About me
For more than a decade, I've worked at the intersection of business, sustainability and innovation, building businesses, developing teams and helping organisations navigate growth and change.
I've experienced the excitement of building something from scratch, the pressure of ambitious targets, the complexity of leadership and the uncertainty that comes with organisational change.
I've also seen first-hand how difficult it can be to create meaningful change when the systems, habits and ways of thinking around us aren't changing too.
But my career hasn't always been a straight line. I've experienced periods of questioning, transition and burnout, and had to rethink my relationship with ambition, recognise my own limits and ask what I really wanted from my work and my life.
Becoming a mother added another dimension. Like many working parents, I've had to navigate the tension between professional ambition, family, time and the desire to be present for the people who matter most. These experiences have shaped how I think about careers, leadership and change.
Success isn't just about achieving more. It's about creating a way of working and living that is sustainable, meaningful and genuinely fulfilling.
How I found coaching
Coaching first became part of my own journey at two pivotal moments in my career. Both times, having someone outside the situation who could listen, challenge my thinking and help me see things from a different perspective was incredibly powerful. I found the experience genuinely transformative. It made me realise how valuable it can be to have dedicated space to think, particularly when you're facing a difficult decision, navigating change or feeling stuck. I became increasingly curious about what was happening in those conversations and why they could have such an impact. Eventually, I wanted to learn how to create that same space for other people. That's what led me to train as a coach.
Finding success on your own terms
I don't believe there is one definition of a successful career. For some people, it means progression and leadership. For others, it's changing direction, finding more purpose, creating greater flexibility or simply enjoying their work again. Sometimes it means wanting more. Sometimes it means deciding that more isn't what you want anymore.
And sometimes the challenge is figuring out what would bring back a sense of energy, meaning and joy. I believe our careers should support the lives we want to live, not the other way around.
For people who want to make a difference
Much of my career has been spent working on sustainability and helping businesses find new ways to create positive impact. That experience has shaped how I think about change.
The biggest challenges we face aren't only technical. They're human. Creating change requires people who can question assumptions, navigate complexity, make thoughtful decisions, have difficult conversations, bring others with them and stay resilient when progress is slow. And I believe meaningful change starts from within.
The more grounded, self-aware and intentional we become, the more effectively we can influence the people, organisations and systems around us.
This is why I'm particularly drawn to working with change-makers: people who want to build something better, lead change or use their work to make a positive difference.
You don't have to work in sustainability to be one. What connects change-makers isn't a job title. It's the desire to make things better.
What I bring
Business experience
I understand the realities of the working world you're navigating because I've lived them.
I've built and led teams, developed businesses, worked with clients and senior stakeholders, managed performance and navigated organisational change.
That experience gives me context. You don't need to spend half a coaching session explaining why a particular situation is difficult.
A perspective shaped by change
Moving from France to the UK taught me early on what it means to adapt, start again and find your place in a new environment. I've also had to return to work after maternity leave, leave a company I loved because the timing wasn't right, navigate burnout and rethink what I wanted from my career and my life. My career has taken me through very different transitions, from commercial roles into general management, from building businesses to developing people and organisations, and ultimately into coaching. These experiences have taught me that change isn't always about knowing where you're going next. Sometimes it's about accepting that something that once worked no longer does, letting go of something you care about, or finding a new way to balance different parts of your life.
Professional coaching training
I trained as a business and personal coach through Barefoot and am a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF). My development includes 300+ hours of coaching training and practice, alongside ongoing professional development and supervision. My approach draws on systemic coaching, NLP, mindfulness and other tools that allow me to adapt the coaching to you.
A human approach
I don't believe in one-size-fits-all coaching. Some sessions might involve challenging a belief or assumption. Others might involve making sense of a difficult situation, exploring emotions, recognising patterns or turning an insight into a practical next step. Sometimes you need to think. Sometimes you need to feel. Sometimes you simply need someone to ask the question you've been avoiding.
What matters is that you have a space where you can be honest, think deeply and move forward.
Business experience gives me context. Coaching gives you space.
Together, they create a place where you can step out of the day-to-day, think differently and explore what comes next, without having to perform, defend your choices or have all the answers.
My aim isn't to help you become someone else. It's to help you become more grounded in who you are, what matters to you and how you can create a career and life that feels successful on your own terms, while having a positive impact on the world around you.
I believe there is always another perspective to explore, another possibility to consider and more joy to be found in the life we're creating.
