Coaching
I help aspiring professionals, athletes and introverted leaders to overcome challenges and achieve the extraordinary.
From surviving two disasters on Mount Everest, breaking endurance records, becoming an international motivational speaker (despite a lifelong stammer), to founding a leading UK wellbeing charity in my twenties – I know what it takes to overcome challenges, get my voice heard and achieve the seemingly impossible.
All of us have the potential to achieve our own definition of success. But life challenges, fear or unhelpful narratives often hold us back. Having a coach in your corner can help you find the clarity, energy and tools you need to take the first and most difficult steps.
As a resilience and performance coach, I help aspiring professionals, athletes and introverted leaders unlock the resilience, mindset and confidence to achieve more than they believed was possible.
Drawing on my own challenges, successes and failures in work, adventure and life; I can become the accountability partner you need to take action and move forward. Why settle for Base Camp?
What is coaching?
What is coaching?
Coaching is not about advice or quick fixes. It’s about questions and creating a non-judgmental space to explore possibilities, find clarity and overcome any self-limiting beliefs or challenges that might be holding you back. As a coach I believe you already have all the answers, but sometimes we need a different perspective to notice them.
We might work together towards a specific goal or ongoing challenge; or maybe you don’t know where to start, but simply know that something needs to change. During the coaching conversation, we often discover the challenge is something different altogether.
The ICF (International Coaching Federation) defines coaching as “Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”
Mentoring is about guiding and sharing personal experience. A mentor has been there and done it, and passes on their knowledge to those aspiring on a similar path.
I’m an ICF-trained coach and mentor who has been on a journey. Our initial chat can determine the best approach for you.
Client feedback
What's holding you back?
PERFORMANCE
Have a dream goal but life keeps getting in the way? Lacking the confidence or is the imposter voice too loud?
Maybe you don’t need more motivation: you need someone in your corner to hold you accountable. We don’t set SMART goals, we set courageous goals – and together we can build a plan to get you there.
RESILIENCE
Being tested by the times? Navigating a major life milestone, change or challenge?
Resilience isn’t about pushing through alone. We can explore the key pillars of resilience to help you adapt, overcome and even thrive in the face of adversity.
WELLBEING
Feeling burnt out, anxious or stressed? Want to feel happier, energized and back in control?
It’s easy for leaders to blur the boundaries, where everything becomes a priority. Often it’s not about yoga and wellbeing retreats, but the small habits we practice every day.
Something else? I coach the person, not the problem – and I’d love to help you.

My coaching is delivered 1:1 online, on Zoom or a platform of your choice. Sessions are typically 60 mins but can be delivered in person if local to Kendal, Cumbria.
Many coaches insist that you commit to a minimum package rather than one-off sessions. This ensures that clients are fully committed to a process and achieving an outcome (much like going to the gym). However, I understand that life gets in the way and everyone works at different cadences. This is why I offer flexibility with packages, one-off sessions and a monthly subscription to serve you best.
I’m not a running coach (yet) and can’t give you a training plan – but can happily recommend someone who can!
