Bio
I am an executive coach and mentor working with senior leaders, founders and directors navigating growth, complexity and transition. I support leaders to think clearly, lead well, and build sustainable performance without losing sight of the human impact of their decisions.
Alongside my coaching practice, I am a business owner and have run my own HR consultancy for the past three years. I bring over 15 years’ experience in HR and organisational development, working closely with SME founders, leadership teams and senior executives. This dual perspective means I understand both the commercial realities of running a business and the behavioural dynamics that shape leadership, culture and performance.
My approach is blended, context-led and ethical. I primarily work from a non-directive coaching stance, using reflective questioning to build self-awareness, challenge assumptions and support leaders to generate their own insight. Where appropriate, I integrate mentoring, particularly with leaders stepping into new roles, scaling quickly, or developing people leadership capability. I am explicit about when I am coaching and when I am mentoring, maintaining clarity of purpose and ethical boundaries.
My work draws on executive coaching models, adult learning theory and reflective practice, informed by extensive real-world experience of governance, policy, restructuring and organisational change.
I work in line with the EMCC Global Code of Ethics and ABM standards, with a strong focus on clear contracting, confidentiality, supervision and ongoing CPD.
Clients describe my style as calm, practical and insightful, offering both challenge and support. Outcomes commonly include increased confidence in decision-making, stronger people leadership, improved emotional regulation, and tangible shifts in team culture and performance.
