For Me, It's More Than Coaching

It’s a trusted partnership curated around the goals, circumstances, and style of my client.

Whilst my job title might be simplified to Executive Coach, what I bring to my clients is intentionally more than that.

There will be coaching, strategic advisory, sharing of experience, a valued sounding board, and more – consider it a blend, just like a good cuppa!

There’s no standardised approach here – we adapt to ensure great outcomes.

My Approach: A Partnership That Matters

With 20+ years in banking, most of those as a director, and nearly a decade coaching senior leaders, I understand the pace, pressure, and isolation that accompanies life at the top.

My coaching approach is combined with leadership insight, strategic advisory, and practical guidance, bringing together experience and expertise to meet your needs.

I bring sharp thinking, commercial acumen, and grounded support to the table; not just as a sounding board, but as a true thinking partner. You can expect stretch, reflection and momentum.

With all that said … the real magic is in the partnership. How we both show up, combining our insights and motivation for achieving your desired outcomes.

My Values: What I Stand For

I hold these values dear. They underpin any service delivered, and also what I look for in clients too. Alignment in values is key to a partnership delivering great results.

Excellence: I hold high standards, care about the detail, and stay accountable to progress that matters. Our work should always lead you somewhere.

Integrity: Doing what’s right also means being honest, even when it’s not easy. I won’t push what doesn’t fit, and I’ll say what needs saying.

Courage: I ask the hard questions and name what’s often left unsaid. I’ll walk with you through the uncertainty and push your thinking when it counts.

Authenticity: I don’t do façades. I bring my real self and invite my clients to do the same. That means real connection and powerful conversations.

Care: This is the foundation of everything. How I prepare, how I listen, and how much I invest in each conversation. Care isn’t soft. It’s practical and real.

The Golden Thread

Here I share a personal insight into what’s driven me throughout my entire career history, and how that shows up in my work today – the golden thread connecting it all.

Recognition & Impact

Whilst I’m much more comfortable championing others than putting myself in the spotlight, but recognition has come my way and I’m embracing it, just as I’d encourage my clients to.

In 2025, I was named Winner of the Professional Services category at the Female Business Awards. And in 2026, I was selected as one of the UK’s 100 most inspiring female entrepreneurs through Small Business Britain’s f:Entrepreneur #iAlso100 campaign. What an honour!

Beyond my coaching work, I also serve as a Non-Executive Director for Map Room, a Sunday Times Fastest Growing Company and as a Trustee for a local Food Bank – roles that keep me around the leadership table and on my toes.

My Team: Small, But Perfectly Formed

It might seem like it’s me doing all the work, but there’s a brilliant team sat alongside me.

A trusted team of trusted and hand-selected associate coaches; experienced coaches with real leadership backgrounds – for when an assignment needs extra hands or a different approach.
My wonderful sister, Jennifer, who happily sits in the background helping keep me sane by being a whizz at all things admin and efficiency.
And let’s not forget a whole array of freelance service providers – our network of small businesses who support each other running and advancing.

Beyond The Desk

I love a countryside walk with my pal Lexi, and a cuppa at great independent cafes. Living on the Lancashire-Yorkshire border there’s plenty of footpaths to choose from.

I can also be found attempting to grow my own veg, cultivate a garden, and design a stylish home – although the results never quite match the vision!

Family and friends are dear to me, and I’ll often be spending time one-on-one catching up, swapping stories, and enjoying a laugh.

With the little time remaining you might find me enjoying a spot of retail therapy in local towns, or cosying up with the latest detective drama (recommendations welcome).

Author of Two Books

I’m proud to have two books out there helping people in some way.

First was 2019 bestseller ‘Have It All Without Burning Out’, a no-nonsense guide to stress, burnout, and resilience.

Followed by its companion ‘Confidence Confessions’ in 2022.

Both are available in all formats. Third book pending … maybe!
