About me

---

My route into coaching has been shaped by working with a range of people in different roles, organisations and sectors over the course of my career - and a curiosity about how people experience their work and lives.

I've held strategic and operational roles across learning, development and organisational improvement in corporate, charities and higher education settings. I spent much of my time helping teams improve how they work - looking at skills, processes, and ways of doing things. 

All of this has given me a broad view of how organisations and teams function or experience dysfunction.

Alongside that I was always drawn to the individual conversations. The moments where someone paused, stepped back from the day-to-day, and began to see a challenging situation in a new light - often shifting perspective or finding the right solution for themselves.

I've seen how easily capable and thoughtful people can find themselves stuck - not because something is 'wrong' with them, but because of expectations, environments and ways of working. Often I would find myself having conversations about bringing balance or finding purpose.

Coaching grew from there.

I started my coaching practice in 2019 and have worked with clients across a range of sectors, situations and contexts.

Alongside my coaching work, I continue to work or volunteer in organisational settings, which keeps me closely connected to the realities of working life and the pressures people navigate within and outside of work in their day-to-day lives.

I hold a recognised professional coaching qualification and continue to develop my practice through supervision and ongoing development.

What I value most in coaching is the moment when something becomes clearer for the client, not because I've provided an answer, but because they have been able to see their own situation differently - and from there, begin to find their own way forward.

That shift can be small, but it's often where meaningful change begins - and where the biggest impact can sometimes be made.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

This idea sits quietly underneath everything I do.
