About you…
The people I work with are almost always high performers. They’ve built strong careers through capability, commitment and drive.
But at key inflection points – stepping into a bigger leadership role, navigating change, or facing difficult decisions – something can shift. Expectations, responsibility and complexity may increase sharply.
In response, a new way of thinking and operating may be called for.
…taking that bold step
There are certain pivotal moments when you know you need to take a bold step for your career and life to develop and flourish. That could be taking on a new role or project, or a bigger change of direction. Or it might be finding a completely new way to manage existing challenges – so you feel more at ease and in control.
Despite knowing that bold step is needed, you may hesitate – feeling confused or daunted by what lies ahead. Or perhaps you gird your loins and go ahead anyway, but then find yourself overwhelmed or underprepared. Things may seem to be going well enough on the outside. But on the inside, you may doubt yourself and your ability to keep pace with unfolding events.
At these points, the solution lies less in how well you negotiate external factors. Just pushing harder, relying on expertise or keeping everything under control won’t cut it. What’s really needed is a successful internal negotiation – between competing needs, instincts, and expectations inside you. When that happens, a new modus operandi can arise in you – fit for this next stage of your evolution.
About our work together
Leadership inflection points can feel lonely. As responsibility grows, opportunities for honest reflection often diminish.
Coaching with me provides a structured, confidential space to step back, explore openly and reconnect with your judgement—so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
Together, we untangle competing demands and notice the habits and assumptions shaping your decisions. We work through your inner negotiation, helping you act in line with your values and turn insight into meaningful change.
I also work with senior leadership teams through The Inside Track to Leadership. Shaped around your organisation’s needs, it brings the same depth and practical focus into a shared setting, helping colleagues strengthen relationships, think clearly and act together.
About me
A fascination with people - how we think, make sense of experience and flourish - first led me to study Classics & Philosophy, then via communications and project management to coaching, mediation and mindfulness.
Over time, I’ve come to understand my role as helping people become more fully themselves. Clarity, confidence, resilience and presence emerge as we understand ourselves more deeply and respond more wisely to the situations we face.
Alongside coaching, I’m a qualified mindfulness trainer and author of The ABC Guide to Mindfulness. I have designed and delivered mindfulness-based programmes for leaders and senior professionals across financial services, law, housing, the public sector and academia. This experience informs my work with individuals and teams, connecting deeper awareness with practical changes in working life.
Like many of my clients, I’ve faced crossroads and made bold moves. Coaching helped me find clarity and act with confidence—and that experience continues to inform how I work.
