Meeting the Challenge

Life presents us with challenges, and the way we meet them shapes our lives. Each challenge, when met with awareness, is an incredible opportunity for learning and growth — both personally and professionally.

You might be questioning whether your current situation — in work or in life — truly reflects who you are and what you want. Perhaps you’re facing an important decision that feels hard to make. Maybe you’re considering your next move, or you’re ready to get down in the dirt and explore what your true calling really is.

Whatever challenge life is presenting, coaching offers an opportunity for self-discovery and growth. It helps you see your situation more clearly, understand your options, and decide how you want to move forward.

What Coaching Is (and Isn’t)

Coaching isn’t about advice or being told what to do.

It’s grounded in the belief that you already hold the answers — you just need the space, time, and supportive environment to find them.

As a coach, my role is to help you hear your own voice beneath the noise, see possibilities you might have missed, and take steps towards what matters most to you.

Why Work With Me?

Not all coaching is the same. My approach goes deeper than simply solving the problem in front of you.

I create a coaching environment where you can bring not just your current challenge, but your whole self — your values, your experiences, your ingrained beliefs, and even the questions that may not yet be fully formed.

I don’t shy away from the deeper patterns — the things that keep you circling back to the same place. Together, we’ll explore these with clarity, compassion and empathy, so you can move forward in a way that feels authentic and lasting.

While my coaching is practical and grounded, it’s also holistic. My own personal development journey has shown me that real transformation happens when we courageously explore the full picture of who we are — our work, our relationships, our inner life, our fears, our aspirations, and the beliefs that shape us. In doing so, you don’t just resolve a challenge — you discover new ways of being that ripple into every area of life.

How It Works

We begin with an initial consultation to see whether we’re a good fit for working together. This is a chance for you to experience my approach, and for both of us to decide if the partnership feels right.

If we agree to continue, we’ll arrange a series of sessions — generally six — that give you the time and space to explore your situation in depth.

Your first session lasts around 90 minutes, allowing us to lay the groundwork and explore your goals in detail. Each subsequent session begins with you setting the outcome you most want for the next 60 minutes, with the overall aim of leaving the coaching process with clarity and direction.

A Bit About Me…

I’m a certified life and executive coach, trained with Barefoot Coaching’s ICF Level 2 accredited programme. Before coaching, I spent 30 years in the corporate world — most recently as Senior Vice President at Sony Music — leading and mentoring high-performing teams through transformative times for the entertainment industries.

Over the past 10 years, I’ve been on my own journey of self-discovery, which has deepened my understanding of what real transformation requires. When I left Sony, I knew my next chapter would be about helping others realise their highest calling.

My clients include business leaders, tech entrepreneurs, educators, artists, musicians, therapists, and fellow coaches.

Outside of coaching, I love music, drawing, cold-water swimming, and travel adventures.
