Helping you find your story again
So your life and work feel like they belong together.
I’m a narrative-based coach working with people navigating chronic illness, disability and fluctuating capacity.
Together, we make sense of work & life in a way that actually fits your reality, not the version you’re expected to keep up with.
When things keep changing, it’s hard to know what works
I work with individuals and organisations to make sense of work, life and capacity when nothing stays consistent for long.
For Indviduals
When your health, energy or circumstances keep changing, it’s hard to trust your next step.
This isn’t about pushing harder or “getting back to normal.”
It’s about building something that works now.
Together, we:
understand your capacity w no judgement
separate what’s yours from what’s expected
find ways of working that flex with your life
So you can move forward with clarity
For Teams & Leaders
Inclusion is more than simply a policy, it’s whether people can actually sustain their role.
I support organisations to understand how work design, expectations and communication impact people living with chronic illness and fluctuating capacity.
My work helps teams:
move beyond surface-level adjustments
understand fluctuating capacity in practice
create ways of working that support both people and performance
So support becomes meaningful, not performative.
The Shift I Help Create
I use narrative coaching and systems thinking to help you untangle what’s going on, see the patterns more clearly to find ways forward that works in real life.
Move from overwhelm to clarity and more manageable
Reconned with what really matters to you
Work within your capacity rather than against it
Create change that is real, human, sustainable and you
What Support Looks Like
1:1 coaching for life, work and energy
Support navigating workplace conversations & adjustments
Guidance for balancing health and work demands
Workplace coaching and inclusive practice support
This work is grounded in lived experience alongside practical coaching and workplace insight.
The focus is simple:
to make work more realistic, sustainable and in line with how people actually function and not how they’re expected to.
Time to Thrive
I’m a storyteller, writer, speaker and coach living with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) and Riding for the Disabled Association Volunteer.
Living with chronic illness, alongside perimenopause, has shaped how I understand resilience, communication and what it really means to navigate work and life when capacity isn’t consistent.
My work sits between lived experience and language.
I help make the invisible visible, so you can understand what’s happening and find a way forward that makes sense.
Because often the gap isn’t information.
It’s understanding.
The Surrender Agenda
I’m the author of a book exploring lived experience of chronic illness and chronic pain in a witty way.
The Surrender Agenda is out now in print, e-book and audio formats and was placed third in the Ink Book Prize Awards 2025.
"I recommend this book wholeheartedly ..."
