About me
Business Coach for Ambitious, Creative and Multi-Passionate Professionals
I support ambitious, creative, and multi-passionate professionals (including neurodivergent individuals) who feel out of alignment in their work and are ready to build careers that feel clearer, calmer, and more meaningful - without compromising their values, wellbeing, or integrity.
Many of my clients are successful on the outside but internally feel stuck, scattered, or uncertain about their direction. They often describe overthinking, self-doubt, burnout, or a quiet sense that their current role no longer fits who they are becoming.
My work helps you bridge that gap.
Whether you are navigating a career transition, stepping into greater leadership, or trying to refocus your path within your current organisation, I provide a structured yet reflective coaching space to help you gain clarity, rebuild confidence, and take aligned action.
Clients typically come to me when they have lots of ideas but lack focus, or when they are questioning what “success” really looks like for them. Together we turn that complexity into clarity, direction, and practical next steps.
Alongside strategic coaching, I integrate reflective and experiential approaches, including guided visualisation, to help you access deeper clarity and strengthen self-trust. Clients often describe feeling calmer, more grounded, and more certain about their decisions after working with me.
I bring over 20 years of experience in the international art world, where I worked closely with creative professionals navigating complex, non-linear careers. I now combine that experience with over six years of professional coaching practice to support clients through meaningful career development and change.
I am an experienced ICF PCC-credentialed coach, a Certified Mental Fitness Coach, and a Mental Health First Aider.

Testimonials:
"You've made me feel like there is a way forward. The negative self-talk has stopped and I’m feeling much better. I'm sleeping better and my positivity is having a ripple effect on my family. I have better communication with my daughters. You gave me permission to put myself first." Jackie, UK
"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
