Behind the senior title and corporate salary, many professionals navigate a silent storm: High-functioning loneliness.
You have the lifestyle you are told to be grateful for.
But behind closed doors, you deal with hidden pain or grief, a fracturing relationship, or intense anxiety.
I help senior professionals transition from Mid-Life Crisis to Mid-Life Creation.
My Journey to This Work
I taught for 26 years in New Zealand and London. In the final three years, I served as an in-house coach, partnering with colleagues to fulfil potential and navigate workplace stress. Following this success, the governing body funded my credentials: a Postgraduate Certificate (PG Cert) from Chester University, in partnership with Barefoot Coaching.
My Life-Changing Pivot
My capacity to hold space for deep emotional pain comes from intense lived experience.
In September 2019, my mother was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease. I flew to New Zealand, resigned from teaching, and spent eight months by my parents' side until mum passed away peacefully. Caring for them confirmed my ability to lean into difficult situations and support people through life's most painful chapters.
Returning to London in June 2020, I focused entirely on coaching.
A few months later, my father was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor and passed away in February 2023. In September 2023, I was diagnosed with testicular cancer. I got lucky—it hadn't spread, and my surveillance remains completely clear. A year later, I ended an 18-year relationship, divorced, sold the house, and started to rebuild - again.
I understand pain. I know how hard it is. You are not alone.
These compounding storms taught me how to build true emotional resilience. I know what it feels like when health, family, relationships, and identity face a sudden, violent crisis.
My Mission:
• Empower professionals to protect their emotional wellbeing and design their next chapter.
• Support individuals to live fully through stressful, painful, and changing times.
• Guide clients as they shift from quantity living to quality living.
• Restore deep meaning, hope, and resilience during life's darkest seasons.
Whether you face career plateaus, workplace stress, a health crisis, a painful relationship transition, or the isolating weight of grief—you do not have to walk this path alone.
