With over 35 years in the charity sector and higher education, I have extensive experience of supporting people through periods of learning, growth, and change. I have managed and developed teams of staff and volunteers and worked with hundreds of students as they built the skills, confidence, and self-belief needed to achieve their learning goals. Many were returning to education for the first time since school, so I am fully aware of how important empathy, encouragement, and practical support can be when someone is taking a brave next step.

I understand first-hand how life’s turning points can leave you questioning what comes next. Serious illness and redundancy have significantly shaped my own life, giving me a real appreciation of how powerful it can be to pause, reflect, and make intentional choices about the future.

Having these questions arise in my own life and within my family, I know how valuable it is to have space, encouragement, and practical support to explore them with confidence. This inspired me to become a coach so that I could empower others to do the same. ‍

I help people approaching or navigating change to create a clearer, more purposeful future. Through one-to-one coaching, we will work together to uncover what matters most to you, strengthen your motivation and confidence, challenge limiting beliefs, and turn uncertainty into positive, practical next steps.
