About Marie

Professional Life

I’ve spent almost 30 years working with people around the world. Supporting them to engage in their lives and work in courageous, compassionate, and transformational ways using all their senses.

While my working life began in advertising it quickly moved into teaching and mentoring in education. When I had my children, I moved into private practice working with people in pain. As my children grew, I gathered my experiences and expanded my learning in programmes to develop my own understanding of myself.

Coaching is where I found my professional home. Partnering with leaders and executives around the globe. I still love the real work of coaching, working with human beings who want to know themselves more.

Much of my professional life now has become devoted to supporting the development of coaches. I educate, supervise, mentor coaches across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and North America — from those beginning their journey to highly experienced practitioners seeking greater depth, confidence, and authenticity in their work.

My approach to coaching has always been deeply relational. While I value models, theory, and professional standards, I am equally interested in what happens beyond technique, in the human connection between people, in the courage to speak honestly, and in the capacity for coaching conversations to genuinely transform how we see ourselves and others.

Alongside my private coaching and coach education work, I tutor on the University of Cambridge coaching certificate programme and regularly facilitate workshops, supervision groups, and leadership programmes internationally. I am also co-host of the Empower World Coaching and Leadership Podcast, where we explore diverse perspectives and emerging conversations within coaching, leadership, and human development.

I am passionate about creativity in coaching, reflective practice, supervision, and helping coaches develop the confidence to trust themselves more fully within their work. Increasingly, my work explores the balance between courage and compassion, what I describe as a fiercely loving approach to coaching.
