A journey from Founder to Business Psychologist & Coach
I moved to the UK and started two more businesses, building teams from scratch each time. Different country, different market, same lesson repeating itself: being good at what you do gives you confidence but nobody automatically hands you the people skills that come next.
By this point I was eager to understand myself and my teams properly, so I went and studied it!. I completed my MSc in Business Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire, finally getting the evidence-based grounding for everything I’d been figuring out on instinct for a decade.
I started my leadership coaching practice, bringing together the psychology and the lived experience of actually being the person who had to have the hard conversations.
Since then, I’ve worked with first-time managers across SMEs and delivered training for organisations including John Lewis, Taylor Wimpey, SC Johnson and many more.
I’m also an accredited Belbin Practitioner, which means I don’t just help you with what to say I help you understand why your team behaves the way it does, and where the friction is actually coming from.
If you’re newly promoted and quietly overwhelmed – managing people who might even be former peers or friends – I’ve built my whole career around exactly that moment.

Five ways to work with me
One-To-One Coaching
Tailored and focused coaching built around you and your specific situation.
Together, we build the mindset and skills you need to lead effectively: from assertiveness and clear communication to handling conflict, coaching your team, and overcoming your inner critic.
Team
Coaching
Facilitated sessions that help your team build self-awareness, understand how they work best together, and perform at a consistently high level.
Tailored to where your team is right now and where you want it to get to.
Belbin Team
Roles Workshops
A fixed, three-step package that turns official Belbin reports into a working map your team can use every day, not a PDF that gets filed and forgotten.
Manager
Academy
A 3-month highly-practical online programme for managers who want to get properly equipped, not just pick things up as they go.
Twelve live sessions covering all the skills you need to navigate the real complexities of leading a team – from difficult conversations to delegation, feedback, and everything in between.
Online Short courses
Bite-sized, self-paced courses designed to help you practise one crucial leadership skill at a time.
Each course takes around 15 minutes and includes video instruction and explanation, so you’re not just completing exercises; you actually understand the thinking behind them.
Every course comes with a workbook to help you apply what you’ve learned straight away.
The first step is a free 30-minute call
No pressure, no pitch. Just a conversation about where you are and where you want to go.
