I partner with senior professionals, teams and organisations, to strengthen leadership, change, neuroinclusive workplaces and business growth, personal and professional development. I support a worldwide client base, working mainly online with senior professionals and business owners, late diagnosed or self-identified during phases of transition and growth.  This may include navigating layoffs, securing and stepping into senior roles, leading teams or embracing the challenges of entrepreneurial freedom often while balancing family life.

As the majority of coaching is done online via zoom or google meet, coaching clients can be based anywhere around the world provided that our timezones enable us a time to meet. Should a session that suits your timezone not be available through the website booking system, please do not hesitate to reach out via email and suggest a few alternatives. Coaching is provided in English. I am also able to provide coaching in German.

Coaching sessions generally take place online using zoom or google meet. Coaching and blended strategic and creative services for startups and organsiations may take place in person upon request and agreement.

The time commitment will vary per individual. Depending on the individuals circumstances and goals, I will recommend one of the below coaching engagements: Six months, meeting twice monthly, 60 mins Nine months, meeting twice monthly, 60 mins 12 months, meeting twice monthly, 60 mins A lot of the major shifts, wins and growth naturally happen between sessions. The client sets themselves relevant work to do following each session. This may be a simple reflection or something related to the goals discussed during the session.

It utilises proven connections and communications framework to help clients better understand how they got where they are, how to reorient themselves to the bigger purpose in their life and leadership, and then collaborate with others to act upon it. Unique approach: A coaching relationship is a partnership of two equals Goal orientated with the client setting the overall coaching goals and the focus for each coaching session Sees the client as a fully capable, creative and resourceful who is fully empowered to obtain the answers and insight from within themselves with a coach holding them accountable Use of embodiment to further unlock perspectives if the client feels comfortable with that Further specialised in ADHD coaching from the ADD Coach Academy (ADDCA), completed the Advanced ADHD Coach Program for trained coaches with the ACCG Certification.

Although I mainly focus on adults, many of my clients have a family so this 10 week masterclass was completed in service of being able to coach the whole person and the system/s they are part of.

While both offer a safe, trusted, non judgemental and confidential environment, therapy is able to focus psychological issues, challenges and experiences whereas a coaching relationship involves a partnership of equals. It is goal orientated, a thought provoking creative process with a coach enabling a client to maximise their personal and professional potential. In coaching: The client will set not only the goals but the agenda for each session and is ultimately responsible for progress It generally focuses on the here and now and what the gap/s, challenges and limiting beliefs might be It may involve focus on gaining clarity, empowering through self reflection, visioning and growth, activating the relevant coaching resources and tools The coach and client work together to chart a plan towards the clients desired goals Therapy emphasizes psychopathology, emotions and the past to understand the present, and it works more with developing skills for managing emotions or past issues than does coaching.

Mentoring may include advising and counselling. There may be a level of hierarchy or a different level of experience of which the advising and counselling is based on. The coaching process does not include advising or counselling, and focuses instead on individuals or groups setting and reaching their own objectives through a thought provoking and creative process that inspires the client/s to maximise their potential.

This will vary depending on local tax laws. It is therefore advised to clarify that response with a local tax expert.

Yes I do. Having experienced the powerful impact of coaching myself, I would not want anyone to miss out on coaching that really needs it.
