I am living proof that creating your 'dream career' - living and working on your own terms - is not only possible, but achievable too!

With experience in a variety of senior management roles, from corporates to tech start-ups, I have a great understanding of the challenges people face at work, both in managing the day to day demands as well as career planning for the longer-term.

I set up my coaching practice in 2007, and I now focus on delivering a range of personalised coaching and training programmes to help my clients get to where they want in their careers and lives.

Wearing my “HR consultant hat'' I'm still actively supporting businesses. This keeps my finger on the pulse with what employers are looking for, what candidates struggle with, how recruiters can help, as well as the key success factors for people who want to get on in their careers.

I've been involved in many voluntary projects including creating and running a redundancy support programme for the RSPCA, and supporting students at a local youth centre with CV advice, jobs and interview skills. I also run career planning talks at local colleges.

​Innately curious, an avid reader and life-long learner, I’m constantly on the lookout for new information and opportunities for my clients and colleagues.

​Travelling and photography are passions of mine, I have lived in South Africa and Malta, have travelled widely and took the trip of a lifetime to the Galapagos Islands in 2018.

I treasure the time I spend with my three now adult children, as well as travelling around the UK in Frieda, my lovely camper van!
