I specialise in Career Change / Transition
I coach over zoom, each session is structured but open and I like to work with people with a completely open mind. My experience is very entrepreneurial, so expect some out of ordinary ideas.

I coach women in their 30's and 40's who are either going back into the workplace after maternity leave or women who are concerned they're not on the right track
I'm optimistic, creative and practical and help women to get off the hamster wheel of "I must do this" to allow them to take time to really consider what they want and not what others want from them. In short, I get women to think about themselves and really find out what they want from life and their career.
I support frustrated and unfulfilled mid-career professionals who have built a successful career, ticked all the boxes they were supposed to tick, but now wake up wondering "is this it?".
I support them to get clear on who they are and what is important to them, and to stop overthinking, get unstuck, and create a career they love.
On the whole my coaching approach is non-directive; I believe you are the expert in your life, and that you have everything you need within you. I provide the space, support and tools for you to uncover those answers. My clients describe me as patient and supportive, and I also like to provide gentle challenge in our conversations. We may dig into some deeper issues during our conversations, but we will usually share a laugh or two as well.
I support women in making successful change in their work lives. I offer one-to-one coaching, group coaching and online courses, both for individuals and organisations.
All based on my 3-C framework:
From your personal power you make confident choices and have more impact.
From your authentic self (values, purpose, strengths etc.) you make clear what you truly want in your work life.
You give direction to your work life in a balance that suits you.
I bring positive energy, empathy, a broad multicultural perspective and action-based approach. She Does It and so can you!
I provide 1:1 career coaching programmes, predominantly working with individuals who are:
I also provide interview coaching and job application services. (Prior to coaching I was a HR professional for 20 years working with multinational corporations across a range of industry sectors, specialising in recruitment and development.)
When working with me you can be confident that you will have a safe and trusting space where there is complete focus and presence with you.
My clients describe me as a guiding light through the highs and lows, showing both compassion and professionalism, whilst helping you to achieve your goals.
I offer bespoke executive coaching both face-to-face and remotely in central London, and internationally for Board Directors, Partners of Professional Service Firms, Senior Leaders and their Teams. Typically, I work with individuals at a point of personal or professional transition: newly promoted leaders; executives returning to work after extended absence or at a point of inflection where there are signs of a pattern of declining leadership/managerial performance.
I normally start with an assessment tool which enables me to tailor my approach to you and your situation. I draw on my learning and development background and business and coaching experience to meet you at your level, challenge you to move beyond your comfort zone in order to help you succeed.
I specialise in working with women in the financial sector or anyone who has thoughts about changing their career and /or workplace but doesn't really know how to go about it.
I have a positive and forward thinking coaching style. I listen to my clients and gently push them towards their goals.
We spend a high proportion of our waking hours at work and I believe that this should be both enjoyable and rewarding. With a focus on excellent performance I work with my clients to identify and apply the best version of themselves, regularly and consistently.
My clients range from graduates looking to be sure of which direction to take, promising talent dissatisfied or frustrated in their current role, returning mothers seeking to build confidence and find work that supports their life as a whole to people who have been in the same employment for over 20 years and are now considering a complete change in direction.
I use the Firework Programme as an opportunity to stop and take stock of who you are, what’s important to you and how you can best reflect this in your work. This may well results in a complete change of direction but it can also lead to simply redesigning a current role – or even looking closely at how you turn up at work and how to get the most from it.
I've got a knack for working with passionate individuals who've lost that career spark. I get it—when your work loses its charm, it's easy to feel adrift and unsure of your next move. Having myself experienced career changes across countries, I'll support you in navigating these uncharted waters.
My coaching style? Picture it as a structured journey, but with a sprinkle of lightness and fun. I carve out a safe, non-judgmental space where we can casually dive into reflections about your career desires, capabilities, and what truly motivates you. I'm here to listen, and because I'm deeply curious, together we'll unravel the puzzle through discussions. I'll bring my unique perspective, shedding light on aspects you might miss, and nudging you to look in different directions.
Sessions mostly happen online, but if you're around Strasbourg, we can meet in person. I can do the sessions in English, French or Portuguese.
With 15 years experience within international matrix structured organisations and 9 years based out of Dubai, I am passionate about the art, science and psychology that underpins my professional background and I believe that when companies and individuals act in alignment with their unique strengths, passion and purpose they unleash incredible creativity, innovation and potential that produces inspirational leaders and market leading companies. I enjoy supporting executives in achieving their boldest goals both inside and outside of the workplace.
