Empowering Growth: What Coaching can offer and how I show up to support you
Coaching is a transformative journey designed to help you unlock your potential, clarify your goals, and empower you to achieve meaningful growth.
At its core, coaching is about creating a space where you can explore the deeper layers within yourself, peeling back what lies beneath the surface of your day-to-day experiences to find clarity and insight. It’s not about receiving answers but about engaging with questions that invite you to listen to your inner voice, especially those parts of yourself that have become beliefs that maybe holding you back.
Empowering Women Leaders Through Personalized Coaching
As a Career and Leadership Coach, I specialize in supporting women who are navigating challenges, both personally and professionally (the two can overlap even when we try and keep them separate). Whether you’re looking to reflect and develop your leadership behaviours, you are navigating perimenopause and it’s having an impact on your work and relationships, or you want short term support in leading transformational change, having a courageous conversation I’m here to help you. Together, we will design a coaching experience uniquely tailored to your needs, helping you achieve your desired outcomes and step confidently into your full leadership potential that aligns to your values and your vision for living your life.
Empowering you to speak your truth, gain clarity and shine brightly
In our coaching journey together, you’ll find a safe, supportive space to reconnect with your authentic self, speak your truth, and gain clarity about your purpose, values, and vision. Through thoughtful guidance and meaningful exploration, you’ll uncover what truly matters to you—how you want to show up in the world and the impact you wish to make.
My Coaching Philosophy and Approach
With years of experience in leadership and workforce development, particularly within the NHS, I bring a wealth of expertise to every coaching session. I prepare for each session, ensuring I’m fully present and focused on you. My approach is rooted in authenticity and connection—I’m genuinely curious about your experiences and dedicated to creating a safe, open space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered.
I use a blended coaching approach that integrates different models, creative techniques, and insightful stories tailored to help you connect with both your conscious and subconscious thoughts. This approach is designed to deepen your self-understanding, aligning your thoughts, emotions, and actions in support of your goals and aspirations.
As an accredited coach, I am committed to continuous professional development, attend regular supervision sessions, and strive to grow in my roles as a coach, leader, and individual. My journey is one of balance, authenticity, and lifelong learning, which I bring wholeheartedly to our coaching relationship.
A Recent Client Story
A client came to me overwhelmed, feeling torn between her responsibilities at work and her desire to be present at home. She worked flexibly to be there for school runs and after-school time with her children. Initially, she thought her challenges stemmed from time management, but through thoughtful questions and deep listening, she uncovered a deeper realization—her boundaries had blurred, and with them, a sense of self-compromise had set in. Though her flexible working hours was intended to provide balance, she felt a compulsion to “make up” for it, creating an internal conflict.
Once she recognized this dynamic, she chose to consciously redefine her boundaries. The energy shift from frustration to empowerment as she envisioned her next steps was transformational.
It’s in these moments—when clients align their conscious intentions with their subconscious beliefs and desires—that the “magic” of coaching truly happens.
My role as a coach is to guide you through the process, giving you space to voice and explore your thoughts and feelings as you gain the insights and clarity needed to move forward. I will help you to unlock your fullest potential and create a pathway toward the career and life you aspire to.
