Coaching that empowers and unlocks your potential
With a vast choice of coaches advertising their services, it can be challenging to decide which coach to choose. As an ICF certified and accredited coach with a background in medicine, education and finance, I am passionate about using my skills and expertise to create a profound and lasting impact on people’s lives.
Living and working on different continents has provided me with a wealth of life experience and, coupled with my professional coaching qualifications, has equipped me with a non-judgemental, open-minded approach that gets measurable results.
“A man’s mind stretched to a new idea never
goes back to its original dimensions.”
Oliver Wendell Holmes 1809-1894
Coaching to reframe challenges as opportunities
During numerous hours of coaching I have observed that clients underestimate their potential and see challenges as obstacles rather than opportunities. The coaching journey helps them uncover their ability to identify strengths and address perceived limitations.
I am a true believer in the positive impact of coaching. Empowering my clients to trust their ability to find the answer to their questions is key. I support my clients to identify SMART goals and develop an action plan to move forward. Check out the Frequently Asked Questions to read more about SMART goals.
Coaching to think outside the box
My coaching methodology focuses on empowering my clients to think outside the box and identify new perspectives. Using tailored communication skills and powerful questions to evoke awareness, and encourage clients to explore new possibilities and perspectives, is an effective tool to create sustainable, transformational change.
The use of carefully constructed, thought-provoking questions helps clients to clarify goals, gain new insights and achieve developmental objectives. In my role as a coach, I consider myself a sounding board who enables my clients to identify solutions.
“Nothing is so powerful as an idea whose time has come.”
Victor Hugo, French writer and politician, 1802-1885
Coaching to transform perfectionism into curiosity
The pursuit of perfection may limit a person’s ability to learn and grow from new experiences, due to avoiding challenges they perceive may result in failure.
In contrast, curiosity requires having the courage to engage with a task or challenge irrespective of the outcome, thus embracing the opportunity to improve future performance. The ability to view life’s issues with curiosity and to let go of other people’s judgements can contribute significantly to greater wellbeing and satisfaction in life.
As a certified coach, I use powerful questions to help you reframe your approach from perfectionism to curiosity by exploring underlying beliefs and perceptions that have resulted in striving for perfection.

Coaching to move from doubt to confidence
Many clients come to me because they feel stuck and lack the confidence to take the net step in their personal or professional lives. I help clients find balance in their lives by enabling them to liberate themselves from doubt and build confidence to move forward.
As a coach, my primary motivation is to see my clients excel in every aspect of their lives, experiencing a sense of accomplishment as they achieve what they never thought possible.
“It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare. It is
because we do not dare that they are difficult.”
Seneca. Roman philosopher. 4BC – 65AD
Coaching to facilitate a growth mindset
A growth mindset emphasises the belief that an individual can develop their talents and abilities. Those with a growth mindset look for opportunities to learn and improve their skills. Coaching helps clients adopt a growth mindset so their beliefs can be transformed into sustainable actions.
I partner with my clients to leverage their strengths and help them identify opportunities for personal and professional growth. My approach supports client autonomy and allows them to take the lead. Using mindful listening and effective communication skills, I facilitate new insights that help my clients embrace a growth mindset.
Coaching that provides a safe space
It is essential to create a safe space for my clients to openly share whatever is relevant in their current situation without being judged. Trust and empathy are crucial to create rapport and encourage clients to reveal the issues that are concerning them.
I am passionate about coaching and have received excellent feedback from clients who have experienced a safe environment as a result of my empathetic and non-judgemental approach.
An expert coach as a sounding board for medical doctors
At times doctors may feel weighed down by uncertainty and would welcome the opportunity to debrief and be coached about the impact this causes, but lack an appropriate sounding board.
In my capacity as a medical doctor and professionals trained coach, I aim to fill this gap. By proving a confidential environment, I assist doctors in identifying underlying challenges and developing strategies for sustainable change and a happier life.
