Creating Meaningful Change At Every Level

I came to health and behaviour change coaching through genuine curiosity. In an age of endless information, I wanted to understand, “If knowledge is no longer a barrier, then what actually moves people to change?”

Completing my Level 5 coaching accreditation confirmed what I’d long suspected: knowing about a new product, initiative or goal is rarely enough to drive meaningful adoption. Real change requires understanding motivation at a deeper level, alongside the sustained support, reflection and environment needed to help new behaviours become second nature.

I now bring these principles into everything I do, applying behavioural science frameworks to shape communications and engagement strategies that go beyond awareness alone.

  • I start by using insight and evidence to scope the current reality, and then collaborate on ways to overcome barriers and challenges, always grounded in behaviour change principles and real world experience to maximise lasting change. I create spaces for teams and individuals to reflect and discuss practical action, to ensure accountability and commitment leading to increased motivation.

  • I've spent the majority of my career working within the boundaries that make healthcare communications genuinely challenging: ABPI, EFPIA, PAGB and MHRA frameworks, medical and legal review processes, and the constant balancing act between compliance and creativity. So I’ve learnt how to move fast without cutting corners.

    The therapeutic areas I've worked across include oncology, dermatology, rare disease, vaccines, respiratory, metabolic conditions, and consumer health, across both HCP and patient audiences, in global and European markets.

  • I’ve worked with brands in the consumer and FMCG space, including L’Oreal, Reckitt Benckiser (Nurofen, Senokot, Fybocalm) and Thornton & Ross (Cetraben and Hedrin) along with pharmaceuticals with Rx products for Novo Nordisk, GSK & Pfizer, and with bio-science specialists Incyte, Menarini-Stemline and BioCryst, among many others!

  • In recent years, I’ve been fortunate enough to work on award winning initiatives including the Cannes silver and Campaign award for Nurofen’s ‘See my pain’ and PM award-winning ‘Vitiligo Mirror’ campaign for Incyte.

  • I take a pragmatic, integrated approach to AI, using it purposefully across research, persona development, synthetic focus groups, and analysis to drive real efficiency without losing the human thinking at the centre of good strategy.
