You can contact me with questions about

Feeling stuck or experiencing a low mood?
Constantly stressed or worried?
Struggle with self-esteem or ‘imposter syndrome’?
Have trust or relationship issues?
Want to make a change but do not know how or where to start?
Or simply want to talk to someone and not feel judged?

As your coach, my vision is to empower you with the knowledge and skills you need to take a proactive role in making meaningful changes and caring for your own needs. In doing so, you will be able to live a happy, healthy and fulfilling life. I support clients with emotional difficulties and life challenges, and guide them towards self-discovery, personal growth and goal attainment.

My practice focuses on stress, anxiety, confidence issues, low motivation, perfectionism, loss of meaning and purpose and relationship problems. With 20+ years’ corporate experience, I specialize in helping those in high-pressure environments improve resilience and optimize performance.

I also work with business leaders to overcome functional weaknesses or mental obstacles and deal with issues like indecisiveness, procrastination, self-confidence and assertiveness.

THIS IS HOW I WORK

Working with me, you will be able to discover underlying issues or obstacles, find solutions to your problems, create actionable plans to achieve your goals, drive positive sustainable behavioural health changes, and develop effective coping skills to be better able to moderate or withstand pressures.
