Me

I know what it’s like to feel stuck in a career that looks impressive on paper but feels totally off inside.

I spent many years, living in Brighton & Hove, working in corporate and international tax — working in Big 4 firms and FTSE 100 businesses, leading complex restructuring and finance projects internationally. I was recognised as a high performer… with a growing sense of feeling unfulfilled.

After trying multiple pivots and redefining success on my own terms, I now do work that energises me and makes a real difference. I know that’s possible and I want the same for you – whether that’s a total reinvention or a subtle shift.

I’m an Associate Certified Coach with the International Coach Federation, a career coach in Brighton, trained with the Co-Active Training Institute, and a licensed Careershifters & Firework Advanced Certified Coach (Career Change) and as a One of Many™ Certified Women’s Coach (Leadership). I also bring over 35 years of performance experience to my work, supporting and challenging clients in creative, human, and deeply impactful ways.

You’ll find me coaching 1:1, leading workshops and retreats, and working with organisations like Careershifters, where I’m a leader, coach and facilitator on the Career Change Launch Pad (the world’s longest-running group-based career change course) and manage their career change communities.

On paper, I’m also a Chartered Tax Advisor, Tax Technician, and Law graduate from the University of Sussex.

Off paper? I’m a musical theatre performer and director, Co-Founder of Kids Theatre Club (Brighton), writer of odd skits and musicals, hiker, book nerd, and a big fan of God.

Small talk bores me. Real talk lights me up.
