About Me / How I work
Would you believe me if I told you that I used to mime in assembly at school? I was so scared and anxious about standing out and being heard, that I would pretend to sing. I had no idea what was holding me back, why I didn't have the confidence that I deserved. I didn't have the tools or knowledge to help myself at drama school or for auditions, how do I work with my negative thoughts which kept me stuck for years?!
After many years of deep personal work and training, I have the tools and knowledge to help guide others as they strive to achieve the positive outcomes they deserve in performance and in life.

How I Work
I am a Holistic Coach that specialises in Voice, performance, Life and empowerment coaching.
I've been a vocal coach since 2006 and I have had the pleasure of working with some incredible people, and unlocked many voices along the way. What most people don't realise is that I was terrified of performing in front of people as a child! The fear of being heard, seen and judged by others is a common theme that connects many performers, including imposter syndrome and cognitive distortions. We create mini pictures in the mind that turn into scenes and can influence how we relate to reality. The creation of fear and anxiety can be deeply routed from as early as being in the mothers womb and childhood. For those that want to explore deeper our space is safe to do so and there are many clients that work along side myself and their counselor or therapist.
In addition to vocal technique, mechanics and mindset coaching, I am able to offer specialised coaching and workshops to help overcome these fears, and empower performers to become the best version of themselves on on stage or screen. They learn how to give themselves permission to be heard, and we are able to shift the awareness of how they see themselves whilst performing. It became apparent through my vocal coaching years and personal experiences, that there are often factors below the surface which prevent people achieving their potential. Some clients request an hours session to talk through challenges and traumatic events in their lives and past events before we could start to work with the voice.
The more people came to see me, the more I realised I wanted to do more to help others, give them a forum to talk, and equip them with tools and coping strategies. I undertook qualifications in Counselling, NLP and ongoing trauma qualifications to support my knowledge, and started working with Life Coaching clients in 2022.
