Principles
My online coaching is built on three, simple principles.
Self-awareness
that’s free from judgement
The better we know ourselves, the easier our lives can be. But we also need to learn to be kind to ourselves – to be thoughtful observers to our nature rather than harsh critics. Self-awareness without the stigma that we need to be more than we are.
Self-reflection
without excess
Being able to reflect on ourselves and explore our behaviour without becoming prisoners to our thinking. To find a balanced approach to reflection and the growth of our emotional intelligence.
Self-acceptance
of who you are today
It may sound paradoxical, but I believe the more we accept ourselves for who we are today the easier it is to grow into something tomorrow. Acknowledging the remarkable person you are already helps build on the strengths you already have.
My approach
Curiosity, courage and exploration
Curiosity
to learn about ourselves
Supporting clients to have the curiosity to learn about themselves, what makes them happy and what they want from life. Learning about ourselves is an every changing, life-long endeavour so it pays to be inquisitive.
Courage
to change the things we want to
I help clients to build the courage to make change in their lives when they need to, and develop the resilience to work through life’s challenges when they arise.
Exploration
to find a life that makes you content
There’s no solution that fits everyone, so it’s about understanding what works for you. It’s about exploring solutions, ideas and approaches together – and finding something that fits you.
You’ve become a trusted companion in some of the biggest life changes I’ve experienced to date. Your support, insight (and challenges!) have been invaluable.

Why work with me?
Everyone is different, which means it’s not just about finding any coach – it’s about finding the right coach for you.
Coaches come in all shapes and sizes, and it’s important you find one you trust and get along with.
I have a background in organisational change, executive coaching and psychology. I’ve coached people from all over the world in all walks of life, from CEO’s to teachers and professional athletes. My focus is never on how senior a person is, but whether I can help and add value to them.
Regardless of who I work with, I follow the same fundamental principles:
The time and space to think
Most people are never given the time, space and support to achieve what they’re really capable of – I offer this space and support to my clients.
To really listen, without judgement
Coaching is about listening. Really listening. Then asking the right questions. My role is to be attentive and aware of your thought process, and thoughtfully challenge it to lead to better outcomes.
Work in partnership, with you as the lead
I work as a partner with you. I’m not there to tell you what’s right, make judgements or force you to do things my way. We navigate together, understanding your situation, developing options and agreeing a way forward.
When choosing a coach, it’s useful to ask yourself:
