Helping people in higher education realign their work with their values, strengths and ambitions

Author    -   Coach    -    Academic    -    Chartered Psychologist



My work is centred on helping people find greater clarity, confidence and alignment, recognising that there is no single definition of success and that meaningful careers are shaped by individual values, goals and circumstances rather than titles and salaries.

My coaching approach is grounded in respect, curiosity and inclusion, creating a space where people can step back, reflect openly and explore possibilities without judgement.

I welcome and value the diversity of experiences, perspectives and identities that people bring to higher education and beyond. I am committed to fostering an environment where individuals feel heard, supported and empowered to make choices that are authentic to who they are and how they want to develop.

Throughout my career, I have been fascinated by what helps people thrive at work, reach their potential and find genuine fulfilment in what they do.

Working in higher education has given me the privilege of supporting colleagues and students at different stages of their professional journeys. I have seen the transformative impact that can come from creating space to pause, reflect and make intentional choices about the future. Whether someone is looking to reignite their enthousiam for their current role, overcome a sense of being stuck or explore a new direction, I am passionate about helping them recognise their strengths and build a path that feels both meaningful and aligned with who they are. Ultimately, my purpose is to help people create working lives that enable them not just to succeed, but to flourish.

The people I work with are talented, committed professionals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about their next step. They are often so focused on meeting the demands of their role that they have little time to reflect on whether their work is still aligned with their values, strengths and aspirations.

Through a process of reflection, support and challenge, I help people step back, recalibrate and gain greater clarity about what matters most to them.

Together, we identify strengths, uncover new possibilities and build the confidence needed to make intentional decisions about the future.

As a result, my clients move from feeling stuck or directionless to feeling empowered, purposeful and in control of their career journey. They become more aligned with their values, clearer about their goals and better able to create a working life that is both meaningful and fulfilling.

When people are aligned with their values, strengths and aspirations, they do more than improve their own careers. They bring greater energy, authenticity and purpose to the work they do and to the people around them.

Getting Started

Coaching is most effective when it begins with a conversation. A short introductory call gives us the opportunity to explore what is prompting you to seek coaching, discuss your goals, and consider whether I am the right coach for you.

» To get started, book a complimentary 30-minute online consultation «

There is no obligation to continue afterwards. It is simply an opportunity for us to meet, discuss your needs, and explore how coaching might support you. Following the consultation, you may wish to take up one of the coaching packages below or set up something bespoke.' Im happy to loose one of the other sections below if that makes more sense of the size of the site etc.
