I am passionate about people,

their stories and their dreams.

Helping people shift into where their dreams want to take them is a unique privilege and drives every coaching conversation I have.

My wider purpose as a coach is to help raise the consciousness of the collective human experience by helping others connect to passion and meaning in their lives.

I come at life with a ‘growth mindset’. I believe very little of our potential is fixed and predetermined. With the correct approach, we are all capable of far, far more than we think is possible.

But it wasn’t always like this.

I studied Psychology at the University of Liverpool, focussing on social psychology. I took this into the corporate world, selling and marketing drinks brands. It was a lot of fun. I eventually moved into leadership roles to formalise my people-development skills. I discovered the coaching discipline here, and fell in love with it. But there was a problem.

My genuine passion for selling drinks was low, at best. I loved developing people, but hated the BS that came with doing it in organisations that existed only to make profit. And somewhere along the line, I had somehow lost touch with my other true passion: music.

I was forced to confront that continuing to resist my true callings (people and music) was a path that wouldn’t turn out very well. But I was terrified of leaving the ‘safety’ of what I knew. Even though that made me miserable.

Through coaching, mentoring and family support I braved leaving the corporate world behind and focussed on training as a coach, and bringing music back into my life.

Since then, I’ve coached over 100 people from a range of backgrounds and cultures and helped people make life-changing shifts to step into their full potential. The work is incredible, and gives me more satisfaction than I knew possible from ‘work’ .

And importantly, I make sure people have fun doing it….otherwise, what would be the point? 😉
