how am i qualified?

I’m an ICF-accredited coach (ACC), currently working towards my PCC — a globally recognized certification requiring over 500 hours of professional coaching experience. The International Coaching Federation (ICF) sets the global standard for coaching excellence and ethics. I'm also a Gallup Strengths Certified Coach, helping clients uncover and leverage their natural talents for aligned success.

Since 2022, I’ve coached over 50 entrepreneurs and founders — as a coach, advisor, investor, and mentor — with a deep focus on soul-led leadership, resilience, and purpose. In 2024, I was named Female Start-Up Business Coach of the Year by SME News UK, and was also a finalist in the StartUp Awards UK 2023.

Coaching that reconnects you to the work and the person you actually want to be.

This isn’t high-performance coaching that pushes you harder.

It’s soulful coaching that helps you go deeper — so you can lead, grow, and build with clarity, not chaos.

Whether you are a female founder or self-employed, running your own start-up can often feel overwhelming and challenging.

Without a mentor, manager, or coach to cheer you on, it is very easy to lose sight of your talents and value as well as why you started your start-up in the first place!

Did you know that mindset blockers and various confidence-crushers, such as self-limiting beliefs and imposter syndrome, may rear their ugly heads, stopping you dead in your tracks? This is why you need someone in your corner.

how does it work for you?

  • Is this You?

    • You’ve achieved a lot.

    • But now you’re stuck, spiraling, or simply… tired.

    • You’re navigating a big shift — a new role, a restructure, a company pivot, or maybe a total identity crisis.

    • You’re doing “all the right things” but feeling less connected, not more.

    • You're leading people, but struggling to lead yourself.

    • You want to grow — but not at the cost of your values, your wellbeing, or your sanity.

    Coaching with me is where you bring the real issues: the fear, the ambition, and the messy middle. Together, we will make sense of it.

  • This isn’t a one-size-fits-all framework.

    But here’s what coaching with me often includes:

    • Reconnecting to your why, your values, and your voice

    • Rebuilding emotional resilience after burnout

    • Navigating high-stakes leadership with confidence

    • Managing identity shifts (especially in startup life)

    • Leading culture with clarity — even during chaos

    • Defining success on your own terms

    We don’t just talk. We do the work — with tools, reflections, and practical shifts that create real momentum.

  • What Starts to Shift

    As we go deeper, things begin to move.
    You’ll start noticing the patterns — the ones that push you to overperform, stay silent, or carry more than you should. And then? We change them.

    You’ll feel more grounded in your decisions, more honest in your leadership, and more spacious in your day-to-day.
    You’ll begin showing up — not with a polished persona, but as your actual self. And it’ll feel good.

    This phase is about expanding without burning out. Healing without hiding.
    It’s where growth meets grace.

  • The Real You at the Front

    Leadership isn’t just a title. It’s how you move through the world.
    And when you lead from alignment, people feel it. They trust it. And most importantly, you do too.

    In this stage, we anchor the habits, mindset, and boundaries that support you long-term — whether you’re building a team, a company, or a new version of yourself.
    You’ll leave with clarity, not just strategy. Integrity, not just influence.

    Because the real flex?
    Is leading in a way that doesn’t cost you your soul.
