Coaching for Senior Professionals
I coach people at all stages of their careers - from first-time CEOs establishing themselves in the role to experienced heads of department working to strengthen their practice.
Whether you're navigating a new appointment, facing specific challenges, or investing in your ongoing development, I offer tailored, honest coaching that meets you where you are. Leadership and management in the cultural sector is demanding work - often under-resourced, high-pressure, and genuinely complex. Getting coaching support isn't a sign of weakness; it's one of the smartest investments you can make in your effectiveness, resilience, and long-term success.

Coaching offers a space to be truly seen - a place where you can be more vulnerable, try out different ways of thinking and being, and sit with discomfort for the purpose of learning and growth. My role is to be your thinking partner, offering a safe, reflective space where you can explore, gain clarity, and take meaningful steps forward.
I believe that growth comes from the ability to be open and to truthfully self-examine. Through coaching, we can better identify and overcome the challenges, fears and habits that hold us back, develop greater self-awareness, and take action with more intention, empathy and clarity. This allows us to think and collaborate in ways that are freer, more adventurous and richly rewarding - ultimately leading to more productive relationships, successful outcomes and greater impact for you and your organisation.
My approach blends warmth, practical sector experience, and evidence-based coaching theory. I use a variety of coaching techniques tailored to address your real issues and maximise your potential. Whether you're navigating a transition, working to overcome patterns that aren't serving you, or seeking to increase your impact and influence, I'm here to help you turn insights into lasting, positive change.
