Coaching
1:1 support on leadership, career change and personal growth
I coach curious people and people who are looking to regain their curiosity and joy – about who they are, what they really want and how they can make a change. People who are feeling stuck in their roles, whether at work or at home, and who are looking for new or different ways to grow.
I facilitate a space where my clients can be quiet, hum, breathe, daydream, rant, and think as expansively and creatively as possible. That space is gentle, encouraging and sometimes challenging. Together we explore what is happening right now, what is possible in the future and what is actually true and important.
I received my qualification from the Institute of Leadership and Management and have regular supervision to maintain an ethical practice as a coach.
Who do I work with?
You might be:
~ at the start of your first leadership role wanting to figure out who you are as a leader
~ feeling like you can’t get your voice heard and therefore make yourself smaller every day
~ trying to find a new job but can’t quite describe what it is that you do in the professional space
~ looking to assert your boundaries in your work and life
~ refusing to fit into what other people have come to expect of you
~ dreaming about bigger goals and wondering how to reach them
~ curious about your real, wild and creative potential
How can coaching help you?
Right now you might be feeling like there is no time to do professional development – the pressures of your daily tasks are too urgent and pressing for you to take a step to the side and listen to that online seminar or take a day to work on next year’s strategy. You might have a feeling like you are not the leader you want to be but there doesn’t seem to be any alternatives either. You want to voice your opinions and expertise more clearly and loudly at work but something at the back of your mind tells you to keep quiet. Or maybe, as you go through your to-do lists, nothing takes your fancy and you know there is a different job you’d rather be doing.
We are often pushed to work faster and do more, to the detriment of our curiosity and our ability to think. In my coaching sessions, you will have the space and time to do proper thinking. Time to make decisions and have innovative ideas, to cultivate your creativity and make genuine change. No interruptions or demands. You will get to ignite your playful mind and let your thoughts go for a wander, without fearing judgement.
With proper time to commit to your goals, you will come out at the other end with more clarity on what you want and how to do things your way. This is not a coaching programme where I tell you to feel the fear and do it anyway or to shout louder to drown other voices. My coaching focuses on what is individual and unique to you. You will gain insight into who you are and what works best for you, allowing you to identify your priorities, gain tools to navigate challenges and build confidence and agency in advocating for yourself.
My promise to you is that I will support you all the way, holding space for your thinking, without interruption.
Happy customers
"I was nervous to start having never undertaken any kind of career/professional coaching that was about me, and not the subject matter, before. You were incredibly welcoming and made me feel at ease straight away. I very much valued how you encouraged me, sometimes through questions and sometimes by letting me work through my own thoughts, to reframe things that I perceived to be problems to understanding them as ways I work and therefore be accepting of them. You let me guide the sessions but kept them structured and productive. I found the sessions challenging but rewarding and I enjoyed how we were able to share experiences to illustrate things. I felt you were honest and open whilst maintaining professionalism.
10/10 – highly recommend!"
