Since 2016 I have run two businesses around my young family and have found added to my existing expertise with a PGCERT in coaching as well as becoming one of less than 100 Master Certified Coaches in the UK.
I've also come dangerously close to burnout during this time: managing multiple businesses, having a young family and feeling responsible for paying lots of salaries put pressure on me to do more.
A TIA / Mini stroke in March 2023 was the wake up call I needed to implement all of the things I talk to my clients about.
Now I work less hours and my well-being is higher, I made sure I got the right support and lean in to what I need.
I embody the work I do with my clients.
So how did I get there?
When you look back you can connect the dots: Psychology have been my passions since my teens I first came to coaching when I was at university and learned about it as a leadership technique but went no further, 5 years later when I was managing teams and not getting results I went back to my text books and started using a coaching style which got results (and less resentment from my team!).
Throughout my adult life I've committed to my own development and have a Masters in Psychology and Education alongside a PGCERT in Coaching and many other qualifications. Since 2019 I've also been training coaches in the methods that I use with clients in my ICF accredited school Optimus Coach Academy which has a reputation for having a high quality training approach and has produced nearly 500 graduates.
I'm the coach who immerses herself in knowing about how the brain works and positive psychology approaches to enable you to get amazing results and I've even written a best selling book about my work too (published through Wellbeck)
What makes me UNIQUE?
01
DIVERSE EXPERIENCE
I've had three successful careers: starting off in recruitment and sales helping set up offices in New York and Europe I know the pressure of a fast paced, sales environment.
I then moved into Education spending over 10 years as a consultant and senior leader and completing a national leadership development program learning about leading diverse teams in challenging circumstances.
Now I'm a business owner and am in the top 1% turning over 7+ figures and having managed and lead hybrid and remote teams across multiple countries and overcome many challenges!
02
REAL RESULTS
My clients get results: they transform how they think, feel and act through the work we do together. Many of them are leaders in their fields and see the work we do together as their secret weapon : I often end up working with partners and siblings as people value the changes that they've made to their thinking.
03
PSYCHOLOGY
I have a Masters in Psychology as well as qualifications and training in Positive Psychology, Neuroscience, Mindfulness, Personality types, CBT, Nutrition, Energy work and NLP and have a deep understanding of the brain and how to support you to make lasting change through neuroplasticity. I know how to structure effective sessions and provide thinking space so you can make better decisions and solve problems more effectively
04
COACHING
I'm a master certified coach with the ICF and I train people in coaching: It's something I have had considerable (over 10,000) hours in and have worked across a range of contexts including as an internal coach.
My high level of skill and experience mean I tailor what I do to meet your individual circumstances.
05
COACHING
When I work with clients I support and challenge you. My role is to be your thinking partner and this means that you'll be doing deep work. You will be different at the end of our time together.
06
LIFELONG LEARNING
I've always worked with my own coaches and commit to my own development and learning having coaching supervision and mentoring to ensure I'm working ethically and professionally.
Life is a journey and I am far from the finished article I model a commitment to well-being and performance.
