Leadership Development Coaching
What are you leading for?
I help business owners, leaders and managers reassess what matters most and how to achieve it.
Working with an external and impartial coach in a confidential environment will enable you to fully explore your goals and address the barriers to your success.
We'll define your leadership purpose, create a compelling vision and ensure you're playing to your strengths to have the impact you want for the benefit of you, your organisation and the people in it.
Wellbeing Coaching
Are you functioning at your best?
Your wellbeing in and out of work underpins everything else you do - it's the difference between optimal performance and eventual burnout.
As a nutritionist with a science background and an active lifestyle I understand the importance of wellbeing. I also have a track-record of simplifying complex ideas to help other people understand and manage their own wellbeing.
I provide fresh perspective on the power of positive and negative beliefs, and will help you explore the attitudes, behaviours and habits you want to enforce or change in order to be at your best.
We'll look at triggers and barriers affecting your wellbeing and introduce techniques and approaches to help you alleviate stress, increase satisfaction and maximise your personal impact.
Career & Personal Development Coaching
Are you driven to make a change?
Are you looking to grow in your career or personal life and feel you're not making the progress you want? Or maybe you're stuck and feel compelled to try something new, but feel unsure what it is or where to start.
A fresh, independent perspective can make all the difference.
I provide an open, reflective & positively challenging environment to help you evaluate your strengths, interests, passions and values in order to discover the right path for you and the confidence to pursue it.

Beyond coaching clients I lead an active lifestyle and enjoy challenging myself.
I read as much as I can to learn, absorb new ideas and gain alternative perspectives to help me grow as an individual and improve as a coach.
I like to keep fit and have completed a number of marathons, half marathons and adventure races. I also have a long-standing interest in martial arts and and train regularly in aikido.
Travel is a big personal passion and through it I have developed a love for photography.
