Before training as an Executive Coach, I built a successful and fulfilling career at Skanska UK, most recently at leadership level.

My experience spans Recruitment, Learning & Development, and leading the Emerging Talent function.

During my 12 years at Skanska, I earned four promotions and worked closely with leaders across the business. I recruited around 2,000 people, giving me a front‑row seat to how leaders choose who to hire, develop, and promote.

I’ve lived through the spectrum of workplace challenges - the pressure and overwhelm, the people puzzles, the career twists, the mis‑alignment, and the wins that make it all worthwhile.

Alongside thought‑provoking coaching questions, and work around values and emotions, I also draw on three evidence‑based coaching tools and theories:

Neuro-linguistic programming techniques help shift unhelpful thinking patterns, reduce overwhelm, build confidence, and improve communication and influence.

Transactional analysis (TA) - is especially useful at work because it gives people simple, practical ways to understand themselves and others.

I use concepts such as Ego States and Recognition to support clients with improving the quality of day-to-day interactions. Together, we spot triggers, shift unhelpful patterns, so that you can respond with more choice.

Cognitive behaviour coaching (CBC) helps clients understand how their thoughts shape their feelings and behaviours — and then consciously choose more helpful patterns that improve performance and wellbeing at work.

Three words to describe my coaching style based on what my clients say: practical, deep and thoughtful.

Coaching with me is so much more than a chat about your ‘‘to do’’ list. My aim is to create a balance between slowing down to make sense of your world and generating new practical resourcefulness for each person.

I am always guided by organisational and individual requirements and ROI expectations.

In my most recent role as Head of Emerging Talent, I was responsible for the recruitment, onboarding and development of hundreds of graduates and apprentices.

From this experience, I am confident that coaching can effectively support Gen Z integration, engagement, progression and retention in the workplace.

I hold a Certificate in Neurodivergent Inclusive Coaching (ICF accredited). My coaching toolkit includes productivity techniques to unblock task paralysis and to build momentum for goal completion.

The act of talking helps ease the mental load and the often critical inner voice, supporting those with heightened emotional sensitivity.

Guided by ethics as my north star, I recognise that I’m not the right coach for everyone. When a client’s needs sit outside my experience or confidence, I draw on a small pool of trusted associate coaches who can step in and offer the right support.

I bring in guest coaches for some of the group sessions for early‑career professionals and aspiring leaders. Their presence adds fresh perspectives, variety, and a richer diversity of thought to the experience
