Coaching & Mentorship
Drawing on thirty years of training, collaborating, and creating, I offer a safe, non-judgemental, intelligent and sensitive space for you to grow.
It’s space to be seen and heard, to ask questions, to reconnect with passion and self-belief. The answers you’re looking for are inside of you. I help you hear them, and be brave enough to listen to what they say.
I offer three ways of working.
- Momentum Coaching
- Artistic Mentorship
- Journey to Belonging – A bespoke programme for Boarding School Survivors (follow this link for more information)
What’s the difference between Momentum Coaching and Artistic Mentorship?
They overlap, but have different focuses.
Coaching is ‘bigger picture’. It’s about personal and professional choices. We’ll identify your purpose and chart new ways to align with it. It’s starts with inner work – removing blockage and reigniting passion. We’ll empower you to be who you most want to be.
Mentorship is more project-focused. I use my experience to guide you as you develop a specific project or a personal practice. I help you make your next professional step, providing an experienced outside eye on the specific creative work you’re undertaking.
All my work is based in Self-With-Others – a framework for thriving in an interconnected world. Our objectives will be defined by you.
It’s your time, your space and you make the final choices.
I support you as you do.

Momentum Coaching (single or multiple sessions).
I create a space without judgement where you can explore and dissolve the things you’re putting in your own way. Inner change and outer change are connected. Together we’ll identify and move beyond your blockages, and put momentum back into your personal and professional life.

The fire is the heart of what makes you, you. It’s your gift to the world. Together, we’ll explore practical strategies for reconnecting with passion and bringing it, fearlessly, to the world.
