A few years ago, I’d reached a crisis point.
I was hellbent on “climbing the ladder” in my career in startup marketing. Only the closer I got to the top, the less I liked what I found. The shiny leadership title I’d aspired to for years made me feel trapped.
I was careening between periods of productive but unhealthy stress, and inevitable burnouts that sapped all my motivation. Unsurprisingly, my love life mirrored the stress and dysfunction that was happening at work. My body was screaming at me to slow down.
I felt disconnected—from my work, my worth, my body, and myself.
Firstly, my dad died—and there’s nothing like losing someone you love to throw your priorities into sharp relief. Secondly, I discovered coaching.
Eventually, I caught up. Because two things happened that changed my perspective.
Being able to talk to someone completely objective in a safe, zero-judgement space allowed me to really get to know all the different parts of me: the high (and often over-) achiever, the shy creative, the fierce independent spirit.
I was first offered coaching as a workplace perk.
Consistently making that time to reflect, learn and grow
with a trained professional helped me to:
Gain the clarity and courage to leave my full-time job
Understand what had gone wrong—from misaligned values to unproductive relationship dynamics
Realise a dream I’d always quietly nurtured: working for myself
Choose myself over people who didn’t light me up
Finally commit to a creative practice and publish my own writing
Ignite a new calling as a coach
My Personal experience informs
My personal experience informs my practice, which integrates psychology-based methods, follows a person-centred, systems-thinking and trauma-informed approach, and respects ethical codes of coaching conduct.
I qualified with the Animas Centre for Coaching in July 2024. I'm an accredited EMCC Senior Practitioner and (as a lifelong nerd) continue to invest in my professional development as a coach.

My Practice
And of course, the work is always ongoing.
I have two core coaching programmes:
Neither quite right for you? I've coached clients on everything from writing to dating. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to co-create something bespoke.
My Programmes
An 8-session, 1:1 Career & Life Coaching programme for recovering high achievers going through changes. If you’re feeling stuck, shifting your ideas about success, and seeking a new direction, you can think of Crossroads as a self-knowledge bootcamp (no burpees, I promise). Ideal if you need a focused period of reflection, discovery and decision-making.
A 3-month container for independent spirits who need help with the "self" bit of self-employment. Psychology-based coaching to navigate the emotional and existential rollercoaster of freelancing or owning a business, a non-judgmental ear to bounce ideas off, and accountability for committing to practices, projects, and dreams.
