About me
Regain your Focus & Unlock your Best Self with Career, Life & Return to Work Coaching.
As an ICF accredited and NLP qualified coach I offer relaxed, non-judgemental Coaching sessions underpinned by 20+ yrs HR expertise. I help people find the clarity and confidence to be their best selves personally or professionally supporting with:
✨Navigating career or life decisions (inc CV / interviews support)
✨Building your blueprint with clarity on strengths, values and purpose
✨Identifying and diminishing limiting beliefs (inc Timeline therapy) ✨Burnout prevention or recovery
✨Exploring your mindset (perfectionism / imposter syndrome / confidence)
✨Preparing for/returning from Maternity or Parental leave ✨Getting to the root of issues and kickstarting action
….……and lots more!
With professional memberships with the Association for Coaching & International Coaching Federation. I’m highly committed to continuous learning and professional development. I’m currently training as a Hypnotherapist & Psychotherapeutic Counsellor to enrich the coaching sessions I offer.
I offer coaching on a by hour basis or through one of my individual coaching programmes.
Training, qualifications & experience
As well as an ICF accredited coach, I’m a highly experienced HR professional having worked in a range of HR and Talent roles in large global corporates for +20 yrs. Coaching others to unlock their potential has been core to these roles and has always been my passion.
I understand the context, complexities (and politics) of the corporate world and bring a unique blend of HR expertise to my coaching by understanding HR policy and it’s application, personal development practices, recruitment (I can therefore support with CV / interview work) and building confidence. I’m experienced supporting individuals with career transitions, preparing for/returning from parental leave, addressing mindset barriers, returning to work and flexible working.
My coaching style is relaxed, empathetic and non-judgemental…always. I place well-being at the core of sessions and adopt a person led approach whilst gently challenging you towards a practical way forward. Clients describe my coaching style as natural, gently challenging but able to help you to find solutions you may not otherwise have found on your own.
