Writing & Media

Sharing insights, reflections, and conversations on coaching, creativity, and professional practice.

I share insights from my work as a coach, coaching psychologist, and reflective practitioner through writing, podcasts, and interviews. My focus is on arts-informed reflective practice, professional development, ethical awareness, and well-being in coaching and organisational contexts.

On this page, you’ll find a selection of my recent publications, thought pieces, and podcast appearances, offering ideas and reflections that can support your own practice, curiosity, and professional growth.
