Executive and Life Coaching
When I moved to Singapore in 2008, many clients I saw in private practice were struggling with normal cultural adjustments and needed coaching not therapy. My original mission and purpose as a psychologist was to reduce mental distress and help people develop mental wellness. Starting my journey as a coach felt that it fitted very well – I could offer people a safe space to normalise the impact of their transition and enjoy their life abroad. Having lived and worked in the U.K, Australia, Finland and Singapore, I could relate to my clients stories and use both my personal and professional experience to help clients not just overcome the challenges of living abroad but thrive.
Working with clients in transition is still an area that I am passionate about. This may be a life transition such as moving country or becoming a parent, or a work transition such as changing job or taking a step up the corporate ladder.
I combine 20 years of experience as a psychologist and over 15 years as a life and executive coach to help you make both the day-to-day behavioral changes you want and find the deeper purpose and meaning in life.
I have worked with a huge variety of clients ranging from C-suite executives to those in their first team leadership role, from new parents to those dealing with empty nest syndrome.

What is Solution Focused Coaching?
Solution-focused coaching is a goal-oriented and efficient approach that emphasises outcomes rather than exploring problems in detail, leading to quicker, tangible results. Drawing on your strengths, resources, and past successes, it boosts confidence and motivation which empowers you to take actionable steps. It focuses on the future, helping you move forward without having necessarily to revisit past issues. By breaking down goals into manageable steps, it reduces feelings of overwhelm, making it a practical and positive choice for achieving meaningful change.
