Helping high achieving young adults move from managed to motivated

With over twenty years in the UK’s leading academic schools – as a teacher, Cambridge Pre-U examiner, and Prep School Governor – I have a unique understanding of the pressures faced by students in highly selective environments.

With a Masters in Psychological Coaching, I specialise in the dynamics of development and transition. My work bridges two critical gaps: guiding school leavers from school-dependence to university-autonomy and supporting early-career professionals as they shift from a managed academic life to self-directed professional agency.
