About Me - Your ICF-Certified Career Coach in Surrey
I work with professionals who want more from their careers — more clarity, more confidence, and a renewed sense of fulfillment. My coaching gets to the heart of what matters most to you and helps you shape the next stage of your career with fresh energy and focus.
I’m an ICF Certified Coach (ACC), based in Surrey, and hold an Accredited Diploma in Transformational Coaching from Animas Centre for Coaching, accredited by both the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and the Association for Coaching.
I’m also a member of the International Coaching Federation, dedicated to upholding the highest professional standards and ethics in coaching.
My Creative Path to Coaching With Purpose
My career began in theatre, drawn by a love of storytelling and the magic of live experience. After training at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, I spent over two decades producing large-scale brand experiences for global organisations. That experience gave me first-hand understanding of corporate dynamics, high-pressure environments, and the demands of senior leadership—insights I now bring to my coaching practice.
It was exciting, fast-paced, and incredibly rewarding. But like many of the people I now coach, I eventually found myself questioning what I truly wanted next. I realised I was ready for a different kind of challenge — one that still involved people, purpose, and performance, but in a more meaningful way.
That turning point inspired me to volunteer with Samaritans, first as a listening volunteer and later as Deputy Director for Recruitment. This deeply rewarding experience strengthened my understanding of people and the importance of being truly heard, and ultimately laid the groundwork for my transition into professional coaching.
Today, I’m passionate about helping professionals navigate career change and rediscover their confidence as leaders — because I know from experience how transformative it can be to do work you truly care about.
Alongside my private practice, I also work as an Associate Career Coach with Unmind, a leading digital mental health platform supporting professionals worldwide.
My Coaching Style
Clients describe my approach as warm, straight-talking, and energising. I bring a balance of insight and practicality to every session — helping you unpick where you’re getting stuck, look at challenges from new angles, and make focused progress from day one.
My coaching is designed for people who are ready for change and willing to push beyond their comfort zone. Together, we’ll clarify what truly matters to you, build resilience, executive presence, and develop strategic approaches you can apply in real-world situations.
As your coach, I’ll both challenge and support you — in ways those closest to you sometimes can’t. My goal is to help you think boldly, act decisively, and build the self-belief to create a career and life that feel genuinely fulfilling.
