Work with me: Organisations
When people thrive, organisations excel
As a leader you know that your people are your greatest asset. By investing in them you empower them to work at their full potential, not only gaining genuine satisfaction from their work but deliver real results for your organisation.
But every member of your team is an individual – so how do you support them in the way that best meets their needs? In a world where work-related stress, anxiety and depression are on the rise, it’s a challenge every leader faces.
With a background in business leadership, expertise in coaching and qualifications as nutritional therapist, I bring together a range of tools and techniques that get to the heart of the issue, spot the opportunity and create lasting change.

1-2-1 Coaching – “I was struggling with juggling my life and work after some significant changes to my job, and the corona virus lockdown. I was home with my child 24/7 and I felt a constant pressure to work and parent in new ways – I felt completely unbalanced, out of control and like I never had a minute to breathe. Deb helped me to explore the situation and to recognise new ways that I could find moments of freedom from the pressure and responsibility. She was excellent at guiding me to delve deeper into what I was struggling with. Her insights and approach helped me to recognise what I needed in those moments and take control. I can’t tell you enough about the benefits! Everything was at my pace, so I never felt any pressure, and I looked forward to our sessions and what I would learn from them each time.” – Senior Communications ManagerThe best thing I could have done
1-2-1 Coaching – “I was dealing with a difficult work situation that I’d never experienced before and it was impacting me both at work and at home.

She helped me to break the problems down and create specific action plans to help me tackle different things as they came up, as well as being a support to just talk things through with. I’ve had been having sessions for a couple of months and I genuinely don’t think I could have got through this without Deb. Her support and guidance has been incredible.” – Communications ManagerI was overwhelmed, frightened and lonely
1-2-1 Coaching – “In the very early days of lockdown I was in a bad place. I remember so clearly being sat in my garden on the phone with Deb and I could barely get my words out. I was overwhelmed, frightened and lonely. From that first conversation I knew Deb was the perfect person to support me. She’s calm, kind, an incredible listener but she’s also gently firm with you when you need encouragement. Deb works in a logical and clear way. She’s pragmatic and with that she helps you take practical steps to achieve a goal, at the perfect pace. Over the course of several weeks and sessions she helped rebuild me. I just wish I could have a mini Deb on my desk all day, every day!” – Communications ManagerApproachable, friendly and patient
Strengthscope Review – “I really valued my discussion about my career journey and what my strengths and weaknesses are and how to turn them into positives.

Resilience For Leaders Workshop – “Sometimes you don’t know what you need until it’s too late. And let’s be honest, that doesn’t work! I was lucky to be part of my leadership team that went on a Stress and Resilience course with Deb and it really opened my eyes and made a huge difference. Personally, I tend to keep things bottled up – which works for me mostly and that’s fine – but there are people In the workplace that aren’t wired that way, and Deb’s course really educated me on the nuances of others. Her manner, candour and patience were key to helping me and others to see how we can take ourselves and our teams through challenging times. If you think your team is struggling and could do with some reflection and guidance, Deb is exactly who you want!” – Senior Communications Manager, Financial ServicesYour support and guidance has been amazing
Group Coaching – “Your support and guidance has been amazing during 2020. We’ve been on such a rollercoaster together and I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to have held our hands as we gripped on tight. Nothing could prepare us for what we’ve all had to navigate but I know now, that if and when another lockdown comes, I’ve got all the tools and importantly the support, to navigate it. Our sessions very much gave a sense of comfort and support. The camaraderie with my peers has been invaluable and will continue beyond our sessions. You helped make a virtual connection very real and we’ve all felt the benefit of that.” – Project ManagerThe best investment that my employer has made
Group & 1-2-1 Coaching – “I had a lot on my plate, both personally and professionally. I was home-schooling a 4-year old with a toddler in tow and working full-time at home amidst the chaos! I also had an interview and some decisions to make about my professional development. Deb helped me to prioritise my own wellbeing and bring a calm, considered perspective to a really difficult situation. She coached me to renegotiate my working hours, which had an incredibly positive impact on my wellbeing, and boosted my morale and confidence when it was much needed. She has changed my perspective, way of thinking, helped me to listen, and encouraged me to believe in myself. She was and is an advocate, confidante, coach and cheerleader. Aside from their commitment to dynamic working, I feel that Deb is the best investment that my employer has made to my wellbeing in my eight years with the company.” – Communications ManagerA delight to work with throughout
Wellbeing Presentation – “Deborah delivered a keynote talk at our first ever digital wellbeing conference in January 2021 and was an absolute delight to work with before, during and after the event. Talking about her lived experiences with burnout, the session was inevitably fully booked to 250 max capacity on Microsoft Teams. Some of the comments from participants during the sessions were “a lot of what you said resonated for me and also a lot validated”, “absolutely loved that – thank you for sharing your experience”, “thank you so much, so useful and thought provoking”, “very inspiring, tears in the eye because of how relatable” and “I think a lot of us will recognize bits of this in ourselves.” I would highly recommend Deborah.” – HR Business PartnerWhy work with me?
There are lots of coaches out there. So why me? Well, because I’ve got extensive experience in the corporate sector where I worked in a high level leadership position. Because I’ve recovered from work-related stress and burnout and I know how to help others avoid it. And because I have invested a great deal of time in studying and practicing nutritional therapy and developing coaching techniques through work with a wide range of clients.
I won’t just listen to what you’re saying, I’ll also read between the lines to get to the root of what’s going on. And I’ll go direct to the heart of the matter so we can achieve positive results fast.
