1:1 Transformational Coaching for female architects and design professionals

Clarity by Design Programme

Explore my services and packages below for female design professionals and architectural practices.

A transformational coaching journey from graduation to partner

I offer 1:1 transformational coaching programmes with 5 packages to choose from. Each focuses on your aspirations, not your obstacles, because real change is fueled by purpose, not pressure. Select the 1:1 package that most resonates with you and where you are in your career. I will then tailor that package to your exact requirements.

My coaching packages start at £750 excl VAT. In as little as 6 weeks, you will gain clarity and confidence, leadership readiness, and a stronger professional voice. You will explore how to make your private life more fulfilling.

Transformational coaching is deeper than just life or career coaching. All 1:1 coaching sessions are on zoom, lunchtime, evening and weekend appointments are available. Book a discovery call to find out more.

External coaching for practices who want to develop and retain female talent in architecture

Retain by Design Programme

Internal mentoring is valuable, but it’s hard to be both a line manager and a neutral sounding board. All practices are busy these days.

As an external coach, I provide female professionals with a confidential and neutral space, allowing them to explore issues they wouldn’t bring up internally, especially around power dynamics or tricky career decisions. My 1:1 coaching packages are flexible and tailored to the individual. My packages are designed to slot into project life cycles, not compete with them.

In a typical 1:1 transformational coaching session, I would explore her goals and aspirations. Then remove those invisible barriers so performance and progression match capability, all for as little as £750 excl. VAT, she will have a stronger leadership presence, more transparent decision-making, better team management, and fewer talented women leaving your practice.

Transformational coaching is quietly powerful, but very practical.

An initial tri-partite meeting would be arranged between me, the employee, and your HR/line manager to agree on the content and expectations.

I hold group coaching sessions and workshops on demand for architectural practices. A workshop typically runs for 1.5 hour, with a maximum participant size of 25, at a flat fee of £750 excl. VAT. Travel, room hire and catering will be at an extra charge. These workshops can be tailored for either male or female groups.

Female participants will leave knowing who they are as leaders, what they will no longer tolerate, and how to advocate for themselves. Deeper confidential transformational work would then require a 1:1 coaching session arranged separately from the packages below.

Male participants will leave knowing who they are as leaders, how they can become a “male ally'“ to female colleagues and how to mentor female colleagues effectively.

Integrity, creativity, and empathy shape the way I work. These aren't just words—they’re the foundation of everything I build. I believe in doing great work, building genuine relationships, and making it easy for you to get the results you’re looking for.

My work is grounded not only in transformational coaching methodology but in 40 years of lived experience as an Architectural Technologist. I know what it takes to navigate complex projects, leadership hierarchies, and shifts in personal/professional identity in design-led environments.

My 1:1 coaching services are designed by me, for women who want to stay, grow, and lead on their own terms.

My workshop for male colleagues is a non-judgemental space focusing on male allyship.

My client numbers are small, allowing me to focus fully on each of my clients. I operate a waiting list where I am oversubscribed.
