About me

I am passionate about helping people to succeed and thrive in their personal and professional lives.

 

For over 25 years as a management consultant, I worked as a trusted advisor to senior clients on their most complex challenges. That allowed me to develop a deep understanding of the complexities and opportunities of professional working environments.

​

I worked for the same management consultancy for 16 years before focussing on coaching. I was the first female consultant at the organisation to return to work post-maternity leave and the first person to work part-time, so I understand the challenges of juggling an interesting and demanding career with a young family.

​

To this professional experience, I add strong knowledge of psychological theory and interventions from my studies in coaching and positive psychology. Positive psychology aims to enable individuals, organisations and societies to flourish, with an emphasis on building wellbeing and resilience, topics so relevant and important to our professional and personal lives.

 

As part of my MSc I conducted research into Impostor Syndrome in Management Consultants. It provided insights on the triggers, coping strategies and the role of the organisation in supporting its people. The findings are also applicable to other professional services firms to help them increase wellbeing for individuals and encourage diversity of thought across the organisation.

​

Clients greatly value my breadth of professional experience and psychological insights. I know what it is like to work in demanding roles and I understand that any plans and actions need to be practical for the environment and team you are in. I provide a safe, trusted and appropriately challenging environment to help you build self-awareness, clarity and focus on your coaching goals.
