I help organisations and their leaders navigate the human side of transformation—because lasting change isn't about processes and systems alone. It's about people.

As a Senior Culture Change and Employee Experience Consultant and certified Performance Coach, I bridge the gap between organisational ambition and individual resilience. I've spent years in the trenches of change management, and I've learned this: the organisations that thrive through transformation are the ones that invest in their people's capacity to adapt, grow, and perform at their best.

My approach is informed by both professional expertise and personal experience. I've faced my own defining challenges—job losses, business failures, serious injury, and the kind of setbacks that make you question everything. These experiences didn't just teach me resilience; they gave me an unshakeable belief in people's capacity to rebuild, redefine their trajectory, and emerge stronger.

This dual perspective shapes everything I do. Whether I'm working with organisations to reimagine their culture and employee experience, or coaching individual professionals and business owners through career transitions and performance challenges, I bring both strategic insight and genuine empathy.

What I Offer

For organisations, I design and deliver culture change programmes that put employee experience at the heart of transformation. I work with leadership teams to build the kind of workplace environments where people don't just survive change, they thrive through it.

For individuals, I offer one-to-one performance coaching that focuses on rebuilding confidence, developing effective coping strategies, and creating actionable pathways to your goals. My clients are professionals navigating transitions, entrepreneurs overcoming setbacks, and leaders who want to perform at their peak while maintaining their wellbeing.

Beyond the Work

I'm an avid traveller, dog lover, rugby watcher, and wine enthusiast. These aren't just hobbies—they're reminders that sustainable high performance requires balance, joy, and connection. This holistic perspective infuses everything I do, both professionally and in my coaching practice.

Working Together

I'm based in Reading, Berkshire, and provide in-person consulting and coaching across London, Oxfordshire, Hampshire, and Surrey, with virtual services available globally.

Whether you're an organisation facing cultural transformation or an individual ready to redefine what's possible, let's talk. Schedule a free consultation and discover how we can work together to achieve meaningful, lasting change.

A Note on Coaching

Coaching is not about working with someone who is better at something than you, who will tell you the exact steps to recreate their success, nah that’s mentoring. A coach understands people, what makes them tick and knows how to ask the right questions, at the right time in the right way to get the best out of you as the client.


Springbok Coach Rassie Erasmus never won a World Cup as a player, but he did lead a team to back to back World Cup victories. Not an easy feat, never achieved by any other coach. Ever. The best coaches get the best results from their people.


Great coaches don’t take your life and catastrophise it, we look ahead at your potential and the possibilities to help you move forward. We have vision. We can see the blind spots and the possibility of what you can achieve and create.

Please note that confidentiality and discretion are always guaranteed.

Coaching is not a replacement for therapy or other psychological interventions.
