About Me

I work with women of all ages as a thinking partner, as they explore making changes in their lives, work, and wellbeing.

This can be in relation to any area of life and work, however I bring particular experience in working with women who are emerging from a difficult time with their emotional or physical health, burnout, stress or feelings of overwhelm.

I also enjoy working with women who want to explore their unfulfilled potential, talents and dreams and feel ready to think about how these can be brought to life.  

In my professional life, I have a 25 year background in the public & voluntary sectors in fundraising, communications and in the creation & development of grass roots support and services.

My experience as a founder and CEO of a perinatal mental health charity, has given me insight, knowledge and empathy into the highs and lows of the journey of building and exiting a business, and I can offer thinking space for leaders who may be on a similar path.

My own experience of coaching

I experienced coaching first hand after a 25 year career in the public & voluntary sectors including over a decade leading a women's mental health organisation I had founded. I was looking to make some big changes but was physically and mentally burnt out, overwhelmed and lacked the clarity I needed to move forward and the vision to see what was possible.

The coach I worked with was able to facilitate a gentle and reflective space for me, where I could step away from everything, enabling me see a way forward and start taking the actions I needed to get there.  Addressing barriers and setting goals was an important part of this, however equally important was being able to think about my whole self, how I felt and how I wanted to feel in the future.

This was transformative for me and left me with such a strong belief in the power of coaching that I decided to study for a Diploma in Transformative Coaching with Animas, accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF).

I now love working with women as they explore the changes they want to make, the way they want to feel and the new possibilities that lie ahead for them.
