Who my coaching is for

This coaching is for experienced HR professionals who are capable, committed and deeply invested in doing their work well - but who are feeling the cumulative impact of pressure, complexity, and scrutiny.

It’s for those navigating challenging environments, unboundaried or dysfunctional leadership, and the emotional weight that often comes with being the one who holds it together.

You don’t need help with the technical side of HR. You already know your craft.

What you may be seeking is space - to think clearly, reconnect with your confidence and make grounded decisions about how you lead and what you’re willing to carry.

It’s particularly well-suited to people who are willing to look honestly at their inner experience - and how it’s shaping their work - without self-blame or judgement.

This coaching isn’t HR skills training or professional development in the traditional sense.

It isn’t therapy, and it isn’t about quick fixes or performance optimisation.

It’s also not about being told what to do, or being given a set of answers to apply.

The work is reflective, thoughtful and grounded - and is participative and engaging rather than instructional

Where we focus

Our work centres on what’s really happening beneath the surface of your professional life - not just the visible challenges, but the internal impact of carrying them.

We often focus on:

The erosion of confidence and self-trust that can come from constant scrutiny
Overthinking, self-doubt, and the pressure to get everything right
The emotional load of navigating conflict, contradiction, and complexity
Patterns of over-responsibility and holding more than is reasonable
Reconnecting with your judgement, authority, and sense of what’s right for you

The aim isn’t to 'toughen you up' or push you through.

It’s to help you feel steadier, clearer and more grounded - so you can respond thoughtfully rather than constantly reacting.

How I work

My coaching is delivered exclusively one-to-one. There is no group coaching, no shared space and no divided attention.

All sessions are held on Zoom, making the work accessible, consistent and easy to fit alongside demanding roles.

This creates a calm, confidential and contained space where you have my full focus - and where you can slow things down, think clearly and speak openly - in a space that feels relaxed, at ease, and genuinely supportive.

We work at a pace that suits you. There’s no pressure to rush insight or force change. Instead, we focus on creating enough steadiness for clarity and insights to emerge and decisions to become simpler.

I bring structure, challenge where it’s helpful and deep respect for your experience and judgement.

This work is thoughtful, practical and rooted in real-life experience.

The coaching container

I offer this work through a three-month, one-to-one coaching container designed to provide consistency, depth and enough time for meaningful change.

The work is entirely bespoke. Each coaching relationship is shaped around your role, your organisational context and the specific challenges you’re navigating - rather than a fixed curriculum or formula.

This time-bound container creates focus and safety. It allows us to work steadily and thoughtfully, without rushing or forcing outcomes, while still maintaining momentum.

The program is often a turning point - not because it pushes for transformation, but because it gives you the space, support, and perspective needed to make clear, grounded choices about how you want to work and live.

Next steps

If this way of working resonates, the next step is simply a conversation.

There’s no obligation and no pressure to commit. It’s an opportunity to talk through what you’re navigating, ask questions and explore whether this coaching feels like the right support for you.

If it is, we can discuss what working together might look like.

If it isn’t, you may still leave with greater clarity about what you need next.
