[ ABOUT ]

I’m a coaching psychology practitioner (MSc), supporting people through pivotal moments of transition.

I help people build confidence, navigate barriers, and move forward in their personal and professional lives.

My specialism is movement-informed psychological coaching, integrating physical activity with insights from coaching psychology, neuroscience, and physiology.

My background spans decades of experience in consumer insight and strategy, alongside sports coaching. The common thread throughout my career is a fascination with human behaviour: what motivates us, shapes our decisions and aspirations, and influences our capacity for change. This curiosity continues to inform my work today.

[ PRACTICE ]

My coaching practice encompasses three complementary strands:

/ Career and Life Transition Coaching

Supporting people through periods of change and uncertainty, whether navigating a career shift, rethinking their direction or exploring deeper questions about identity, purpose and what comes next. Through my programme, The Motion Method, I help people develop a clearer understanding of who they are and what matters to them, build the confidence and resilience to navigate change, and move forward with greater clarity and purpose.

// Cycle Coaching

Supporting people to learn to cycle, develop their skills, and build confidence on two wheels. Though my company, Bike Happy, I help people overcome barriers to learning through a fun, patient, and tailored approach. I have a particular interest in working with children with additional educational needs, where understanding, flexibility and personalised support can make all the difference.

/// Fitness Coaching

Supporting people to improve their fitness and wellbeing, helping them lead healthier, happier and more active lives. I offer one-to-one coaching tailored to individual goals, alongside group fitness classes that encourage people to move more, connect with others, and enjoy the benefits of being active.
