Strategic communications for organisations that change lives.

From the NHS and charities, to local government and social care, I help not for profits find the right words, at the right time, and in the right way to solve problems and make an impact.

The person who got into trouble at school for talking

That was the only thing I ever got into trouble for! It was also my answer when set a question a few years ago. I was challenged to sum up a comms and pr professional in ten words. I’ve spent my career turning that ‘trouble making’ curiosity into a way to connect.

I thrive on the conversations and communications that matter; the ones that help a patient understand their care, a donor support a cause, or a team navigate a season of change. Whether it’s a “squiggle” or a straight line, I help you navigate your path with clarity, ease, and a bit of joy.

Expertise

Strategy and impact

High-stakes campaigns for complex organisations. I bridge the gap between technical data or wording and human storytelling.

Sector specialist

Deep roots in the NHS, local government, and charity sectors. I’m a calm, clear head (and voice), supporting teams and organisations through complexity and challenges.

Internal comms and change management

Helping organisations bring people with them through periods of change, be that structural, cultural or the rollout of new systems or technology.

I ensure your internal voice is as strong as your external one.

Leadership, coaching and mentoring

My approach to upskilling your in-house teams means I don’t just deliver a project and leave. I build in-house capacity, mentoring your team to ensure they have the skills and confidence they need.

I also act as a sounding board for senior leaders, helping find the right voice, tone, and narrative to lead clearly and with authority and trust.
