About Prelude Coaching
Change doesn't happen to you. It happens through you.
Prelude Coaching was built on a simple belief: that every person already holds the answers they're looking for. The work is in uncovering them.
The story
My journey.
I’m a UK based mental health nurse and coach. I have a background in computer programming and I have worked in sectors such as financial services, telecoms, law, and IT consultancy. Although, my first love has always been working with people to improve their wellbeing (I have degrees in psychology and mental health nursing).
In my mental health nursing role, I have worked extensively in different NHS services such as drug and alcohol, eating disorders, crisis teams and other mental health services. Whilst working for the NHS, I undertook a Level 5 coaching qualification (equivalent to the second year of a degree course). I spent years watching talented, driven people hold themselves back, not because they lacked ability, but because they lacked clarity. They knew something needed to change, but couldn't quite see what, or how. Now I draw on my training and professional experience to support people with their goals within a coaching context.
Prelude Coaching exists for people at that exact moment: when you know you're ready for something different, but haven't yet found the door.
What I believe
The principles that guide every session.
You already have the answers
My job isn't to tell you what to do. It's to ask the questions that help you hear what you already know.
Honesty over comfort
Real growth requires real conversations. I'll always tell you what I see with care, and without softening what needs to be said.
Progress over perfection
Small, consistent steps beat grand plans that never start. We focus on momentum and celebrate every step forward.
The whole person
Work, relationships, identity, purpose; they're all connected. We look at the full picture, not just the presenting problem.
