I know first-hand what it’s like to juggle a busy life with a brain that doesn’t always want to play along.

​

For years, I lived with a head full of racing thoughts, half-finished lists, and that constant feeling of being pulled in every direction. I did all the things you’re 'meant' to do - got a degree (in Criminal Justice) and then a Master’s (in Criminology and Criminal Psychology)  and built a career that was interesting, if a little all over the place.

 

But even with all that, I never quite felt like I fitted in.  I’d replay conversations in my head for hours, wondering if I’d said the wrong thing, and constantly question why everything felt harder than it seemed for everyone else.

​

When I was diagnosed with ADHD, so much finally clicked into place.  Suddenly there was an explanation for the chaos, the intensity, the brilliant bursts of focus followed by total brain fog and, more importantly, there was a way forward.  I learned that with the right support, tools and mindset, life doesn’t have to feel like a constant uphill struggle - it can actually feel joyful, purposeful, and a lot more easeful.

​

That’s what led me to train as a coach.  I wanted to help other people (and those who love, support, or work with them) make sense of their minds too.  To find what works for them, not just what they think they 'should' be doing.

​

My coaching style is down-to-earth, collaborative, and sometimes gently challenging.  I mix evidence-based approaches with humour, empathy, and a big dose of real-life practicality.  Together, we figure out how to quiet the noise, get unstuck, and move forward in ways that feel good, not forced.

​

Before coaching, I spent many years in both IT and the craft spirits industry, leading sales and brand development.  I’ve also worked for the police (as a Restorative Justice Facilitator) and as a scuba diving instructor so “eclectic” might be an understatement.

 

All those twists and turns have given me a deep respect for how people tick, how we adapt, and how purpose often shows up in the least expected places.

​

Outside of work, I live in Marlow, Bucks with my husband and two daughters.  I’m a keen runner, love a good murder mystery, and firmly believe that seasonal snacks are the best kind of food!
