When I first stepped into coaching, back in 2010, I realised something profound: the way we approach our challenges can completely transform not just our careers, but our entire outlook on life. Coaching isn’t about telling you what to do or who to be. It’s about helping you uncover what’s already within you—the strengths, the vision, and the courage to take that next step, even when the road ahead feels uncertain.
Whether you’re striving for personal growth, navigating career transitions, or reigniting your creative spark, coaching is a collaborative process that gives you the structure, tools, and support to move forward with clarity and purpose.
Think of coaching as a partnership where your goals take center stage. It’s not about me giving answers but empowering you to discover your own path. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, what drives you, and how to create meaningful change. Here’s what coaching can help you achieve:
After decades of working with educators, leaders, and creatives, I’ve seen it all—the overwhelming demands, the desire to do more, and the moments where everything feels like too much.
Here’s how I can help:
I bring over two decades of teaching and leadership experience, alongside 15 years of professional coaching. I’ve worked with educators, trainers, and business leaders to help them unlock new skills, set achievable goals, and transform their careers. I hold a Level 5 Certidicate in Coaching from the Chartered Management Institute.
Coaching isn’t one-size-fits-all. Together, we’ll develop a personalised plan that aligns with your ambitions—whether that’s enhancing your teaching practice, improving leadership, or gaining clarity on the next chapter of your career.
I focus on real, actionable outcomes. Each session is designed to help you walk away with clarity, confidence, and a plan for the next steps.
Coaching with me is a safe, judgment-free space where you can explore ideas, work through challenges, and set bold, achievable goals.
