About me
The people I work with aren’t new to pressure.
They’ve spent years in leadership roles or high-performance environments. They’ve achieved a lot. But something still feels off.
Maybe it’s burnout that won’t shift, no matter how many holidays you take. A quiet frustration with your role, your boss, your team, or your own limits. Or a sense that you’ve outgrown your success, but don’t know what comes next.
That’s where our work begins.
This isn’t about giving you another to-do list or hyping you up with mindset mantras. It’s about creating the space to get honest.
To slow down enough to hear what’s really going on. To go beyond the surface thoughts and feelings and uncover the root. To work out what you actually want - and what’s in the way of you having it.
My clients often tell me our work is the first place they’ve been able to drop the performative BS and see clearly again.
I’m direct, no-nonsense, and totally committed to coaching you to creating the practical, tangible, and valuable shifts that matter to you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I bring over two decades of experience leading teams, mentoring individuals, and developing people-first cultures and systems in both manufacturing and service industries. I’ve also spent the last decade running a successful coaching and consulting practice - supporting professionals to navigate pressure, reconnect with clarity, and lead more effectively - and helping organisations to reimagine their structures, systems, and strategies to stop breaking their people.
I blend operational experience with psychological insight, and cut through the noise to get to what’s actually driving (or blocking) performance for you and/or your people.
Professional Memberships, Training & Credentials include:
- Institute of Leadership (IoL) Member
