Our mission together isn't to make extraordinary things happen, but to make the place for extraordinary things to unfold.

I support other humans for a living. Deep meaningful connection is at the heart of all that I do.

My career started out on the front line of homelessness services in local government. My days were often spent beside people who’d lost everything or had lived in the grip of poverty for years. It was raw and overwhelming. Looking back now, I think most days, I felt inadequate, but deep down, I knew I’d found my calling. Those moments taught me something: the deep resilience in people and how being truly listened to, given space, offered choice, and handed opportunity shapes the way we live our lives.

This fuelled a determination in me and I went from working on a central government initiative to founding an award winning charity and business dedicated to offering the support I felt that people deserved. It continues to make a difference today. Here I discovered the passion in me to change the script rather than follow the old one.

The more I learn, the more I realise how much I don’t know. Questions fuel me: How can I understand myself better? What can I give? Why does someone act a certain way? And how do I find the right words for what matters? I’ve learned to listen deeply, not just to what’s said, but to the spaces between words. Beneath every story lies a hidden thread, waiting to be uncovered.

I develop myself along the way, curiosity ever by my side. This has led me to do years of in-depth study, building the experience essential for this work, including a post-grad in counselling and psychotherapy, as well as training in somatics. I’ve also developed a deep passion for facilitation. I love playing with space, ideas, and creativity, bringing more joy into teams. and businesses. My aim is to support people to live well, speak their truth, and walk their talk.  I feel like I live and work in the in-between, the spaces where all these elements overlap, finding a home in the middle. It all feeds in, shaping how I connect and influence the relationships I have the privilege of nurturing, as well as those yet to come.

I do a number of things now. I run a private therapy practice in London one day a week. For the past 8 years, I’ve worked as an Executive Coach. My work with people is the heartbeat of everything I do and who I am. For over 6 years I have worked in a team that deliver and design experiential workshops for an organisational trauma consultancy. I always keep my focus on working with a small group of people at a time. That’s my rule.

In 2025, I will launch a side-project with my best friend called “what if” a series of gatherings and workshops, an invitation to uncover those questions that quietly linger in our background.

I believe change takes courage, and messy is often the path that leads us there. But it’s in giving ourselves that intentional space, to pause, to wonder, to explore, that something shifts. Then comes the moment when our eyes light up, as we realise the space we’ve created is unlocking what we’ve been yearning for.

In my spare time you might find me running, in the mountains or deep in conversation with people. I’m English and live in London, though I’ve spent a few years abroad. I travel as often as I can, soaking up the mix of people, place, and culture. It’s where some of the best moments of my life have unfolded.

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you find what you’re looking for here. I look forward to knowing you.
