Welcome - I’m glad you’re here.
My work is grounded in a simple belief: leadership and professional growth are not about quick fixes or performance alone, but about clarity, judgement and sustainability over time.
I work alongside leaders to understand their context, pressures and priorities, supporting growth that is practical, evidence-informed and grounded in lived experience. This includes drawing on insights from the neuroscience of leadership to understand how stress, cognitive load, decision-making and emotional regulation shape leadership practice in real-world settings.
My approach is informed by experience and research, not abstract models or idealised leadership narratives. It integrates leadership development, wellbeing, positive psychology and neuroscience to help leaders think clearly, make sound decisions under pressure and lead sustainably over time.
If you are navigating leadership pressure, managing change or seeking a more sustainable way forward, this page reflects how I work and what I value.

I believe leadership and organisational growth are sustained not by pressure, performance or personality, but by clarity, judgement and wellbeing over time.
My work is guided by a commitment to leadership that is human, ethical and sustainable. I focus on helping leaders and organisations navigate complexity with confidence, make sound decisions under pressure, and build cultures where people can thrive without burning out.
This perspective is shaped by lived leadership experience, evidence from leadership research and neuroscience, and a deep respect for the dignity and wellbeing of those doing the work.
I work with leaders through writing, speaking, coaching and facilitation.
As an author, I explore the real pressures leaders face - workload, burnout, moral tension and system demands - and offer evidence-informed ways forward grounded in practice, not theory alone.
Through coaching, workshops and leadership sessions, I create spaces where people can think clearly, reflect honestly and reset how they lead. My approach blends research, neuroscience of leadership, and lived experience to support practical, sustainable growth.
The aim is always the same: work that is meaningful, grounded and immediately useful.
My work is grounded in the highest professional and ethical standards. I am an ICF Credentialed Coach and align my practice with the International Coaching Federation’s Code of Ethics.
Confidentiality, trust and psychological safety are central to how I work. I take great care to ensure that conversations remain private and respectful, creating space for honest reflection, clarity and growth.
