My coaching practice is grounded in over
three decades of leadership in the
‘helping’ professions. I have led teams
through significant change, supported
individuals with complex needs, and
partnered with a wide range of agencies
across helping sectors. These experiences
have given me deep insight into how
people respond to pressure, transition,
and responsibility—insight I now bring to
my coaching.
As a professionally qualified coach with a
background in counselling and more than
30 years’ experience across the UK, I
support individuals to navigate complex
personal and professional challenges,
particularly persistent issues that
contribute to stress, anxiety, or feeling
stuck. These challenges require space,
reflection, and structured support to
resolve effectively.
My approach is collaborative, practical,
and outcome-focused. I work with clients
to clarify their goals, identify internal and
external barriers, and create sustainable,
realistic plans for progress. Sessions are
designed to build insight, confidence, and
momentum, empowering clients to take
meaningful steps forward.
Throughout my career, I have supported
professionals in high-demand
environments as they navigate role
transitions, organisational change, and
emotionally complex work. I have led
teams through major transformations,
made critical decisions, and collaborated
with partners across a wide range of
social issues. I have also mentored and
trained new practitioners, helping them
recognise and realise their potential.
I bring a grounded understanding of the
challenges faced in public service and
care-focused sectors, and the personal
cost that often comes with responsibility
for others. This perspective enables
individuals to reflect, reconnect with their
values, and build the resilience needed to
thrive.
My coaching focuses on career
development, health and well-being,
personal effectiveness, and creative
growth. I help clients expand their
emotional toolkit—building self-
awareness and flexibility to navigate
change and manage life’s transitions.
My journey began in counselling,
supporting people in crisis. Since
qualifying as a coach in 2010, I have
integrated coaching approaches into my
work, especially in workplace and
organisational contexts. I also support
emerging creatives as they build
confidence and overcome barriers.
Whether you are navigating career
change, personal transitions, or creative
growth, I offer a confidential, reflective,
and structured space for insight and
development. My practice draws on
person-centred counselling, the GROW
model, cognitive behavioural approaches,
and Crucial Conversations.
