What is it like to work with me?
I’m approachable and informal. Following contact, we start with a free consultation call and, if we’re a good match, we'll be ready to start the work of meaningful change.
Based on your chosen programme, we will have 12 online sessions, beginning with identifying goals and aspirations. Each session will then be tailored around your chosen outcomes and followed through at a pace which suits you. You will have the safe space to talk. I will listen, ask questions and use proven coaching tools to explore what’s actually going on underneath all the busy-ness.
My coaching is for you if:
…you’re already getting results, and yet deep down, you know things could be done differently. With more ease. More balance. More joy.
…you’re too overwhelmed to pause and reflect. You’re juggling pressure, fire-fighting, doing more with less, leading through change, navigating team dynamics and office politics — all while trying to think strategically and make sound decisions in a highly uncertain environment.
…you want to prioritise what truly matters, find calm in the chaos, and lead in a way that actually feels like you.
…you don’t need another course or a 10-step framework. You need someone who gets your world — and your commitment to meaningful change.
That’s where I come in.
Coaching with me is reflective, honest, and deeply tailored to you. We clear the mental clutter, create space to think, and get focused on goals that actually matter. You’ll learn to act more effectively — with clearer mind.
And if you’re ready to commit to the work (including what happens between sessions),
you’ll start to feel more confident, more yourself — and more in charge of your next step.

MY MISSION
My mission is two-fold:
-
To be of service to individuals and communities — both local and international — by inspiring them to think differently and take courageous steps toward their dreams and goals
-
To connect individuals across borders, cultures, and habits, bringing them together to grow and learn from each other
MY VALUES
These values guide me in how I interact with the clients, how I run the business, and how I show up in life.
-
Meaningful social connection
Whether it’s a coaching session or a coffee chat, I am drawn to real conversations - the kind where people feel seen and heard
-
Unconditional positive regard for the shared human experience
I meet people where they are - no judgment, no pressure. Just space to be human, reflect, and grow
-
Courage to try new things and learn from them
I believe that the best way to grow is to try, tweak things as I go, and keep moving forward
