What Do I Bring?
I don’t just hold space — I’ve spent two decades earning the trust to do it well.
My work is rooted in real-world experience, deep listening, and the belief that clarity comes from being met, not managed.
I bring:
✅ A background in coaching, mentoring, and relational support
✅ Two decades of experience across sectors, industries, and high-trust roles
✅ A deep respect for nuance, complexity, and the inner life
I work with people who are capable and quietly overwhelmed. Who are tired of holding it all together and need a space where they can finally put something down.
This work isn’t about fixing. It’s about remembering.
Why I Work This Way
Sitting as Managing Partner of my pharmaceutical consultancy, at the end of a year-long project, hearing glowing feedback from a hard-won client — it should have felt like the pinnacle. But instead, it felt like closure.
Not because it didn’t matter, but because I realised my purpose wasn’t just to deliver impact alone — it was to walk alongside others as they did. Success on its own wasn’t enough. I needed to use it to serve.
I asked the client what made the biggest difference. He said: “You listened.” That stuck.
That realisation shaped everything that followed. The Rooted Way emerged not from theory, but from showing up — fully — for others and for myself. From learning to listen inwardly, live rhythmically, and build businesses in alignment with life, not in spite of it.
I believe we’re not meant to navigate this alone. I’ve seen too many good ideas burn out, not for lack of effort, but for lack of support. Especially among local entrepreneurs and solo business owners trying to carry it all.
Connection, regulation, agency — these are the cornerstones of sustainable leadership. They’re also the roots of thriving communities. And they start with knowing yourself.
My work blends strategic partnership with deep personal reflection. Practical business mentoring with nervous system awareness. Presence, not performance. Support, not a saviour.
It’s not a programme. It’s a pattern — one that empowers people to move forward with clarity, confidence, and a stronger connection to what truly matters.
How Sessions Work
Each session is rooted in conversation — but it’s not casual. It’s deeply attuned.
We start with where you are — not where you think you should be.
Sometimes that means slowing down. Sometimes that means naming something that’s been unspoken for years.
I listen for patterns, tension, and truth — then reflect it back in a way that brings clarity.
There’s no rigid framework. But there is structure.
You don’t need to prepare. You don’t need to impress.
You just need to show up — and let yourself be met.
What Tools Do I Use?
I’m trained in many modalities, including coaching — but more than that, I’m trained by life.
My work draws from:
✅ Humanistic psychology and coaching principles
✅ Nervous system awareness
✅ Two decades of cross-sector experience in high-trust roles
I don’t use a single modality — I use what’s needed in the moment.
That might be a question.
A pause.
A walk.
A reframe that shifts the whole conversation.
The ‘tool’ is attunement.
And the skill is knowing when to use it.
Why Work With Me?
Because you don’t need another high-performance coach telling you to optimise.
You need someone who can hold space for the human behind the high-functioning.
I work best with people who carry a lot.
The ones who are strong, capable, and tired of holding it all alone.
They don’t want a cheerleader.
They want a mirror. A pause. A partner in clarity.
That’s what I offer.
Professional Overview
With over two decades of professional experience, I bring a breadth of cross-sector insight that grounds my work in both strategic understanding and human depth. My background spans global pharmaceuticals, the voluntary and not-for-profit sectors, engineering, and the criminal justice system. I’ve held board-level roles, led multi-functional teams, and delivered high-stakes projects in contexts where trust, nuance, and clarity are everything.
I now draw on that diverse experience to support clients navigating growth, transition, and uncertainty — helping them align their businesses with their values and lead from a place of grounded confidence. My approach blends strategic thinking, operational understanding, and relational intelligence. Whether we’re working through a business decision or a deeper recalibration, I meet you where you are — and walk with you to where you need to go.
