About me
You are likely here because you are already capable and driven, yet you’ve hit a plateau or a pace of life that no longer feels sustainable. Perhaps you’re navigating the complexities of senior leadership, considering a significant career pivot, or simply feeling that the life you’ve built no longer reflects who you are today.
Whether you are looking for professional progression or a deeper sense of personal balance, I provide a calm, structured space to help you step back from the daily noise.
My approach is rooted in a strong background in HR and specialist neuro-inclusive coaching, ensuring that the strategies we build are practical, effective, and, most importantly, aligned to who you are.

Areas of coaching I deal with
Other areas of coaching I deal with
Self-discovery is a core element of my coaching, providing the clarity needed to make informed, intentional changes. To support this, I offer optional, evidence-based tools that can be integrated into our work together to provide a more objective view of your strengths:
- DISC Profiling: As a certified practitioner, I use this psychometric tool to help you understand your natural behavioural style, management preferences, and communication strengths. It is particularly effective for those looking to improve workplace relationships or lead teams more effectively.
- 360-Feedback: This process gathers perspectives from peers, managers, and direct reports to offer a holistic view of your leadership presence. It is a powerful way to celebrate your strengths, identify "blind spots," and develop a targeted strategy for professional growth.
These tools are not "tests," but rather springboards for our sessions, enhancing your self-awareness and providing a clear data point for your development.
