Coaching
& Mentoring
Self Leadership
Know Thyself
Who you are and what you offer are needed in the world. These are yours to embrace and express, and for the world to receive.
Coaching and mentoring support this process of seeing, and embracing you, your gifts and your sacred work.
It enables you to face and embrace uncertainty, track down your hidden power, and re-integrate it.
Crucially, there is nothing missing in you. Instead, it’s ‘simply’ a matter of re-minding and re-aligning with your whole self.
My approach offers a brave space of compassion, trust and presence for experiential learning and dynamic growth.
Our work in this space unfolds through an interweaving of enquiry, self-discovery, experimentation, expansion, embodiment, determination…and choice.
And that is what will enable you to feel fully energised, engaged and good about how you, your sacred work and your life flow together harmoniously.
“The world will ask you who you are, and if you don’t know, the world will tell you.”
How are you? Really
Time to Evolve
You are evolving. You recognise the old world that is dissolving, and can envision the new one forming, and you want to play your part in that evolution.
You possess a strong sense that ‘there is more than this’ in Life, within you and through you. You know what is important to you, yet are possibly unsure how to express it best in your work.
You may feel frustrated – or motivated – by what you are perceiving in the world, even if not quite able to put your finger on it. You may have started questioning what matters most and how best to make a stand for it.
You wish to be a person of value, influence and example in your world. You may have been feeling too isolated, overwhelmed and distracted to feel fully alive, balanced and effective. You are committed to your own growth, while seeking a fresh energy, perspective and approach.

Align & Rejuvenate
Our relationship is a dedicated space of compassion, non-judgement and confidentiality. It’s a co-creation that is respectful, brave and honest for you to explore the unknown – as well as what you feel is already known and in need of a refresh.
I am with you through the process to open up to what’s true, meaningful and possible for you. Non-judgement is essential in holding firm while being flexible to your needs.
We would start with a free introductory call (20-30 minutes) to connect and find out whether we want to work together and how.
My work can be unconventional and is customised, so we would explore and agree what works best for you. Typically, we would meet weekly or fortnightly, online or in-person.
My eclectic approach is organic, intuitive and generative. At the same time, my work is grounded in and supported by tried and tested tools and models from the worlds of coaching, mentoring, profiling, healing and well-being; and also embodied from my own life travels and experiences of different world cultures.
In particular, clients with whom I have used the Enneagram and Gene Keys frameworks and tools have loved the clarity these ‘maps for self awareness’ have provided.
I also receive supervision and accountability from my own coaches, mentors and peer groups.
Below are examples of how we could work together. To explore further and design what works for you, contact me here.
However we decide to proceed, I will be bringing the whole of me to meet the whole of you. We will get to the heart of what’s true and essential for you. In true ‘coddiwompling’ fashion, we will move purposefully towards an as yet unknown destination – of meaning and value in your life to live its worth fully.
How we meet:
- up to 75 minutes: online, phone or face-to-face
- 1st conversation: orientation, intention, exploration
- sessions 2-5: going deeper over time with reflective practices
- final conversation: integration and commitments for your new way forward
- (potentially) continue the work – single sessions or a package on a ‘drawn down basis’ (as and when needed) over an agreed period
The process:
This is a process that requires dedication and practice of willingness, gentleness, courage and patience. What emerges will be supported to find its right place.
What can be possible:
- Slowing down, orientation, allowing deeper realisations to emerge.
- Working with challenge, letting go, unlearning, creating space for what next.
- Invited and gently challenged to look into your blind spots, to step into the ‘void’ of the unknown and face your own Shadow and Inner Critics.
- Thinking and acting with awareness, intention and attention; integration of dedication and practices for what you now wish to show up in the world.
Benefits include:
- how it benefits you to embrace uncertainty
- greater confidence, capability & competence
- a deeper sense of wholeness
- more clarity in making meaning and taking decisions
- fuller self expression, expansion & lightness
- what happens when you re-member your true nature
- what’s possible when you re-direct new-found energy & other resources into a Life of greater intention & attention
How we meet:
- 1st conversation (75 mins): orientation, intention, exploration
- half day ‘walk-the-talk’ (and space for silence) in Nature: typically in-person; and can be done as a phone call
- follow up conversation: integrating ideas and practices for your new way forward
- (potentially) continue the work / every 2 weeks / bundle of sessions

- observation of what is happening
- discerning what actually matters
- assimilation of what is essential in this situaion
- disentangling content from context
Benefits include:
- sense of relief and lightness to be heard not judged
- seeing the obvious that we can’t always see for ourselves
- more clarity in a current decision
- knowing and owning the next step in the current situation
If not us, then who?
From Ego
to Eco
We are being called as leaders across sector, culture, generation, gender, race, old-to-new, inner-to-outer, to step with curiosity, kindness and courage into different thinking, that boldly makes a stand for what matters most.
We can and must shift “from ego-system to eco-system” (Otto Scharmer, Leading from the Emerging Future) to innovate regenerative ways of relating to each other and living together.
Your greatest gifts to the world flow through your authentic health, value, joy and fulfilment. To be fully alive in this world is both your personal reward and service to humankind.
“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs.
Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” ~ Howard Thurman
