Passionate About Inspiring Others
Throughout my career, I’ve worked in high-performance environments across sport, education, and the arts, helping people unlock their full potential. Whether as a professional musician, a coach, or now, a life and career coach, I’ve always been driven by the desire to guide individuals and teams to success. My coaching philosophy is built on a deep understanding of human performance, combining strategic leadership with personal growth.
My journey began in elite settings from a young age. As a chorister at York Minster and later a full music scholar at Eton College, I learned the value of discipline, resilience, and leadership. These skills shaped my career, from representing England in sports to becoming a professional cellist performing with international orchestras, like the BBC Symphony Orchestra.
In addition to my musical career, I’ve held leadership roles that taught me the power of transformation through coaching. As Director of Music at Bradfield College, I revitalized a struggling department, achieving a remarkable increase in student participation and instilling a culture of high performance. I also lead the International Cello Gathering, a biannual event that combines musical excellence with personal development, fostering growth in musicians from around the world. On the sports field, my role as Manager and Head Coach of Instonians Youth Cricket (U11) has allowed me to promote inclusivity and develop young athletes, helping them excel both as individuals and as part of a team.
Today, I bring this diverse experience into my coaching practice, working with leaders and professionals in numerous sectors to help them navigate their own journeys to success. My approach focuses on growth, resilience, and aligning personal values with professional goals.
I believe that everyone has the potential to lead a fulfilling, impactful life—and that a coach can help us see our path. Through personalized coaching, I help my clients build the confidence, mindset, and skills they need to thrive in both their personal and professional lives.

My coaching skillset is rooted in a profound understanding of “high performance”, developed through self-analysis and review and feedback. I am adept at helping clients navigate challengers such as perfectionism and imposter syndrome, as well as managing the pressures of performance, be it nerves, anxiety or fear, and the craving for external justification.
