Then my daughter was born, and something shifted. I could see I couldn't be the kind of mother I wanted to be and stay in that industry. Both are full-time jobs. At the same time, the strengths that surfaced in me as a mother made me look back and notice the same instincts had been running through my production work all along. I spent most of that year thinking about it. What I was really for, and where I actually fit.

Then I was made redundant. Rather than knocking me sideways, it turned out to be the catalyst for change. Throwing myself into coaching was instinctive, the same instinct I'd learned to trust as a mother. I haven't looked back. It's the first career that's felt properly mine.

So when I say I understand how disorienting it is when the thing that defined you shifts, I'm not saying that from a place of assumptions. It happened to me. Helping other women come out the other side of it is what I do now.

I don't rush. I won't reach for reassurance to make a hard moment feel smaller, and I won't tell you what to do. What I will do is help you see your situation clearly, work out what you actually want, and then hold you to moving on it. I trust that you can do this. That trust is the point, not a technique.

I trained with the Animas Centre for Coaching and hold an Accredited Diploma in Transformative Coaching, accredited at ICF Level 2, EMCC and AC. I'm also highly intuitive and emotion-led. Bringing the body into the work is a natural fit for how I already coach, and it's something I'm beginning to explore, so I can serve my clients better as I grow.

I coach in English. Online sessions are open to women in Berlin, across Germany and wider Europe. In-person sessions are Berlin only, including one day a week from a midwifery practice in Berlin-Mitte. If any of this is close to where you are, I'd love to chat.

For about a decade I was a senior producer in advertising. The job was taking a creative vision and making it real.

Reading how a group of people's strengths fit together, knowing how organisations actually work and how to move things through them, and keeping everyone steady under real pressure.

I was good at finding the structure in something that looked like chaos, and the part I liked most was always the people.
