About
As an Organisational Development Practitioner and Executive/ Career Coach I work with individuals, leaders and teams to optimise strengths, confidence, happiness and wellbeing so that people have the chance to to ‘make every day a best day’.
I bring a back story of over 25 years in people development, organisational operations and leadership, having spent over two decades working in the world of marketing agencies and for blue chip brands before transitioning and setting up my own coaching and consultancy business in 2015.
I am an ICF accredited executive coach and accredited BPS registered Test User for ability and personality testing giving me a toolbox of resources and methodology to coach and train individuals and teams to support challenges and goals. Furthermore, I provide consultancy services to support businesses with people engagement, leadership and talent development enabling my clients to build an empowered, effective and nurtured work culture. I’m passionate about learning and personal development and will complete a Masters in Occupational and Business Psychology myself this summer.
With an enthusiasm for positive psychology in the workplace, my focus is on enabling people to confidently use their strengths and belief system to step-up and lead themselves and those around effectively in careers they love, untapping their maximum performance potential and contributing to organisational cultures which inspire growth and positive wellbeing.
I am passionate about helping people flourish at work so that people and businesses are in the best position to make every day a best day so they use words like energised, joy, fulfilled and satisfied and they achieve desired business and positive wellbeing results.
How? Perhaps for you it is;
– designing and planning a career which means you are able to find more energy, purpose, confidence and fulfilment every day
– leading more confidently and effectively by maximising your own strengths and performance potential by managing your own behaviours, thinking and skills more positively
– building capability in others, improving team work, collaboration and selecting the right people to optimise the wider business results
– building stronger relationships and contributing to a work culture which focuses on greater wellbeing, positivity and support
– achieving more whilst coping with the changes you naturally face as you or your team evolve within today’s volatile and uncertain fast paced world, and as you navigate your own life choices
I currently live in Teddington West London with my Liverpool mad husband, two children and Izzy my cocker spaniel. As well as running my own business I also work at Kingston University as the MBA Executive Coach and as a Business Consultant and Trainer for the undergraduate Business Readiness programme.

My coaching experience with Victoria has been extremely beneficial, targeting an improvement in commercial thinking within my current role. She ran the sessions with a combination of planned structure and flexibility to challenge my thinking and encourage the development of new skills. I would highly recommend her as a coach!
Victoria is a professional, authentic and an incredibly insightful coach. After just one coaching session together she managed to unpick what was holding me back on my job search and also to face the fears that I had created along the way. She also brought empathy to the session and a wealth of experience of the corporate world which she has spent a long time working in. I love her honesty and pragmatic approach.
