Business experience. A personal perspective.
I began my career as an insurance assessor, later became a director of the firm where I worked, and subsequently ran my own insurance-related business. That experience shapes how I approach coaching: business decisions affect people, responsibilities, and life beyond work.
A turning point came when I recognised that my work no longer felt fulfilling. Moving into coaching allowed me to bring my experience together with what matters to me: authenticity, compassion, and helping others grow.
Today, the starting point is your situation—not a prescribed version of success.

Space to think clearly
A sounding board for the decisions, pressures, and competing priorities that are difficult to work through alone.
Support and honest challenge
I listen to understand, ask questions that test assumptions, and help you see choices you may have overlooked.
Practical next steps
We connect your goals and values to action, with accountability and time to reflect on what is—and is not—working.
