Coaching helps you navigate transformation, big or small. You might find coaching valuable in these situations:
Life changes: starting or ending a relationship, hitting a milestone, or beginning a new role.
Career goals: exploring a career shift, improving work-life blend, or resetting after redundancy.
Professional growth: stepping into or advancing in management or leadership roles.
Personal goals: enhancing fitness, wellbeing, or overall joy in life.
Coaching is about making positive changes and requires your full commitment. You don’t need a major event to seek coaching—just a desire to grow and improve.
Coaching is best suited for those who have already addressed any significant issues requiring counseling or psychotherapy, such as anxiety, depression, or trauma. If you’re receiving therapy or treatment, consult with your therapist to ensure coaching complements your current plan. Please note, I am not a trained counselor or therapist.
My favourite quote to sum up the difference between a coach and a mentor is:
"A mentor has great answers for your questions, a coach has great questions for your answers"
My role as a coach is to offer insightful questions, frameworks, and tools to help you identify your goals, overcome obstacles, plan for change, and reflect on your progress.
With a decade of coaching experience embedded in my HR and people leadership roles, I bring a wealth of practical knowledge and have completed numerous coaching training programs. I am currently in the process of earning my professional coaching credentials, and to reflect this, my personal coaching rates are significantly discounted during this certification phase.
I am certified in several tools used in my practice, including:
Hogan Personality Assessments
Emotional Culture Deck
I get a real buzz out of helping people to present themselves in a way that shows their true value and potential.
My CV & job application services will include a deep dive into your strengths, who you are and what you want out of your next role, as well as working with you to plan and review your new CV, cover letter & Linkedin profile.
As a people professional, I know what hiring managers are looking for, and how you can make your application stand out.
Transitioning out of and back into the workplace for the first, second or even fifth time is a huge adjustment, and yet you are generally expected to just take it in your stride!
Pre- and/or post- parental leave coaching can help you address the feelings arising about the change and help you work through what will be different for you and how to embrace this, and mitigate for the things you are worried about.
You know those moments in your 20s and 30s when you think - "is this it?". You've worked hard, made some progress in your career, your life is good on paper, but just feels like it should be more satisfying.
Others around you seem to know what they want and are charging off successfully ticking off milestones, and you feel like you're plodding along.
I've been there! And I return there on a regular basis - we're all a work in progress. Come and work through your quarter-life crisis with someone who gets it.
The people profession can be incredibly demanding, with emotional labor and high pressure leading to significant burnout rates. Just as counselors, therapists, and coaches benefit from supervision, those in HR and people roles deserve similar support.
Whether you need:
Additional mentoring for a people team member,
