I help my clients to grow personally, professionally and purposefully so that they can lives their best lives and help others to do the same.

I believe that learning and change are intertwined. At some point in our lives, most of us reach a place where we want to change our work, lives or ourselves in some way. Change is not easy and for some, it can be one of the hardest things we do. But I believe that an attitude of learning and non-judgemental support, helps us to embrace the uncertainty and anxiety that change can induce.

I practice what I preach. I have made changes in my career, in my life and changes in myself. My belief in learning has helped me to do that. I encourage others to embrace change as learning – to try, to fail and to give things a go. A learning mindset helps to encourage us to experiment with new ways of being before we find ones that work for us.  I learnt this from my dad. When I was ten years old, he changed his career from Firefighter to English Teacher. He taught me that you can do and be anything you want – if you’re willing to learn.

We can get stuck in life. Steven Covey once said, “If the ladder is not leaning against the right wall, every step we take just gets us to the wrong place faster.” Sometimes, we just have a sense that we are not where we want to be, or not on the right path, but unsure how to change things. Some of my clients have a clear vision in their mind of where they want to go, but they’re not clear on how to get there. Others can’t see a path, a way forward. My coaching is a bit like map-making. I support people with their change journey, whether that’s mapping out the first step, articulating the end destination or letting go of whatever is holding them back.
