Get to know me

Hi, I’m Angie – a British expat who’s called Dubai home for the past 15 years.

I spent over 20 years in the IT sector, moving from software development into leadership roles in international companies. I loved the challenge of problem-solving, but in the end, what truly lit me up wasn’t the tech – it was the people.

As I took on more leadership responsibilities, I found myself drawn to mentoring, coaching, and helping others navigate their careers. Seeing my team grow in confidence, step into leadership, and make bold career moves became the most rewarding part of my job.

When I discovered coaching, it all just clicked—this was what I was meant to do.

For the past five years, I’ve been fully dedicated to helping professionals like you find clarity, build confidence, and take action toward the career and life they truly want.

My approach is structured, practical, and focused on real progress. Clients often tell me that coaching with me brings them a clearer path forward, a renewed sense of confidence, and the momentum they need to make things happen.

And for me, there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing my clients step up, own their success, and thrive.

Professional Credentials

I am an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) with the International Coaching Federation and a Licensed Firework Career Coach. My coaching is backed by science, drawing from neuroscience, positive psychology, and career development frameworks to help you shift your mindset and take meaningful action. But beyond the qualifications, what matters most is that my clients see real change – in their confidence, their careers, and their lives.

My Coaching Philosophy

I believe coaching should be practical, structured, and focused on real results – but also a space where you can think, reflect, and be honest about what you really want. I love helping people find clarity, build confidence, and take action. Whether you’re navigating a career transition, stepping into leadership, or figuring out what’s next, my role is to guide and challenge you – so you leave each session with insights, momentum, and a plan. Coaching isn’t about me telling you what to do; it’s about helping you find the right path for you and move forward with confidence.

Relevant Personal Experience

With over 20 years of professional success, up to senior leadership positions, I have the experience to help you navigate your career journey. Having been through a career transition myself, I understand first hand the challenges you’re facing.

Not sure if coaching is right for you?

If you’re still unsure about coaching and how it can benefit you, that’s perfectly normal. Many people feel the same way.

Whether you’re new to coaching or have had a negative experience in the past, I completely understand your hesitation.

Coaching is a personal journey, and the right fit makes all the difference. You want to work with someone who ‘gets’ you, who challenges you in the right way, and who makes you feel supported.

Am I the right fit for you?

There’s no way to know for sure until we talk. Let’s schedule a FREE discovery call together, have a quick chat, and see if we’re a good fit.

It’s your chance to ask me anything about coaching, so don’t hold back!

“Initially, I was dubious about coaching and questioned if it would work for me. 8 weeks later, I have a different mindset and I’m mentally stronger. I’ve grown so much, and I cannot thank Angie enough. I couldn’t believe how far I’d come, after just a few sessions.
