Achieve your goals
How can I help you?
I work with my clients to find solutions, particularly during periods of challenge or change, to be influential in relation to their career progress, development of resilience and management of their work life balance. I aim to support my clients to thrive in their careers and their lives.
I work with employers to facilitate the retention and development of their employees, supporting them to be motivated, productive, influential and engaged. By linking the values of the business with the coaching of the individual, I work to relate the individual’s development to the development of the business.
About Me
I am a former lawyer. I trained and qualified at Simmons & Simmons and specialised in Tax & Trusts. I went on to work at Osborne Clarke & Charles Russell Speechlys. After 12 years and 2 children, I decided that it was time for a career change. The aspect that I loved most about my job was the people and relationships. I was offered an opportunity to join a team delivering professional development workshops to young accountants and that was my springboard into coaching.
My personal experience of working in a corporate environment gives me the ability to empathise and support professionals in finding pragmatic and realistic solutions to their challenges, and to grow and flourish.
The demands of navigating a career around parenthood was a cause close to my heart as I saw talented individuals leaving their professions as they struggled to reconcile work and family. I work with professionals to find strategies to keep their careers on their chosen trajectory alongside external commitments.
I have been coaching to enhance performance and develop leadership capabilities, and to support clients through periods of change and transition, particularly around parenthood, for over 15 years.
I work with clients one to one and in groups, both onsite and virtually.
I am an accredited ILM Leadership & Parental Transition Coach, Level 7 Executive Coach & Mentor (accredited by the ILM) and Executive Coach (accredited at Masters Level by UWE).
