Hello!

Before training and certifying as a coach, I spent 15 years in communications. A world of relentless workload, shifting priorities and bipolar mood changes. Deadlines and coffee fuel creativity and stress in equal measure. Where you’re always on, and the work is never really done.

​

When demands come from all sides, I know it’s easy to feel the weight of responsibility without always having the autonomy, clarity or certainty you need to deliver what’s expected.  Mergers and restructures are never far away.  So you learn to live with ambiguity, and operate in a perpetual state of insecurity, and to keep going even as the ground keeps shifting.

​

But the cost on you, is high.

That's the experience that led me to coaching.

​

I work with senior leaders in high-pressure roles because I understand, from the inside, what it’s like to lead at pace while carrying a heavy cognitive and emotional load. And I know how quickly your clarity and unique perspective can become eroded when the world around you keeps accelerating. It won't stop, but you can learn to deal with it better.

​

My belief is simple: coaching is an antidote to a world that moves faster than humans can think.

Coaching creates the pause that modern leadership rarely allows. It offers you space to slow down, step back and finally think properly again.

​

I bring calm, perspective and pattern-recognition to our work together, alongside a wide range of psychological frameworks and mental health-informed training. Tools are used thoughtfully and intuitively, always in service of insight and judgement, not as an end in themselves. I’ll offer reflections, questions and ideas as input, but I won’t tell you what to do. The aim is to strengthen your thinking, not to replace it.

​

What clients often experience having worked with me is a shift from feeling buffeted by events, to leading with more control, clarity and ease. Not because the pressure disappears, but because they’re better equipped to meet it.

This is a confidential thinking partnership for leaders who want to stay steady in a changing world – and lead well without taking the weight of the role everywhere they go.
