About
As an Executive/ Career Coach and Organisational Development practitioner I work with individuals, leaders and teams to optimise strengths, confidence, career and wellbeing so that people can actively ‘make every day a best day’ for themselves and those they work with.
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 and Positive Psychology Coach and accredited BPS registered Test User for ability and personality testing giving me a toolbox of resources and methodology to coach and educated individuals and teams for better growth, skills and self leadership as they navigate their work and life goals. I also offer consultancy services to support businesses with people engagement, leadership development enabling my clients to build an empowered, effective and nurtured work culture.
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 and to have the mindset, skills and wellbeing to flourish everyday with confidence and clarity. I’m passionate about female advancement at work, inclusivity and ensuring what underpins careers, team and individual growth is positive wellbeing. I am an evidence based practitioner and this summer will complete a Masters in Occupational and Business Psychology.
How I help my clients;
– designing and planning a career which means you are able to find more energy, purpose, confidence and fulfilment every day.
– seeking a release from personal pressure to do everything perfectly and as quickly as possible which leaves you feeling overwhelmed, lacking control and no time for your own personal needs & growth
– leading more confidently and effectively by maximising your own strengths and performance potential by managing your own behaviours, thinking and skills more positively
– taming the inner critical voice which keeps you awake, feeds imposter syndrome and drives daily anxiety and confusion
– 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 whilst also ensuring your status and position is maximised at every point
– 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 and work as an Associate for Bailey & French and Affinity Health at Work, two organisations championing humanising the workplace and putting people and wellbeing at the heart of the organisation.

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.
