Coaching Biography
I’m a British/Swiss personal and professional coach, working with clients to unlock clarity, confidence, and creativity in their work and lives. Since 2020, after training on the Professional Executive Skills Course for Coaching and Mentoring at Guildhall Ignite (EMCC Global Accreditation), I’ve supported individuals and teams to navigate change, strengthen relationships, and lead with authenticity.
My background is in music and education — I’ve been a professional violinist and workshop leader for over 20 years, performing, teaching, and collaborating internationally. This experience taught me how creativity, empathy, and communication drive meaningful transformation — lessons I now bring into my coaching practice.

What I Offer
For professionals: Space to clarify goals, manage transitions, and develop leadership skills that empower teams and individuals to thrive.
For creatives: Coaching to overcome creative blocks, reconnect with purpose, and maintain balance between artistic drive and personal wellbeing.
For organisations: Team and leadership coaching that fosters communication, trust, and healthier workplace cultures.
For students and early-career professionals: A reduced-rate coaching offer designed to support confidence, focus, and direction during times of transition — whether exploring study options, entering the workplace, or building creative careers.

My Coaching Approach
My coaching draws on both evidence-based frameworks and intuitive, creative insight. I integrate ideas from leadership theory, psychology, and the arts with a grounded, human-centred approach.
I work collaboratively with clients in a space that is confidential, compassionate, and goal-oriented, helping them move from reflection to meaningful action.
I’m particularly interested in leadership development and how different models and styles can help individuals and teams flourish. Clients describe me as open, calm, and perceptive — someone who helps them see possibilities and build confidence in their next steps.

Beyond Coaching
My international music career has included performing, recording, leading ensembles, and managing creative projects. I’ve worked across art forms, cultures, and education settings — from early years to higher education and community initiatives.
I also design and deliver music-based leadership and team-building workshops, using sound, rhythm, and collaboration to help groups experience communication and teamwork in new, creative ways.
I’m continually exploring how my twin passions — coaching and creative leadership — can inspire growth, wellbeing, and purpose in others. Whether you’re leading a team, seeking clarity in your direction, or taking your first steps into a new chapter, I’d be delighted to work with you.

Special student offer: I offer discounted coaching sessions for students and recent graduates — please get in touch for details or to book a free discovery call.

I look forward to working with you.
