I am an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) with the International Coach Federation (ICF) and my personal and professional experiences have fuelled my passion for helping individuals and teams discover clarity, direction, and purpose enabling them to uncover unique strengths and unveil the path that aligns with their values and pleasures.

Many coaches can assist you in reaching your goals, but I offer more than just guidance. As a reliable partner, I am committed to helping you transcend to the next level. Together, we will develop tools for your self-development that are not only effective in the short term but also sustainable for the long haul. I will help you discover your true purpose.

Prior to starting Destinations Coaching I had over 2 decades experience in people management, coaching leaders, inspiring teams with a vision and driving departments through change. I am passionate about helping people to be the best they can be whilst remaining true to themselves.

My relationship with Ikigai (Japanese wisdom relating to finding valuable purpose in your everyday life) has transformed over the years. Initially seen as a quick fix for answers, I’ve learned to embrace it with calm and patience. Having spent decades in the corporate world, chasing big goals and short-term gratification, I was perplexed by Ikigai. It isn’t about fitting into a diagram; it’s about stepping back, reflecting, and finding your ‘why’ in everyday moments.

There are no boundaries on what someone’s Ikigai might be. Mine include my family, my role as a coach, and …..that Friday evening glass of wine especially if I’m sat in the sun.

I am privileged to deliver professional coaching services including workshops to individuals, groups and teams who have a desire to optimise their self – development opening the doors to a more meaningful and fulfilling life. 

I believe everyone has the ability they need to succeed and achieve everything they want. You are the expert on you, and I offer you my expertise so we can collaboratively work on drawing out those abilities that will add value to you. I will help remove the things that are preventing you from accessing your own internal resources and get you where you want to be.
