About me

With over 26 years of leadership across the cultural sector, as a teacher, performer, project collaborator, director and mentor and 10 years’ experience in fundraising, strategy and partnership building, I bring a deeply human, creative and care-centred approach to coaching. My practice is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves space to be heard, understood and supported as they grow a space that feels safe to explore, play and imagine new futures.

Drawing on decades of experience in inclusive practice, facilitation and leadership, my coaching blends embodied awareness, reflective inquiry and strengths-based development. I create a collaborative, non-judgemental environment where clients can gain clarity, build confidence and make decisions that align with who they are and the impact they want to have.

Whether you’re navigating creative leadership, personal or professional transitions, burnout, confidence, boundaries or purpose in your work, I offer a compassionate yet robust space that prioritises wellbeing, agency and meaningful change.

If you’re feeling stuck, demotivated or simply asking yourself “What now?” or "What next?", get in touch.

Let’s work together to strengthen your leadership, deepen your self-understanding of who you are and unlock your full potential.
