepen self‑awareness, communication, and personal growth.

My qualifications include:

  • BSc Honours Occupational Therapy, giving me a strong foundation in holistic, person‑centred practice
  • Leadership training, supporting my work with individuals facing workplace challenges or organisational stress
  • NLP Practitioner training, helping clients understand patterns, beliefs, and internal responses
  • DISC profiling training, offering insight into communication styles and behavioural tendencies

My coaching is grounded, human, and practical, offering a safe space to pause, reflect, and move forward one step at a time.
