Therapeutic Coach
If you've ever felt like you're holding yourself back, but can’t quite find the words to describe why, you're in the right place.
​
I'm not offering a quick fix or a one-size-fits-all approach. I know we all need more than that to create lasting change. I'm offering a real, lived experience and a proven path from anxiety, overwhelm, and self-doubt, into clarity, confidence, and genuine self-worth. Because I've been where you are.
​
For 15 years, I built a career as a fashion buyer. And on the surface? It looked great. But underneath it all, I was living with functioning anxiety, overthinking every decision, second-guessing myself constantly, never quite feeling good enough. I was getting through the days, ticking the boxes, but feeling lost and increasingly unhappy.
I knew I wanted something else. I just had no idea what.
​
When I was put at risk of redundancy, I realised the thought of getting the job filled me with more dread than not having a job, so I took the redundancy, with no plan of what was ahead. Just the quiet knowing that staying stuck where I was filled me with more dread than not knowing what came next.
​
That leap, from a career I'd outgrown to a life I actually chose taught me everything I now use to support my clients.
​
I know what it's like to not feel good enough. To overthink yourself into paralysis. To feel like you're the only one who doesn't have it figured out. To want change but have no idea where to start.
​
The difference is, you don't have to do it alone, I certainly didn't. I've done the training, learned the tools, and lived the process myself. I worked with a therapist and coach, and I continue to do so. Now I get to help other women do the same.
​
Because I genuinely get it. I know what it's like to be stuck, anxious, and unable to see a way forward. And I know what it's like on the other side.
​
I'm not here to tell you what to do. I'm here to help you figure out what you want and give you the confidence and self-belief to go after it.
