ABOUT ME

My own journey is one that was transformed by coaching. I had a successful life in every traditional sense and yet I knew something was missing. Coaching allowed me to fully meet myself and create a life that gives me vitality and meaning. After many years as a successful leader in the corporate world I now own my own change management and coaching business, and support others who want more from life but aren’t sure where to start or how to get there.

METHODOLOGY

My coaching is personalised, holistic and transformational. This enables you to consider the interconnectedness of the different aspects of your life and make deep, lasting shifts in mindset and behavior in addition to achieving specific tangible outcomes. I create an environment that is open, trust based, growth-focused and allows space for both introspection and action. This ensures you feel heard, seen and supported to embrace opportunities for change. Within this space it becomes possible for self-limiting beliefs and unhelpful perspectives to be shifted.

My coaching is based on the Thoughtsmiths STAKES™ method (a neuroscience-based approach supported by extensive research and practical evidence), and coaching best practise from the International Coaching Federation (ICF). I also leverage mindfulness, embodiment practices, holistic wellness approaches, leadership models and change management methods, in a way that is based on client-specific needs.
