Hello

I have dedicated my work as a psychologist to understanding creativity and innovation, and elite performance.

I coach senior leaders on the skills of creative leadership and lead workshops on the neuropsychology of creative practice.

I specialise in working with athletes, performers, visual artists, and crew as they navigate the challenges of the performance arena.

My work is client focused and practical with processes based in research and theory.

What I Do

Executive coaching

A focused one on one process that supports leaders to navigate the challenges they face.

The power of executive coaching is facilitated through the confidential relationship built for the purpose of developing your whole self, expanding your perspective and insight, and understanding how your psychological landscape can create obstacles to you leading and reaching your potential.

The relationship supports you to engage in purposeful dialogue aimed at developing skills, building leaderfulness, and delivering results.

Sessions offer the opportunity to engage in focused conversation that build reflective practices and value led action.
