About me

With 20+ years experience in the international Art world, I support ambitious and creative types who want to achieve success without comprising their values and integrity so they can feel joy, purpose, and fulfilment in their personal and professional lives.  

Do you feel a sense of unease in your work? Or face self-doubt? or are multi-passionate with countless ideas? I’m here to help you design a career you feel proud of and confident in.

Through our work, we’ll delve into what truly matters to you, identify your unique gifts, and explore what motivates you, enhancing your confidence and courage to take action. I’ll be your accountability partner, helping you craft a 1-year and 5-year plan that aligns with your aspirations.

I began my coaching practice in 2020, inspired by my extensive mentoring of artists navigating challenges. Realising my strength in supporting others, I pursued formal training, merging my innate abilities with professional skills to create a deeply fulfilling career.

I’m also a coach trainer, equipping leaders and managers with coaching skills to foster impactful, growth-oriented conversations. My experience spans targeted support across all business levels, having collaborated with professionals from 100+ companies globally.

I hold an accredited diploma in transformational coaching from Animas, am ACC-credentialed by the ICF, a certified Mental Fitness Coach, and a mental health first aider.

I also coach teenagers and conduct career-focused workshops at my local high school to help young people make informed decisions with confidence.

When not coaching or training, I cherish time with my family and my dog, Monty. I love sea swimming, traveling, and entertaining.

 "Exploring career transition with Vanessa has been hugely beneficial for me, boosting my self confidence and giving me a clear path ahead to the holy grail of work life balance. It has also provided an invaluable set of tools and techniques that I can continue to call on" Anna Ashcroft, UK

"Vanessa helped me reframe a challenging concept of reward, so I was able to discover what I need to stay motivated. I brought a confusing question and she untangled my thinking so I was able to find the solution tailored to my needs. I can't recommend her enough. Each session is such an epiphany and allows me to take actionable steps to improve my life. The quality of my life has skyrocketed since we started working together. Can't recommend enough!"  anonymous, Vita Mojo, London    

 "I’ve really noticed the difference in my life since working with Vanessa, I’ve pushed myself like I’ve never done before. This work has given me clarity of mind, strength, reassurance, a sense of calm and direction. You’ve made a real difference to my life"   anonymous, T. Rowe Price, London
 
Having never undertaken 1:1 coaching before, I could not have had a better introduction! I enjoyed every minute of the sessions, as a result, I have been offered a new job having spent some considerable time applying without success, in no small part due to Vanessa helping me to re-focus and re-assess values and aspirations. Thank you! Nicky Benn, Scotland
