Take Two Coaching

Take Two Coaching Creating breakthroughs that make work joyful. I empower professionals to escape their mid-career rut and achieve new heights through transformational coaching.

Helping you find purpose, shift your mindset, navigate change and build leadership skills for success in your career. When it comes to being stuck in a mid-life rut, I've been there, done that and now I want to share the tools and insights that actually work. For me, part of navigating the challenges of mid-career stagnation involved transitioning from a 25-year career in adult education (as a trainer and manager) into full-time coaching. I offer leadership coaching, executive coaching and life coaching as I empower anyone who feels they want more to actually achieve it. My coaching philosophy is simple: Success isn't a secret—it's all about unlocking and trusting your inner wisdom. Drawing on my quarter century of training experience, I've crafted a coaching style that taps into my clients' unique strengths. As bonus, I worked in management for years and bring a wealth of business wisdom to the table. I specialise in working with mid-career professionals, managers and leaders. These are people I know well, who in my previous career I designed professional programmes for, and who I helped to improve English communication and other soft skills. My career was in English Language Teaching (ELT) to adults, and I've lived and worked in six countries (and been part of projects that spanned even more!). As a result of all my moves, I've mastered adapting and succeeding in diverse global contexts. As a respected manager, trainer, and coach, I anchor myself in my core strengths of empathy, professionalism, and insight. My mission and my passion is to coach. I do it because I truly believe coaching can elevate lives. I found a coach myself at a time mid-career when I really needed help - and it totally helped me to empower my confidence and unlock my full potential, professionally and beyond.

Here are three grounded, confidence-building questions you can throw back at that voice:

1. “What evidence do you actually have for that?”

2. “Is this my fear talking or a real problem I can solve?”

3. “Would I say this to someone I care about - and if not, why am I saying it to myself?”

Short, simple, and they put you back in charge.

'Too late' is just a story you repeat so often it feels like truth and a comfort. And the unknown is a bit scary, right?

But your career isn’t fixed, your confidence isn’t fixed and your future definitely isn’t fixed. Don't you get that feeling that things could be so much better? They absolutely can!

If you’re feeling the pull to shift direction, that’s absolutely your signal for action – and that doesn't believe in 'too late', only 'let's do it'!

I changed my city (several times!), my career and even my relationship in my 40s, so I've learned all the ways to get through the fear. And I'm loving what came next ❤

If you want guidance, clarity, and a plan that actually doesn't feel scary and fits your life, I can help. Book a Stuck-to-Success Strategy Session and let’s map your next chapter. Link in bio or message me for me.

Overthinking at work isn’t “just how you are”.
It’s a response to pressure, unclear expectations and carrying too much in your head.

If you want 2026 to feel calmer, clearer and far less mentally crowded, I can help you get there.
Book a Stuck-to-Success Strategy Session and let’s untangle what’s keeping you stuck in the loop.

2026 is the year you finally go for what you actually want in your career... Imagine accepting the promotion, landing the role that fits you, or finally saying ‘yes’ to your own business. And this is not from panic or burnout, but from clarity, confidence and a steady mind.

That shift doesn’t happen by accident. It happens through fully utilising the tools and support inside The 4-Week Career Fix or my 3-Session Power Package.

January spots are limited and once they’re gone, the next openings are not until March.

You’ll get a personalised plan, weekly accountability, mindset skills, boundary building, easier decision-making, plus free access to my 3-Day “Do the Thing” Challenge for anyone starting by January.

If you wait, nothing dramatic is going to happen - but you WILL stay exactly where you are, stuck in an overthinking cycle.

Say yes and you get clarity, confidence, stronger boundaries, calmer days, and a coach fully in your corner.

Change has knocked on my door more times than I can count. I’ve moved countries, rebuilt my life from scratch, and even switched careers at 45. So when I say I understand how frightening change can feel, I really do.

But I also know this: every shift carries a bit of freshness. A chance to do things differently. A chance to grow into someone you didn’t realise you could be.

In my coaching work, I help people navigate and feel confident through exactly this - that uncomfortable bit where everything feels uncertain and scary (but the potential for something better is quietly forming) .

If you’re dealing with a shift you didn’t choose, or you’re trying to make one you do want, you don’t have to figure it out solo - see a transformational coach who has navigated her own transformations (and knows the shortcuts!).

Book a Stuck-to-Success Strategy Session and let’s help you move through it with clarity, calm and confidence.

In my experience, some challenges look super complicated simply because you’re viewing them from the inside and treading over the same old mental ground as you ponder a solution.

A fresh pair of eyes can reveal the obvious (or not so!) next step you’ve been missing.

If you’re juggling difficult people, messy decisions or the feeling that you “shouldn’t need help” at work or beyond, learn what it took me years to figure out - to stop doing it all solo.

Clarity is quicker when you share the load.

Book a free Stuck-to-Success Strategy Session with me.
We’ll pinpoint what’s actually blocking you and map out practical steps you can act on straight away, you'll feel calmer, clearer and ready for action.

Comment or message and I'll send you the booking link, or you can find it in my bio 😘

Come on Saturday for a fun, creative experience! Link in bio or comment and I'll share it!

Instead of carrying every work (or otherwise) problem on your own shoulders, borrow a clearer pair of eyes from me!

Most people don’t realise that clarity comes faster when someone trained is listening for the patterns you can’t see because you’re too close to the mess.

You don’t need more grit. You need space, perspective and a plan.

If you’re tired of trying to “sort yourself out” in isolation, book an online Stuck-to-Success Strategy Session with me.

In 30 minutes, we’ll pinpoint what’s keeping you stuck, what actually needs to change, and the simplest steps to get you moving again.

No pressure, no hard sell, just a grounded sense of direction. Your way forward doesn’t have to be a guess or be so hard.

gave me a delicious challenge last Sunday! Can we combine what I do in my poetry therapy workshops with a sourdough pop-up by .chilli ?

Two of my favourite things together?!! Instant 'hell yes' from me!

We explored bread as sensation, bread as memory and bread as emotion, with the most delicious sourdough and baked goods, plus accompaniments, in the most magical setting

I think we proved once again that getting in touch with your creative, poetic side is just a matter of being inspired and supported to connect to your heart and share from that place of authenticity.

The bread and the guests were the bridge for that connection - for some genuinely moving, beautiful and lyrical thoughts shared - because great food and great company is always inspiring 💕🪄💕

Saturday found me moderating a book launch panel - not my ususal Saturday night! This was a fantastic expert panel, who made it so easy for me, and a brilliantly organised event from .kolkata And Ahava Communications for Penguin Books.

And what a book! An absolutely practical and accessible guide to career success, that is relevant for any stage of a career. From the art of Shoshin (beginner's mind), to resilience, to emotional intelligence, to the 6 D's of ex*****on, there's so much that resonates with what is important to my clients, and so much to take away and apply. A definite must read from

In other firsts, the organiser said I was the first woman she had seen moderating a corporate book launch in the city. Super proud of that, but wish that it wasn't still noteworthy.
