About Me

I’m a leadership advisor and ICF-accredited coach working with leaders and teams across charities, public services and impact-focused organisations.
​
My background is in education and international development: teaching, leading schools and advising organisations across the UK, Europe, Africa and Southeast Asia. Much of that work happened in environments where the stakes were real and the margin for error was small. Decisions had consequences.
​
That experience shaped how I think about leadership.
​
I’m less interested in ideal models and more interested in judgement — how people make decisions when priorities conflict, pressure is high, and there isn’t a clean answer available.
​
My role now is to create the conditions for clear thinking.
​
I help leaders slow situations down, understand what they’re actually dealing with, and move forward with decisions they can stand behind — not because they’re easy, but because they’re considered.
​
Living with long-term health constraints has also reinforced my belief that good decisions come from working honestly within limits rather than pretending they don’t exist.
