Having spent 20+ years in the boardrooms of large corporates and small creative agencies, I realised something was missing: Purpose.

In the pursuit of profit for others, I’d lost myself somewhere along the way. My empathic, individualistic and creative nature had been pushed aside in favour of a different version of myself: a muted ‘corporate version’. I didn’t like what I saw when I looked in the mirror. I knew I needed more, and I deserved more.

I took time to reflect on the pieces I’d lost along the way. Like many of us, I’d experienced bereavements, failed relationships, career highs and career lows. And I began to see a clear pattern: the best things in my life had happened when I was able to be the ‘real’ version of myself.

As Oscar Wilde famously wrote, “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” That quote stayed with me. Because whoever we are, and whatever we do with our lives, we stand the best chance of succeeding when we are living and working as our authentic selves. So why compromise?

Today, I am an accredited life coach, offering not just coaching but mentoring too, combining psychological insight with real-world experience.

Together, we’ll identify what’s holding you back, whether that’s self-doubt, limiting beliefs, or the pressure to be someone you’re not.

Then we’ll work to remove those blockers, so you can reconnect with the real you: the best version of yourself.
