The thinking partner for big-hearted professionals ready to rebuild
Lifting you up and out of the noise so you can follow your true path
Why work with me?
You dream of feeling calm and clear about what you want and how to go and get it.
You’re tired of going round in circles, replaying the same thoughts and never changing anything.
You’re ready to find a new way of working and living. A life where you are excited to start everyday feeling grounded and purposeful. One that feels meaningful AND sustainable.
A life where you’re doing work you love and have space to breathe, rest, and truly live.
You CAN take a different path and live a happy, healthy life on your own terms
When life throws you off track, it’s hard to know where to begin again.
Since leaving my medical career, I have…
Moved abroad twice - first to Belgium for 3 years (then back to Hampshire, UK) then to the USA for 4 years (and back to Surrey, UK where I live now).
Become a mother twice. The first time while being diagnosed with and recovering from pleural tuberculosis).
Survived emergency surgery for a twisted ovary.
Moved house more times than I can count.
Worked in many roles. Charity worker, teacher, Pilates trainer, medical writer and a stay-at-home mother (the hardest, undervalued yet most rewarding work of all).
Each chapter has stretched me in unexpected ways and reminded me that success isn’t a straight path, and it doesn’t look the same for everyone.

Maybe you're standing at a crossroads, questioning everything that once felt certain.
You’ve always been capable, driven, and caring — the one others turn to. But now, after a big life shift, you’re not sure what’s next for you.
I know how disorienting that feels — because I’ve been there too.
I started my career as a doctor.
It was meant to be a calling, a lifelong path. But instead of feeling fulfilled, I felt trapped - like I was on a train heading somewhere I no longer wanted to go.
So I did the unthinkable: I stepped off.
Leaving medicine was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made.
And that was just the beginning.
Coaching changed everything for me.
It helped me stop searching for the perfect answer and start listening to myself again.
I discovered an inner well of resilience and wisdom I didn’t know I had.
And I realised: I was already resourceful, capable, and more than enough.
I also realised the world is so much bigger than my vocational career path, and so was I.
I spent years figuring out who I was beyond my job title. I tried different paths, lost confidence, and slowly rebuilt it.
Honestly? I wish I’d found a coach much earlier. It would’ve saved me years of self-doubt and second-guessing.
I’m on a mission to help other compassionate, hard-working professionals rebuild their lives after big transitions.
To redefine success on their own terms.
You do not need to follow someone else’s road to success.
Today I help caring, high-achieving professionals, many of them doctors reconnect with who they are and what they want, whether they stay in their original career pathway or not.
I create space for you to tune into your life, desires, and wisdom, beyond the expectations of your work.
Your training prepares you for the job you’re learning to do. But it doesn’t get to tell you what type of person you choose to be, or where you choose to work, or how you wish to use you experience, knowledge and skills.
“Life is what happens when you’re making other plans”.
John Lennon
Even for those people who do everything by the book, life will throw us surprises. I believe it’s how we adapt and grow to our messy human experience that really matters.
Coaching makes it easier to look after yourself, when you’re busy taking care of so many others.
It helps you come back to yourself, so you can make clear, intentional choices and create a life that truly fits.
To help you get the most out of your coaching experience, this is the framework I use.
Everyone I work with is unique, and your coaching will be bespoke to you, using elements of this approach.
You will be given the right environment and evidence-based tools for to get clear on where you want to go, to take action and begin cultivating your dream life.
How I work
Ready to take a big deep breath, feel your shoulders drop and see the clouds disperse? That’s what us working together often feels like.
People tell me it’s easy to talk to me. I’m naturally curious, and I love to listen , wholeheartedly and without judgment, to people’s stories.
When we work together, you can show up just as you are. No need for professional masks or polished answers. Just space to explore what matters to you and uncover new possibilities.
Helping to unpick thoughts, feelings and behaviours is one of my strengths. I believe there is wisdom is all of us, and we just need a little help finding it at times.
In case you were wondering.
I am a certified coach with Wellcoaches School of Coaching, where I learned many different models and evidence-based approaches to coaching.
I am fully insured as a coach.
I am on my way to getting my ICF ACC accreditation.
I have a Bachelor of Medicine from The University of Southampton and completed my Foundation Year 1 training at Salisbury District NHS Trust in 2009.
