About my Practice

I work 1:1 with senior executives in organisations and individually within the professional services, charities, health, education, and technology sectors to support them with:

  • transitioning into new leadership roles;

  • crystallising their strategy and turning this into real doable actions for them and their team;

  • growing / building their new business or team;

  • finding a balance to their workload;

  • developing into the leader they aspire to be;

  • exploring life transitions such as becoming a parent and retirement.

Benefits include: being more confident; making better business and personal decisions; being more effective with their time, and increase in profit.

I work with groups in organisations such as:

  • internal coaches to develop their coaching skills and practice;

  • learning professionals to build stronger business relationships;

  • partners to build stronger relationships with their colleagues;

  • leadership teams to clarify strategy and team commitment.


I also have experience in designing development programmes for internal coaches and commissioning the design and delivery of leadership and mentoring programmes.

I take a positive approach to my work which means I like my clients to try out different things to find what works for them. I have a good understanding of the challenges people in senior roles face in pressurised environments, both professionally and personally.

I have worked for KPMG UK for over 15 years and have held leadership roles in Coaching, Learning &Development, and Recruitment. I also work with The Performance Coach UK as one of their supervisors supporting people who are training to become coaches.

I am committed to continual professional development and regularly attend workshops relating to leadership and coaching psychology. I also receive regular supervision.
