About me

I am passionate about supporting female leaders in finance & accounting to sort out their work/life balance so that they can live a normal life again.  

I have nearly 20 years of experience supporting CFOs and their teams as a senior finance recruiter. As such I understand the unique challenges of this profession and recognise that today’s finance leaders are under more pressure than ever, playing a pivotal role in driving outcomes for their organisations. 

But all this can come at a cost…  A recent study conducted by caba, the well-being charity for ICAEW members, found that more than half of accountants surveyed said they were suffering with stress and burnout and 79% identified stress and poor mental health as a major problem within accountancy.  I want this to change.

I believe it's important to do work which offers us fulfilment, meaning and purpose. I also believe it's important not to sacrifice our wellbeing, our relationships and our health for our work. Life is too short and too precious for this.  

My 'why' is to help those who are losing themselves to work. Those who are struggling in stressful, demanding, long-hours jobs, to make the changes they need to start living again and get their spark back.

I am degree educated and an ICF approved Coach. I have the Certificate in Professional Coaching Practice (ACSTH) and the Certificate in Career Coaching, both accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). 

My approach

I offer a professional service tailored to suit your requirements but always with the aim of getting you results. I work in partnership with you, bringing support, motivation and also challenge. By nature, I am genuine, warm and reflective and I love one-to-one conversations. It is this very approach combined with my previous career success that my clients value and which delivers the results they are seeking. 

Other interests and projects

I am passionate about health and wellbeing and have had a lifelong fascination with the human condition. I practice yoga every day and enjoy good food and drink, films and reading. Having lived in Australia for nearly 10 years I also like warm weather! 

I volunteer with Brave Starts, a CIC that supports the over 50s with career change. 

And last but not least, I enjoy spending quality time with my husband, two young children, family and friends.
