About me

I have over 20 years’ experience working in the area of career transition, supporting people to navigate complex professional challenges through one to one coaching, workshops and research.

Fascinated by the potential for reflection to develop career agency and action I completed a Doctorate in this area in 2014, going on to work as a lecturer and researcher within higher education. This level of analysis equips me perfectly to understand the complexity of people’s lives, to see themes, to recognise what is happening underneath the conversation and to cut through to what is most important using models, frameworks and most importantly, the priorities of the person I am working with.

I have continued my professional development through the Institute of Leadership and Management Level 7 in Executive Coaching and Mentoring, a practice based Masters level qualification that has deepened my practice and enabled me to work as an external executive coach.

My on-going professional development is very important to me. I invest through training, conferences and coaching supervision. The presentation of my thinking in writing, at conferences and when undertaking research and education consultancy provides a creative outlet and a chance for collaboration.

My work is a platform. It is informed by research and theory but is a practical and personable space for people to creatively explore options with the attention deserved.
