A Place to Pause…  A Place to Think …   A Place to Lead…

At its heart, coaching is a place to pause — a quiet, focused space to think clearly, hear your own voice, and test and challenge your thinking. It’s not about giving answers — it’s about creating the conditions for your best insights to emerge.

In a world of constant demands, coaching offers time to reflect with intention — time to reorient, make decisions with clarity, and lead with more authenticity, courage, and energy.

Coaching is more than my work — it’s my passion, and has been from the very first session I ever led nearly 20 years ago. I still remember the feeling — that sense of this is it. I left my corporate role as Head of Development and Communications soon after and stepped into a completely new career, one that continues to challenge and inspire me every day.

Since then, I’ve worked with leaders across the public and private sectors — including the NHS, Lloyds TSB, the Science Museum Group, and the Department of Health. I hold a Master’s in Coaching and Mentoring from Oxford Brookes University, am a full member of the Association for Coaching, and am trained in a range of approaches including MBTI, Strengthscope, EQi, and the Thinking Environment®.

I continue to invest in my own growth — reading, training, learning — always seeking to deepen my practice. I also believe in coaching from real experience. Returning recently to a corporate team role and starting a not-for-profit from the ground up has reminded me first-hand what it means to lead through change, uncertainty, and growth.

How I coach

The Paradox of Coaching is that we matter because we don’t matter.

I bring presence, curiosity, and structure to every conversation. I’m qualified in the Thinking Environment approach — and this underpins my style. I listen deeply, offer space without interruption, and ask questions that invite clarity and momentum.

Clients describe me as warm, grounded, and gently challenging. I aim to create an environment that feels safe but stretching — where new ideas and honest reflections can emerge and grow.

Working Together

Every coaching relationship starts with a conversation. In our initial call, we’ll explore what you’re looking for, what’s important to you, and whether we’re the right fit to work together. From there, we can shape a coaching programme that suits your needs – whether it’s focused on leadership, transitions, resilience, or a deeper sense of personal alignment.

If you’re ready to create space to think, grow, and lead – I’d love to hear from you.
