What I do

I help thoughtful, values-driven people step into leadership that feels authentic and grounded. My coaching gives you a compassionate, curious space to think deeply, unlock your strengths, and build confidence in your own voice and direction.

If you know there's more you want from your life or you're ready to adjust to new roles, we can work together to make that real. Expect warmth, insight and challenge in equal measure, and a strong belief in your potential.

I help people navigate the tough transitions in life - the moments that feel uncertain, uncomfortable, and full of possibility. Together, we can create space to unravel what's changing, connect with who you are becoming, and move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

I particularly enjoy working with women and with people navigating tricky power dynamics or uncertain paths. I will support you to trust yourself, see your strengths clearly and move forward with courage.

As a Professor of Leadership & Business Education with over two decades in UK higher education, I specialise in coaching individuals navigating complex institutional contexts and facing big changes in their lives.

I work from a human-centered, values-based perspective, enabling my clients to reflect deeply, grow confidently and act with purpose.
