One to One Acting Coaching

With a relaxed but purposeful approach, I can help you to feel comfortable quickly so that you can perform with confidence and authenticity. I create a supportive space where you can explore the fun and spontaneity in the work, as well as its serious side and challenge. Together, we’ll unlock your potential and meet your goals as an individual, performer, and industry professional.

This coaching is ideal for:

  • Drama school applicants preparing for auditions.
  • Actors preparing for auditions.
  • Professionals seeking a trusted mentor to guide them on their acting journey.

Public Speaking & Presentation Coaching

Public speaking can feel intimidating, and it’s perfectly normal to feel nervous or anxious. I’m here to work with you to transform those feelings into positive energy and help you learn how to relax on stage. From there, you will learn how to build confidence in your communication and an authentic connection with your audience.

I’ll create a personalised strategy to help you to achieve your goals.  So, whether you’re preparing for a specific speech, enhancing your general presentation skills, or stepping into a new role that requires public speaking, we’ll explore practical tools and techniques that are tailored to your individual needs. In addition to offering coaching online or in person, I can also work with you or your team in your workplace, allowing you to build confidence by practising in the spaces where you typically present.

How I can support you:

  • Overcoming imposter syndrome and finding joy in authentic audience connection.
  • Preparing and shaping speeches and presentations for professional or personal events.
  • Developing general public speaking, vocal and movement skills to enhance impact.
  • Building confidence and skills for interviews and presentations.
  • Building confidence and communication skills for teams, trainees or those new to post.

Personal & Professional Coaching

Coaching can be transformative—but what exactly is it?


"Coaching raises self-awareness and identifies choices. Through coaching, people are able to find their own solutions, develop their own skills, and change their own attitudes and behaviours. The whole aim of coaching is to close the gap between people’s potential and their current state."
- Jenny Rogers

Building on my Guildhall Ignite coaching training and extensive career experience, I offer a warm, non-judgmental, and client-led space where you can take time to reflect, develop self-awareness, and build the skills to empower you to move forward with confidence and thrive.

This coaching is ideal for:

  • Those seeking support with personal/professional development and growth.
  • Those seeking support with personal/professional decision making.
  • Individuals or teams facing specific challenges in the workplace.
  • Performers looking for mentoring to sit alongside their performance work.
