Life Coaching for Your Next Chapter

Navigating midlife with clarity, not crisis

Whether you're a professional questioning your career or life direction or a business leader seeking to support your team's wellbeing and development, I create the space for meaningful transformation.

You're Not Alone in Feeling Stuck
I Understand Your Journey

Midlife can bring unexpected questions. That comfortable career suddenly feels confining. You find yourself wondering "Is this it?" whilst yearning for something more meaningful. Perhaps you're considering a complete change but feel overwhelmed by possibilities or paralysed by uncertainty. These feelings are more common than you think. And there's absolutely a way forward.

{{brizy_dc_image_alt imageSrc=

I know what it's like to question everything and start again. After decades in IT, I made my own career transition to become a professional coach in 2018. Having faced and overcome my own limitations, I bring a unique perspective to career transition coaching and executive coaching. My approach is grounded in genuine empathy.

I'll Believe in You Until You're Ready to Believe in Yourself

My coaching creates what I call pure, unbiased space. This is a place where you can explore possibilities without pressure or judgement. This isn't about quick fixes or forcing outcomes. It's about discovering what truly matters to you.

My approach blends deep listening with practical wisdom. You'll find yourself reframing challenges, seeing past perceived limitations, and tapping into potential you perhaps didn't know existed.

How We Can Work Together

1:1 Coaching

Life coaching or career or transition coaching tailored entirely to your circumstances and pace.

The Second Act Blueprint

A small group programme (6-8 people) for professionals aged 40+ exploring what comes next. My life coaching is perfect for those who sense they want something different but can't quite articulate what.

Corporate Workshops

Wellbeing, leadership development and executive coaching for teams ready to invest in meaningful change.

Everything begins with conversation. No scripts, no pressure, just genuine exploration of where you are and where you might want to go.

Ready for Your Next Chapter?

The process starts simply: a 30-minute discovery call where you can share what's on your mind without commitment. From there, we'll decide together how to move forward. For more information about life coaching and career transition coaching, please see my ‘Why Work with me’ page.
