A Little About Me
I’ve always been someone who instinctively looks out for others, noticing who might need a little encouragement, making sure everyone feels included and valuing the different strengths each person holds.
That instinct has stayed with me throughout my career. From winning a Commonwealth Gold, representing my country at an elite level and swimming the English Channel, both as part of a team and solo... to working in high-pressure London investment banks and helping to scale a financial SME, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside a wonderfully diverse mix of people. Whether leading teams or being part of them, I’ve always valued creating environments where people feel supported, encouraged and able to be themselves.
Alongside my career, I trained as a professional chef and launched my own business. I’ve had the opportunity to experience Michelin-starred kitchens and a completely different kind of pressure, teamwork and achievement. Each of these experiences has given me another perspective on the challenges we face in work and life and the many different ways people find their own path to success.
I have lived experience of neurodivergence and it is more common than many people realise.
Around 1 in 5 people are thought to be neurodivergent - roughly twice the number of people worldwide who have blue eyes.
Yet for many people, neurodivergence can still feel like something that sets them apart, rather than simply being another part of human diversity.
I volunteer as a listener for a suicide prevention charity, which has deepened my appreciation of the importance of being heard without judgement. Sometimes, having someone genuinely listen, create space and remind us that we don’t have to navigate everything alone can make a profound difference.
True success doesn’t have to mean sacrificing your wellbeing, yet finding that balance can be incredibly hard to navigate on your own. We can feel trapped by the rigid 'shoulds' and 'musts' of how things are 'supposed' to be done. That’s why I retrained as an ICF-accredited ADHD coach. I bring together my professional background, my own lived experience and my history as an elite sportswoman, alongside the unique insights I’ve gained from supporting people from all walks of life over many years, to help you find a path that actually works for you.
My role is to create a safe, supportive space to think - perhaps for the first time in a while - about what you really want, what matters to you and what your true potential might look like. Together, we look forward, finding practical and realistic ways to move towards a life and work that feels right for you.
