HOW I WORK
My aim is to help you feel energised,
equipped and empowered to act
I am here to help you reconnect with your passion and pursue it.
My coaching approach is active and outcome-focused. I will work with you to create a safe space where you feel able to explore what’s going on for you, your ideas and fears and recognise how we can productively challenge your thinking.
I will listen - both to what’s said and what’s not being said - and ask questions. And we will work together to answer those really difficult questions – questions you know you need to tackle but have been avoiding – looking below the surface to unearth underlying issues that may be holding you back.
My aim is to help you find solutions that bring you...
Insight - to realise your true potential, identify what energises you and makes you remarkable.
​
Confidence - to recognise who you are, express what you offer, feel empowered to act and make it happen.
​
Courage - to seek your own path, use your own voice and influence your direction.
​
Presence – to ensure you feel seen and heard.

"I work with curiosity, warmth and humour, what one of my clients described as, ‘a reassuring but probing’ style. Listening to my clients with empathy is important, as is helping them find the courage to look deeply for answers. I am candid but kind, approachable and pragmatic in order to help my clients find solutions."
My story
My own career journey and the challenges I faced were, like for so many of us, complicated. I had to strive to find my path and work hard to develop my voice and professional presence. What I discovered about myself led me to a career in coaching, something that I am passionate about sharing. The energy that this passion gives me drives me to help people like you work out what you want, why you want it and how to achieve it.
I’ve successfully changed careers three times, including a career change at 40, which, combined with studies in psychology, change management and organisational development, inspired me to launch Career Therapy, and to specialise in career coaching for women.
​
My professional background involves over 20 years of public and private sector work where I’ve helped countless individuals and businesses define and achieve success for themselves. The theme of that work has always been helping people grow and find the most effective solutions for them.
The experience I’ve gained has been invaluable in understanding how to build trusting relationships which means I am able to build trust quickly and flex my approach to suit your style and way of working. My aim is to enable you to define what success looks like specifically for you.
