You’d never have guessed from the outside.

On paper, I looked like the woman who had it all together. A respected leader with a 17-year career shaping healthcare policy, advising Government ministers and national decision-makers. Driven, capable & always reliable.

But privately, I was carrying something no one could see - a deep sense of feeling unworthy from a lifetime of overachieving to outrun the voice that said, “You’re not enough.”

Therapy helped name it: "high-functioning depression", rooted in abandonment trauma and five years of domestic abuse in my earliest relationship.

And positive psychology? That helped me

change what I had normalised for too long. It gave me the tools to rebuild my self-worth from the inside out. Not with affirmations or toxic positivity, but with science-backed strategies that actually work.

Today, I’m a Positive Psychology Coach helping successful women who secretly feel like frauds reclaim their voice, identity, and emotional wellbeing - without burning down the life they worked so hard to build.

My clients don’t want fluff, they want results that feel like relief. I help them finally believe the praise they receive. To quiet the overthinking, to stop chasing external validation and to come back home to who they are. This is not about being “the old you.” It is about becoming the version of you that no longer needs a mask, so they can feel proud of who they are - not just what they do.

When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me being a wifey, proud mum, dancing to house music or booking my next holiday. Because I believe you are never too old to have fun!
