A working life worth having

I'm a psychologist and coach. Before this, I spent thirteen years working, eight of them in HR. I know how work looks from the inside, not only from the books.

Where are you right now?

Different stages, same question: how to make work fit the life you want.

  1. Starting out

    Is this the right direction?

    First jobs and early career. You're working out what you're good at and what you actually want.

  2. Changing course

    Stay, change, or leave?

    Mid-career, a career change, exhaustion, or the move from employment to working for yourself.

  3. Leading

    How do I lead without losing myself?

    Managers, leaders and business owners carrying responsibility for others, and for their own results.

How we can work together

Coaching

Structured conversations about where you are and where you want to go. You set the direction; I help you think it through, decide, and act.

Psychological consultation

When something at work is weighing on you, such as stress, conflict, exhaustion, or a decision you keep circling, a psychologist's view helps you understand what's going on and what to do next. This is not therapy.

I don't offer psychotherapy. If what you bring needs it, I'll tell you and help you find the right specialist.

A psychologist who has sat on the other side of the HR desk.

Studying psychology since 2008, and applying it to my own life first. Thirteen years of work in different roles, so I know work from experience, not just from books. Eight of those years in HR, where I watched hundreds of careers stall, turn and take off.
