ABOUT ME

I understand complexity. Cultural, interpersonal, individual, ethical, organisational. I’ve spent my career helping people make sense of themselves and each other – across languages, cultures, and contexts.


One thing I know for sure: there is no one who knows everything and is faultless at all times. We all carry contradictions.

You can be a recognised expert and leader in one field, and need guidance in another. Safely own one room, yet enter another feeling out of place. Be a great team leader, yet overlook a personal detail. Mean well, yet end up in a conflict you never intended.

Complexity is unavoidable, but does not need to turn toxic. Conflict does not have to be destructive. You are not failing when you need advice. At any point in your career.

My academic background

Translation & Interpreting (BA)

My first degree and years of work in cross-cultural communication and negotiations gave me deep insight into the psychology of human communication - way beyond words and literal meanings. Listening and understanding rely only ever so little on words.

Literary & Cultural Analysis (MA)

A deep understanding of how narratives are shaped, both individual and collective. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

Organisational Psychology (MSc track, postgraduate diploma)

Building on years of experience working with individuals and teams, this gave me better tools to support collaboration, motivation, and leadership - particularly in complex and cross-cultural environments, and in organisations where trust and values are central.

I have particular experience working with professionals in arts, academia, technology, and aerospace – and with women navigating male-dominated fields.

How I work

My approach combines three things that are often separated.

  • Narrative work: identifying the stories we tell about ourselves, our roles, and our organisations, and challenging the ones that no longer serve us.
  • Behavioural practice: because understanding something doesn't change it. Real change requires repetition, modelling, and time.
  • Insight: not as the destination, but as the opening. Insight alone doesn’t create behavioural change, but knowledge creates possibility. Practice makes it real.
This is why I work in formats that match what you are actually trying to change, from a single diagnostic session to longer engagements with spaced check-ins. I’ll always be honest about what is realistic. And if someone else is better placed to help you, I’ll say so – I am constantly expanding a network of international and multilingual colleagues I can connect you with.

Why me?

I am genuinely curious about people – about their stories, and about all the contradictions they fight to resolve without realising that those contradictions are a perfectly united system. It’s just the whole you. And whatever role it is you are stuck in, most of the time it’s just this: stop, breathe through it, it’s going to work out. You just need to clear your head. And I can help you with that.
