About

Having had the opportunity as a teenager to volunteer work on residential camps for underpriviledged kids and then at Crisis at Christmas, I realised that I wanted to help vulnerable people who needed a bit of a leg up. 

So, even though I had gained a Law degree with as I had wanted to be a barrister, I changed direction and worked for a number of charities instead. I supported clients with a range of issues including mental health, offending behaviour, learning difficulties and homelessness. 

Then 13 years ago I landed my dream job, running a small charity, Youth Concern. 

I had the priviledged position of developing and leading a committed team, raising funding and growing a range of lifeline services for more than 500 vulnerable young people a year. But it took me a long time to learn the basics of running a charity and even longer to get to a point where I felt confident in my leadership role. 

As a charity leader, it often seemed difficult to access the support I needed to be super effective. I now feel I’m in a position to support other leaders to feel more confident in their own abilities; overcome challenges more easily; speed up the learning process  and be more impactful, enabling them to feel more fulfilled and less stressed in the process!

That’s why I created Heart-Centred Leaders and I am here to support YOU on your leadership journey!
