A little about me

Coaching is for people who are functioning well, but want to navigate a period of change or pressure more effectively.

I work with individuals, often in demanding professional roles, who are facing significant transitions. This might include preparing for high-stakes exams, adjusting to new parenthood or considering what’s next for them.

These are people who don’t need a diagnosis or treatment, but want space to think clearly, regain perspective, and move forward with intention. That might mean performing under pressure, managing competing demands, or making sense of a challenging experience and using it as a catalyst for growth.

Therapy and coaching can both be valuable, but they serve different purposes.

Therapy is often the right space for understanding and working through mental health challenges, including how past experiences may be shaping the present. Coaching is more focused on where you are now and where you want to go—helping you think clearly, perform under pressure, and move forward with intention.

The people I work with are generally already functioning well and want more clarity, perspective, and better ways of navigating high-stakes or challenging situations.

I’m not a psychologist, but I have a Master of Science in Coaching Psychology and use evidence-based solution focused approaches. I’m also trained to recognise when coaching isn’t the right support, and I’ll always be honest if I think another pathway would be more appropriate.

Not at all. Some people come with a clear goal—an exam, a presentation, a performance edge they want to sharpen. Others come in with a feeling: something's stuck, something's shifted, something needs to change.

Both are great places to start. The first thing we do is figure out what matters most to you right now, and build from there.

I hold a Master of Science in Coaching Psychology from the University, which means everything I do is grounded in evidence-based approaches to behaviour change, performance, and wellbeing.

Before that, I spent years in corporate HR working with leaders and teams helping people navigate pressure, perform at their best, and make sense of change. I also hold a Bachelor of Arts (Sociology) and Bachelor of Commerce (Human Resources), which gave me a broad foundation in understanding people and how organisations work.

The coaching industry isn't regulated, which means anyone can call themselves a coach. I wanted more than that, for myself and for the people I work with.

I hold a Master of Science in Coaching Psychology, so everything I do is grounded in evidence, not trends, simplistic frameworks or guesswork. I've also lived through the kind of change that most coaches only read about. That means I get it, not just the theory, but what it actually feels like when your world shifts and you have to figure out what comes next.

If meeting in person is important to you we can arrange that however the majority of my sessions are conducted online via Zoom.

Yes, completely. Before we start, I'll send you a coaching agreement that covers confidentiality, how we work together, and what to expect. What you share in our sessions stays between us.

The only exception would be if I believed someone's safety was at risk and I'd always be upfront with you about that.

Sonder is the recognition that every person around you is living a life as rich and complex as your own. I first came across the word as the title of an album by Dermot Kennedy. When my son was in ICU, those songs became a constant, something I held onto when nothing else made sense. I felt sonder as I passed every other parent in the hospital wondering about their story, their challenge.

The word has stayed with me since, and it feels right for this work. Good coaching helps you see beyond your own lens, find clarity in the bigger picture, and move forward with a deeper sense of who you are and where you fit.
