My background and experience blends the analytical and the intuitive: I’m currently completing a Master’s in the Psychology of Coaching at the University of Leicester, where I’m exploring the evidence-based frameworks that underpin meaningful personal and professional development to deepen my understanding around the processes that guide successful motivation.
I support individuals in unlocking insight and agency in their personal and professional lives, and I help teams strengthen relationships and navigate complexity with confidence. My approach is collaborative, grounded, and tailored — whether we’re working one-on-one, facilitating strategy for an organisation, or developing training that sticks.
A significant part of my experience involves supporting teams and organisations through periods of change, uncertainty, and transformation. I’ve helped leaders and their teams reframe resistance, reconnect with shared purpose, and develop the skills needed to adapt in evolving environments. Whether through structured strategy facilitation, targeted training, or team coaching sessions, I focus on building trust, improving communication, and fostering resilience during transitional times.
At the heart of my work is a simple belief: when people feel seen, heard, and capable, they do incredible things.
In the past, I’ve trained with some of the leading names in communication and coaching, including RADA Business (Impact & Influencing) and Orchard Training’s Coaching for Success program. These experiences have shaped the way I approach coaching and working with individuals and teams: with clarity, curiosity, and a deep respect for the unique strengths and stories each person brings to the table.
