About Me
Growing up on an inner city council estate with a dual heritage background, I was shaped by the rich diversity and challenges of my community.
I also saw and felt what life is like for those who are born into marginalised circumstances. For bright young people who weren’t supported or nurtured to make the most of their talents.
It was in my teenage years that I discovered a passion for the arts—a world where creativity knew no bounds.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with talented artists, renowned galleries, and public art projects.
But along the way, I experienced and witnessed the stark inequalities and barriers that are experienced by many from underrepresented backgrounds.
Barriers which cause people to doubt themselves and their abilities, in industries where they don’t feel as if they belong.
These challenges, along with my own experiences of mental health struggles, sparked a deeper journey of personal growth and professional development.
I realised that, despite the obstacles, we all have immense power to create change in our lives.
Now, as a therapeutic coach, I help creative professionals from underrepresented backgrounds reclaim their power, embrace their unique identities, and unlock their full potential.
I’m here to support you in navigating your challenges and achieving what you want to – with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

My Values
Authenticity – I honour each person’s unique voice and story, creating a space where you can show up just as you are, free from judgment or expectation.
Empowerment – I’m here to help you reclaim your power, own your narrative, and move forward with confidence. My goal is to strengthen your belief in your own potential and unique gifts.
Inclusivity – I value the diversity of backgrounds and experiences, and my work centers those who often feel marginalised or underrepresented. Inclusivity is at the heart of everything I do.
Equity – My approach is built on a commitment to justice, aiming to break down barriers and create opportunities for all.
Compassion – I believe in meeting you where you are with kindness and genuine care. My aim is to foster a space where you feel truly heard, valued, and understood.
Purpose – My mission is to help you align with your true purpose, so you can live a life and pursue a career that feels deeply meaningful and fulfilling.
"My greatest wish is that you recognise the brilliance that I know lies within you. That you understand that the weight you've been carrying isn't yours to bear. It's time to let it go."

Coaching
Certified Relational Dynamics Coach, accredited by Culture at Work.
Relational Dynamics coaching focuses on understanding and improving how we relate to ourselves and others, whether in personal or professional relationships.
It helps people develop self-awareness, communication skills, and confidence, fostering more positive, balanced, and fulfilling interactions.
Master Neuro Linguistic Programming Practitioner (NLP)
Certified Master Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner – The Quest Institute.
NLP is a therapeutic approach that explores the connection between how we think (neuro), how we communicate (linguistic), and our behaviors (programming).
By understanding and changing these patterns, NLP helps you break free from limiting beliefs and adopt new, more empowering ways of thinking and acting.
Sociology
Culture and Society MSc – The London School of Economics and Social Sciences.
My study specialised in examining social inequalities in culture and society, examining how society systematically disempowers marginalised and underrepresented people, conditioning them to feel ‘not good enough.’ Those feelings are not personal failings but the result of a system designed to keep many from realising their full potential.
