My career hasn’t been linear, and I know many others experience the same.
For more than 25 years, I built a career in HR and Talent Development, supporting people through growth, change, and transition. Whilst it looked as if I had my life and career sorted, I experienced career drift.
Throughout it all, I held onto one simple belief: If you want something to change, you have to change something. That belief guided me, even with this later-career move into coaching. It helped me to reflect and rethink what mattered most, to make more intentional choices about how I wanted to work and live my life.
Coaching didn’t just become my next career move. It helped me reconnect with a sense of purpose, direction, and fulfilment that had been missing for some time.
Looking back, I wish I’d recognised the signs of career drift sooner.
Today, I bring together my coaching, HR, and Talent Development experience to help others do the same, particularly those working in HR and people-focused roles.
My role is to help you pause, think clearly, and move forward in a way that feels aligned with who you are now, not who you were ten years ago.

Coaching with me is collaborative, reflective, and gently challenging.
We’ll agree how we work together, including how you like to be supported and where you’re open to being stretched.
My role isn’t to tell you what to do or hand you a perfect answer. It’s to help you think differently, ask better questions, and uncover the patterns or assumptions that may be keeping you stuck.
Listening Beneath the Surface
Often the challenge isn’t what you’re saying, it’s what sits underneath it.
Together, we’ll explore the beliefs, expectations, habits, and internal narratives that shape how you see yourself, your value, and your options.
Many of my clients discover that the answers they’re looking for are already there; they simply haven’t had the space to hear them.
Turning Insight Into Action
Insight matters, but coaching also needs movement.
Together, we’ll work through the conversations, decisions, and actions that will help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and intention.
Because career direction rarely changes by accident.
