Career choices? Handling difficult conversations? Leadership skills to advance your career opportunities? This is what I coach

I’m a professional coach and mentor with over 25 years of leadership experience, 20 of those at senior level, working across healthcare, wellbeing, and culture change.
For the past four years, I have worked as an internal coach, supporting leaders at all levels, from emerging talent to senior executives. I create psychologically safe spaces where people feel heard, valued, and supported, allowing them to step into their potential and lead with courage. My work spans supporting healthcare professionals in the NHS and private sector, SME leaders, culture and wellbeing champions, and particularly women in business. I deeply understand and resonate with business leaders and help them own their voice with authenticity, set boundaries, and thrive in complex and high-pressure environments.
As a qualified Freedom to Speak Up Guardian, I’ve personally supported over 90% of 230 interventions that led to organisational and safety improvements and led a team of 14 Volunteer Mental Health First Care Champions, personally delivering more than 550 wellbeing interventions.
Through my private coaching practice, I work with SMEs and leaders to align strategy with authentic leadership, fostering teams that perform sustainably while feeling supported and seen. I have worked with diverse cross-sector clients including Healthcare, Technology, Consultancy, Engineering, Manufacturing, Security, Sales, Finance, Retail, The Music Industry and Catering Services.
I was hand selected to form part of a team of coaches that collaborated with Leeds Beckett University and Exemplas to deliver a WYCA-funded programme that supports organisational culture change and growth via the West Yorkshire Business Boost Programme.
I work with people in a way that demonstrates empathy and honours professional boundaries. I am quickly able to co-create positive rapport and put individuals at ease during sensitive discussions. I have a clear understanding of safeguarding and ethical frameworks, particularly with mental health. I adhere to Professional Coaching Code of Ethics and Guidelines and I am a member of The Association for Coaching and The Institute of Leadership.
I combine heart, strategy, and practical impact, supporting people on a journey that honours their strengths, acknowledges challenges, and leaves them more confident, clear, and ready to make a difference.
