1:1 coaching services (Career Transitions)

My Coaching Specialty

  My coaching supports early-career professionals as they take their next big step — whether that’s stepping into management for the first time or transitioning into a new professional path.


Some of the transitions I’ve recently supported include:

  • Moving from a family business into Venture Capital
  • Transitioning from Academia into MedTech Operations
  • Shifting from Consulting to SaaS
  • Advancing from expert operator to people and project manager


Relocating countries often goes hand in hand with these transitions. It can accelerate growth, test your confidence, and offer a powerful opportunity for reinvention.


Having personally transitioned across industries — from Insurance to Consulting to SaaS — and across countries — from Ireland & Switzerland to London & Amsterdam — I understand both the frustration and satisfaction of starting fresh, navigating cultural barriers, and the joy of ultimately finding yourself exactly where you want to be, doing exactly what you want to do! 


Coaching wasn’t part of my original plan, but it’s become a natural extension of my work over the past seven years. 

Now, I’m creating dedicated space to offer it more intentionally

My Qualifications & Experience

 My approach is grounded in both professional experience and personal practice:


  • Academic foundation: BA in Psychology and MSc in Social Cognition & Decision Sciences


  • Professional background: 

  1. Early career experience in insurance research and executive search, 
  2. 6 years in consulting, 
  3. 6 years in SaaS scale-up leadership


  • Leadership and volunteering: 7 years of youth facilitation and team leadership


  • Personal practice: 18 years of yoga, 11 years of meditation, and ongoing exploration of breath work and somatic practices (including Vipassana, Kundalini, Chi, Buddhist tantra, and more)

Why Work With Me

  I take a pragmatic and deeply personalised approach — combining an understanding of demanding professional environments with insight into how people actually think, feel, and perform within them. 

I’ve been where you are; I know what these roles can take out of you and what it takes to grow through them. And I also know there’s more to life than the job title. 


How it works: 

  • First we identify what you truly want — not what you think you should be doing, but what genuinely excites and motivates you. We’ll explore the beliefs and blind spots that have shaped your decisions up to this point and look at where you desire to go next. 

(This is the therapy-like part of coaching!)


  • Then together, we’ll design a path forward that’s ambitious, rewarding and sustainable. From there, we focus on practical execution: setting goals, navigating transitions, and developing the emotional resilience and self-management skills to stay grounded and effective. (This is not just business-coaching but embedding and reinforcing you to coach yourself.) 



Final notes & tips

My Style

I’m neither a passive listener or constant cheerleader. Unlike a therapist, these sessions are not reflective, philosophical reviews of the past; I’ll offer my perspective and advice, based on my own experiences. I’ll challenge your assumptions, and support you in taking meaningful action — much like a sports coach who pushes you to stretch beyond your comfort zone, beyond your own expectations, while fostering a safe landing environment. 


Sessions can take place in person or online, depending on what works best for you.

Choosing the Right Coach

 Before you commit, explore your options.
• Research 4-5 coaches online
• Ask for two recommendations from different people
• Speak with two or three coaches who resonate with you


Then, go with your instinct — who did you genuinely enjoy speaking with? Who felt like the right fit, even if not the “logical” one? Coaching is a partnership built on trust and connection, so follow your gut.


And if, after two sessions, you’re not feeling optimistic or supported — change coach. This process should feel energising and constructive from the start.
