Craving more purpose and meaning in your life? Ready to pursue what you really want instead of trying to live up to other people’s expectations? Looking for clarity around what your next step should be? I create a calm, non-judgemental coaching space where you can explore what matters to you, helping you to build a more authentic life in alignment with your values.

We will work in partnership to explore your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, challenges and dreams, with the ultimate goal of making the changes you want in your life. Coaching isn't a fixed process or a set of steps to complete; every session is different. There may be an overall topic we'll focus on, but we can work on whatever feels most relevant to you at any given time.

Topics could include:

- Identifying your values;
- Creating direction and purpose;
- Understanding your feelings;
- Defining your goals;
- Building confidence and motivation;
- Exploring relationship dynamics;
- Finding acceptance.

Sessions last up to 60 minutes and take place online. (If you are based in or near York, we can discuss the option of meeting face to face.) I offer a free 30-minute discovery call for us to meet and discuss how we could work together to support your goals.

My Story:

After studying Maths at Durham University I worked as a management consultant in London. I learned a huge amount, but after a few years I found myself questioning where I was heading. I took a sabbatical to travel, and after a year back in London I decided to resign. In 2020, I planned to move to Japan and teach English, but the world had other plans.

Instead, over the last few years I've worked as a private tutor and taught study skills at York St John University. I trained with Animas and qualified as a Transformative Coach in 2026. I want to help people create the space to explore their own inner worlds – their values, beliefs, hopes and uncertainties – and to work out what a more authentic and purposeful life might look like for them.

Alongside work, I've found hiking to be hugely beneficial for my mental clarity, and I'm now working towards my Mountain Leader qualification. I'm also a huge football fan and am developing a board game with my brother.

I don't have all the answers, but I'd love to create a space where you can find some of your own.
