Background

I always remember being told I’d never have a ‘proper career’ because I moved from job to job so frequently.

I struggled in my relationships with colleagues, had difficulty communicating and speaking up for myself, felt completely misunderstood and undervalued by my managers and team. I now recognise that this was all because of my [then] undiscovered neurodivergent needs. I frequently got bored, felt the work wasn’t challenging enough, inadequate support, burnt out and consequently could never reach my potential.

To make sense of my work struggles, I earned a Post Graduate Certificate in Human Resource Management, blending my psychology background with my interest in workplace dynamics. My varied experience has given me a unique set of skills to support my clients - I can pick and choose which ones I need depending on the client/coachee/project.
