Coaching with me is about clarity, insight, and forward movement.
As a sociologist and coach, I help people understand the systems they work within — and the patterns, habits and beliefs that shape their opportunities, wellbeing and leadership.

I specialise in supporting people navigating complex environments, career transitions, and midlife change. My clients include academics, executives, leaders, and people seeking to create more purposeful, sustainable and fulfilling work lives.

What is coaching?

Coaching is a structured, future-focused conversation that helps you gain clarity, identify possibilities, and take meaningful action. It is practical, reflective and goal-oriented — grounded in measurable outcomes and personal insight.

My approach

My coaching draws on evidence from sociology, psychology and leadership practice.

I work in partnership with you to:

  • cultivate awareness of your physical, mental and emotional state

  • strengthen decision-making and clarity

  • develop confidence and self-trust

  • explore patterns and possibilities with curiosity

  • build sustainable skills and practices

  • navigate change with compassion and strategy

I create a space that is supportive, challenging in the right ways, and grounded in trust and confidentiality.
