Helping you find a way forward in work, life, and sport
Whether you’re navigating a point of overwhelm, seeking meaningful change, or pursuing a sporting goal such as a marathon or triathlon, I support you in creating a clear path forward.
My coaching is grounded, collaborative, and focused on building your confidence, capability and resilience. Together, we explore what matters most to you, identify practical steps, and develop sustainable habits that enable lasting change, at a pace that works for you.
Through TRI-Xtra, my performance and development approach, I combine coaching, reflection, and values-based behaviour change to provide a structured, integrated framework. Tailored for individuals, teams, or athletes, TRI-Xtra helps you gain clarity, build confidence, and achieve meaningful, sustainable results across work, life, and sport.
I am an EMCC EIA Accredited Professional Coach and a British Triathlon Personal Coach. My work is guided by the EMCC Global Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct. I am also the founder of TRI-Xtra, a performance and development approach to coaching.
To complement my coaching practice, I bring experience from working in complex environments. I understand what it feels like to hold responsibility, make decisions under pressure, and keep going when energy is limited. I focus on helping you make thoughtful, practical changes that create a lasting difference.
If you’re curious about coaching or wondering whether it could be helpful, a conversation is often the best place to start. There’s no obligation, just an opportunity to explore what might work for you and see what feels right.
