My Background
I began my career as a town planner, working in London, Yorkshire and Australia, before moving into planning recruitment in 2002.
Throughout my recruitment career, I found myself naturally drawn to the coaching side of the role, supporting individuals at every stage, from graduates to senior directors, as they navigated career decisions, challenges and opportunities.
​
Alongside my professional work, I have spent many years working with young people through sport. I co-founded and developed a junior netball club in Calderdale and coached the local college team. This experience gave me a real insight into the pressures young people face and the importance of confidence, support and guidance. I have supported many young adults beyond the court, helping them navigate decisions about education, work and their future direction.
In 2026, I decided to focus fully on coaching, bringing together years of experience supporting people through change, uncertainty and achieving their goals.​
My Approach
I offer a calm, open and constructive space where you can think clearly, talk things through/explore the relevant issues and move forward with confidence.
My approach is:
• Supportive and constructive
• Practical and realistic
• Structured but flexible
• Focused on helping you take action
Why I Do This Work
I’ve seen how being stuck, uncertain or unfulfilled in your career or life can impact every area of your wellbeing.
Coaching provides a neutral sounding board to reflect and move forward with a clear action plan.
