Testimonials
I have found working with Chloe hugely beneficial. She is warm and non-judgemental, but also manages to challenge in a way that feels supportive, which makes me think deeply and reflect in a way that moves me forward. Chloe is very grounded as well as empathetic. I always came away from each session with a SMART goal and clear actions that were well defined and which I felt committed to and able to achieve. I felt that she cared about my journey in a way that was genuine and supportive but also professional. I feel really lucky to have had Chloe as my coach. She kept me on track, inspired me to take action and kept me focused on what I needed to achieve. She facilitated rather than directed. I would absolutely go back to her for coaching in the future.
Thomasina, College Principal
I have really enjoyed my time being coached by Chloe, and am so pleased with the benefits and output I have seen as a result of our sessions. Chloe has a very understanding and non-judgemental manner and tone which makes me feel like I can be completely open and authentic in our sessions. Our sessions have allowed me to view things differently, and make small changes in my day-to-day life that have had a big impact on my happiness. Chloe is a great listener, and her questions have allowed me to feel empowered and motivated to reach my goals. Chloe’s focused and compassionate manner makes me feel relaxed and present in our sessions.
Anna, wanting to get the work/life balance right
For many years I have put my family first so it was incredibly empowering to have time to discuss my own goals and what I wanted to achieve for myself. Chloe is very experienced within Education settings and helped me realise my action steps that would move me forward and get me unstuck. Chloe was incredibly supportive and encouraged me when I lacked confidence about having new and difficult conversations at work.

Professional Background
Prior to coaching, I was a passionate secondary school teacher for 18 years and Head of a successful Creative Arts Faculty and Middle Manager. I like to paint and draw and many moons ago, I was a textile designer.
All the Arts continue to play a vital role for me.
They embrace self expression, diversity and curiosity, whilst pushing the boundaries and questioning everything. That is me in a nutshell! My heart remains in learning and being a life long learner.
Fostering a growth mindset, opens so many doors and adventures. For me it all begins with remaining curious and being happy in not knowing all the answers.
I made a big transition, when I left London and teaching for Italy. It was a conscious decision to slow down, gain family time and reduce the feeling of overwhelm at work. Being in nature and close to sea has many benefits. Moving culture, language, country has had many challenges too, not to mention reorientating my professional life in my mid 40’s. Then again I do like a challenge and as I see it, it’s always worth trying new things and learning from them.
I have been asked many times if I miss teaching. The answer is yes. I miss teenagers, their vibrancy, honesty, emotions and (generally speaking) optimism and zest for life. I miss the pride and clear sense of purpose that came from teaching and helping young minds learn and develop.
Fortunately through coaching I still get the opportunity to work with teenagers. I also find coaching to have many affinities with teaching, as it is an open, curious, creative, challenging conversation. Fostering a growth mindset and encouraging to question assumptions and the status quo.
I do believe learning is forever and we should never stop learning.
What drew you to coaching?
I first came across coaching as an approach to lead my team back in 2011, on a training day for Leadership in Education. I immediately found the approach to be the most effective way to lead and develop my team. A decade later, I decided to retrain.
I continue to work with educators and young people.
Personal Development and Personal Leadership are at the core of my coaching practice. To empower confidence and motivation and unlock potential for personal and professional success. I am also a Dyslexia Aware Coach, and my passion is to help unlock individual potential and go from challenge to triumph. To approach, not avoid common challenges that are often hidden but affect the daily smooth running of things.
I help individuals and groups empower their unique strengths and unlock their true potential.
