I specialise in coaching career changers. I use a warm, supportive, encouraging style combined with an evidence-based process. I offer clarity and a sense of purpose at every stage of the career transition.
I specialise in coaching career changers. I use a warm, supportive, encouraging style combined with an evidence-based process. I offer clarity and a sense of purpose at every stage of the career transition.
After more than 20 years of experience in the Arts & Creative Industry, I found myself stuck and lost in a career that was no longer my passion. So I understand first-hand the pain, uncertainty and fear that can come with changing your career path.
Drawing on my own experience as well as a tried and tested framework and tools, I coach women in their 30s & 40s who struggle to recognise their own abilities and achievements.
I have an inside-out approach and offer 1:1 online coaching programmes from one month to 6 months engagement to help women to go from lost and unhappy to having clarity and confidence in their career path by reconnecting to their authentic self.
I’ve been a licensed Firework Career Coach since 2011 and am a CoActive Certified Professional Coach (CPCC). I specialise in career transition and leadership development coaching. I really enjoy supporting my clients to envision that “bigger” version of themselves which is lying just under the surface, waiting to be discovered. And then nudging them to step into that expanded and more dynamic space.
I have a corporate communications background, so I also like coaching my clients to find their authentic voice, to develop their personal brand and to communicate with impact and confidence. I often work with people in the high-tech industries – that’s been a major feature of my own background.
Specialising in women in their 40's and 50's who are looking to make a career change. Also focusing on women working in recruitment who are looking for a change.
Support and straight talking approach that will help you identify why you want to change, what the new role or employer will look like and provide practical support in how to get there.

I support frustrated and unfulfilled mid-career professionals who have built a successful career, ticked all the boxes they were supposed to tick, but now wake up wondering "is this it?".
I support them to get clear on who they are and what is important to them, and to stop overthinking, get unstuck, and create a career they love.
On the whole my coaching approach is non-directive; I believe you are the expert in your life, and that you have everything you need within you. I provide the space, support and tools for you to uncover those answers. My clients describe me as patient and supportive, and I also like to provide gentle challenge in our conversations. We may dig into some deeper issues during our conversations, but we will usually share a laugh or two as well.
Hello! I am a professional accredited Executive, Career and Behavioural Change Coach and Business Mentor with over 30 years leadership experience in coaching and mentoring global transformation leaders and teams within FTSE 100 companies to achieve successful outcomes.
My coaching approach is focussed on collaborating with you as a thinking partner in a creative space, that enables you to explore, dream big and achieve your career transition ambitions.
When working together, we spend time capturing the initial goals for our coaching collaboration, before starting to explore the reality of your current unique situation including potential challenges that may need to be overcome. From there, we work together to develop a customised coaching plan that is tailored to your specific requirements.
We would then dig deep, with a bold and curious mindset, to uncover potential options and strategies to achieve these goals before mapping out a roadmap of next steps to deliver a successful outcome.
Explore, dream and discover. How great would it be to do something you enjoy and to stand in your strengths?
Besides Life coaching, I offer bespoke Career Coaching sessions looking at your current situation and your ideal future goals.

A bit more about me:
With over 15 years’ experience working in both TV production and Media Recruitment, my desire to help, the want to listen, motivate and inspire has always been part of my story line.
All aspects of business, personal and behavioral coaching. I work across all sectors with a mix of gender and role/position in the organisation.
As a career coach I can help you to create the working life that you really want. I work with a wide range of individuals, ranging from those just starting out in the workplace, through returners to the work, to those who are looking for more career satisfaction.
My coaching style is collaborative. I provide a calm and constructive coaching environment in which you will feel at ease and together we can identify your strengths and passions to create a career you will love. We will look at barriers and create a road-map that will take you from where you are now to where you want to be.
How we work together will be led by you; we can work within a structured programme or take a more flexible approach.
I specialise with coaching relationships where:
My coaching emphasis is targeted to individuals with undergraduate and higher degrees especially in science, engineering, mathematics and medicine who wish to use their undoubted intelligence and experience for "enterprises" that require an acumen and insight they have not had to develop either during their degree or during their career. This can include assisting them to develop their own business based on their personal strengths.
I like to have an open conversation with clients to help them help themselves, giving them the benefit of my experience along the way and encouraging them to think logically as distinct from "romantically" about their aspirations and potential, not forgetting the resources (personal or otherwise) upon which they can draw.
