About

How I Got Here

My journey into coaching wasn’t linear. After experiencing toxic corporate environments and burnout, I found coaching as a tool for my own personal growth. That experience was transformative and it sparked a passion for helping others overcome similar struggles in their careers and lives. I believe the power of coaching lies in its ability to bring clarity, focus and resilience and that’s exactly what I strive to offer every client I work with.

What I Specialise In

I help individuals, especially those in leadership positions, to tackle the challenges that come with growth and development. Some of the areas I specialise in include:

• Leadership Development: Helping you build leadership skills and become a more impactful leader
• Overcoming Imposter Syndrome: Empowering you to recognise your worth and build confidence
• Career Advancement: Providing the tools and strategies to help you achieve your career goals
• Confidence Building: Supporting you in developing a positive mindset and self-assurance

My Experience and Credentials

With over 25 years of experience in leadership and executive coaching, I hold a Level 7 qualification in Executive Coaching and Mentoring and am a Fellow of the Institute of Leadership. These credentials are a reflection of my dedication to providing high-quality coaching grounded in the latest leadership strategies.

I’ve worked with professionals in both commercial organisations and the NHS, helping them overcome challenges, develop leadership skills and achieve career success. My extensive background means I understand the unique pressures and demands of leadership roles, enabling me to offer tailored support that truly makes a difference.

I also mentor young people at the YMCA in Plymouth and serve as a Trustee for The Zone, helping guide the charity’s strategic direction so young people have access to the resources, guidance and opportunities they need to thrive.

When you work with me, you’re not just getting a coach—you’re getting a partner in your professional growth. I understand the pressures of leadership and career progression, having navigated similar challenges myself. Together, we’ll work through the roadblocks, set actionable goals, and develop the mindset and strategies you need to excel.
