Background
An economist by training, I hold a First Class degree in Economics from the University of Cambridge. I started my career in Goldman Sachs Research Sales, and then Economics Consulting at PwC.
I have ten years of Leadership Development and Coaching experience and 15 years of professional experience working in Investment Research at Goldman Sachs, Senior Economics consulting roles at KPMG and as a Director at London Business School.
Promoted to manager within the first 3 years of my career, I embarked on a journey of discovery of how to manage, coach, influence and motivate my teams.
I am currently undertaking a MSc in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology, and fortunate to be able to apply this in my work and research on a daily basis.

Client Testimonials
Difficult career choices:
“Our last week’s session was amazing, I really thought it has helped me in confirming that I am doing the right thing albeit it isn’t the easiest thing to do. It has definitely also helped me to understand that in order to make the right decision in terms of career move, I first need to get away and give myself some time to understand what I really want”.

Relationships
“My partner is so happy since we talked! We had a good talk about the possible strategies you and I agreed. He was so positive after. We talked through the impending foreseeable stresses and how to manage them. Thanks so much, the session was so helpful . Lots of very helpful things put into practice so far . You are extremely perceptive and have such a good understanding of people and relationships! Instead of me thinking ‘I must try harder’, you have changed it to ‘we must both allow ourselves to..’ – game changer!"

Not another mindfulness suggestion!
There are people for whom the idea of meditation or other mindfulness practices are either unappealing, or simply not appropriate.
Almost everything the self is or does is tied to self-regulation
Whether saving more, limiting phone use, or being calmer at work, these all require self-regulation.
