About me

My route into coaching grew from working with different types of people across different roles and sectors. Plus a deep curiosity about how we all experience our work and lives.

I’ve held strategic and operational roles in learning, development and organisational improvement at the University of Cambridge, New Philanthropy Capital, the National Council for Voluntary Youth Services, Relate, Young Lives and Lloyds Bank. At Cambridge I delivered continuous improvement support for teams and individuals to explore and review processes, purpose and objectives resulting in more clarity, alignment and often a renewed sense of direction. 

The breadth of my work has given me a deep view of how organisations function or experience dysfunction. Alongside that I was also drawn to the individual conversations, especially the moments where someone paused, stepped back from the day-to-day, and began to see a situation in a new light, often shifting perspective or developing solutions for themselves and others.

I've seen how easily capable and thoughtful people can find themselves stuck, not because something is 'wrong' with them, but more often than not a mix of self-expectations, environments and ways of working aren't framed or aligned in the right way for them to discover the right way forward. I would find myself having conversations about bringing balance or finding purpose in their role and the wider context of their life in general.

Coaching grew from there.

I started my coaching practice in 2019 and work with clients online and in person. I’m professionally trained with an internationally recognised qualification.

I coach clients across many life stages and work contexts, including those with disabilities, neurodiversity and common mental health challenges, and I continue to develop my practice through supervision and ongoing learning. 

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 that makes sense for them.

That shifts can be small, but this is often where meaningful change begins and where the biggest impact can sometimes be made.

This idea sits quietly underneath everything I do.
