ABOUT ME
BACKGROUND
My work sits at the intersection of:
coaching, psychotherapy, and hypnotherapy (in accredited Australian training)
engineering and systems thinking
commercial and high-stakes decision-making
My academic background includes a:
Master of Business Administration (MBA)
Master of Applied Finance
Bachelor of Engineering
Bachelor of Arts in International Relations & Politics
Prior to this work:
I built and ran a private debt investment fund, managing over $30M in capital
I was the first woman in Australia to own and operate a fund of this kind
I was the inaugural Country Manager for Australia and New Zealand for an international edtech company, scaling it to its largest market within 12 months
I am also a board member of the following associations:
International Strategic Psychotherapists Association
Hypnotherapy Council of Australia
Alongside this, I maintain a creative practice, which informs my ability to engage with the non-linear, symbolic, and less visible aspects of how people experience themselves.
THE WORK
This is structured, high-signal work focused on:
identifying where your thinking shifts under pressure
understanding the patterns driving that shift
stabilising your internal state so execution becomes consistent
This is not general coaching.
We work at the level where identity, perception, nervous system responses, and decision-making patterns interact in real time.
WHO THIS IS FOR
This work tends to suit people who:
are high-functioning but experience inconsistency under pressure
overthink, hesitate, or second-guess at critical moments
feel the weight of visibility, responsibility, or performance
want precision, not generic advice
need to execute differently than they have before
HOW WE WORK
Sessions are structured, collaborative, and paced.
We:
define a clear focus
map what is happening internally
identify distortions and patterns
introduce targeted ways to shift them
Depending on your preferences, sessions may include:
coaching and structured reflection
psychotherapy-informed frameworks
hypnotherapy and NLP techniques
structured pattern mapping
Everything is grounded in informed consent and stays within the scope of my training.
This is focused, contained work designed to shift execution.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
Most coaching either:
stays conceptual, or
relies on motivation and accountability
This work is different.
We focus on:
structure over intensity
precision over volume
stability over temporary breakthroughs
The goal is not insight or excavating the past. The goal is repeatable internal alignment under pressure.
TRAINING & SCOPE
I am currently completing nationally accredited Australian training in hypnotherapy and psychotherapy-informed practice and work under regular professional supervision.
All work is conducted within the scope of my training
Sessions are reflective, supported, and ethically guided
De-identified material may be discussed in supervision as part of best practice
This ensures the work remains grounded, considered, and professionally supported.
