/ABOUT

I work where therapy reaches its edge, and where leadership runs out of playbook.

Trauma. Turbulence. The people moving through either, and often, people moving through both.

The work looks different on the surface. A leader steering a company through crisis. A person rebuilding after something that broke them. A founding team that has stopped speaking. A couple finding their way back to each other. Underneath, it's the same craft.

The volatile, the uncertain, the ambiguous, the risky — most of what matters now lives here. Can you stay sure of yourself amid the turbulence?

That's the question trauma asks. It's the question turbulence asks. It's the question every important relationship in your life will eventually put to you.

The answer isn't grit, and it isn't strategy. It's the quality of the relationship you have with yourself, and through that, the quality of every relationship around you.

I call the work that follows from this Relationship Alchemy: the turning of the overwhelm, the stuck, the frozen, the unspoken and the avoided into something alive, vibrant, real.

How did I get here?

I learned to lead through turbulence the hard way, and early. I left home at fourteen, and spent the years that followed learning — by necessity — how to read people, hold ground, and find my way through territory nobody had mapped for me.

From there I built a 25-year career in Markets and Banking. Leading programmes. Turning around teams and businesses that had lost their way. Working inside Investment Banks, FinTechs, and ventures of my own. From the outside it looked seamless. Inside, I was code-switching, holding a perfectionism nothing could satisfy, and certain I didn't belong in the room. The early education had carried me — and quietly cost me.

Eight years ago I started volunteering with Hope for the Young, mentoring unaccompanied young people seeking asylum. My supervisor told me, gently, that what I was doing wasn't mentoring. It was coaching. That sentence rearranged the rest of my life.

I retrained. First into Enterprise Agile Coaching and organisational change. Then as an ICF-certified Human Potential coach — and over the years that followed, into trauma-informed work, relationship systems coaching, Gottman couples work and NLP. After roughly 500 client hours the underlying method had codified itself. The approaches you'll find across this site are what emerged — distinct, interconnected, and built around the one capacity everything else depends on.

What I'm known for

Helping people meet what most coaches step back from.

In the boardroom: leadership teams turning conflict into collaboration. Founders staying clear in the middle of crisis. Executives recovering their bearings after a fall. Organisations holding their culture through rapid change.

In private work: people moving past what therapy couldn't quite reach: stuck in old patterns, frozen places, the residue of things they once survived. Instead stepping into who they yearned to become, a version of themselves no longer organised around what happened to them, instead who they truly are.

The clients who come to me tend to be the ones already operating at a high level, and ready for more, wanting to scale up and meet the more that life is demanding from them.

I'm not the gentle entry point. I'm the coach you call when the ground is moving and you want to stay standing. And more than that, to keep choosing where to go next.

On a personal note…

I'm a yogi, a long-time meditator, a runner, a biohacker, an unapologetic Londoner. I co-host a radio show, Beats and Mind, with my husband Nav. I have a particular weakness for Type 2 fun — saunas, ice baths, mountains — anything that costs effort up front and pays you back in feeling alive. It's all practice for the same thing: choosing hard, on purpose.

In 2025 I achieved a lifelong ambition and spent a month trekking the Everest region of Nepal, summiting several peaks above 5,000m, and came home with a social enterprise in tow! Built around my guide Ripu and the villages we walked through, you'll find it in the store.
