Principal Coach
I have worked extensively as an actress (West End, theatre, television), presenter (Sky, BBC Radio), and voice artist. Alongside a degree in performance studies, I bring over 20-years’ experience in live broadcasts, interview technique and hosting live presentations, all of which I integrate into my sessions at London Speech Workshop.
At LSW, my diverse professional background allows me to support people at all stages of their career within a safe, enjoyable and supportive framework. I am passionate about helping clients discover the tools they need to take the next step in their communication journey.
Using the Serlin Method of coaching, clients gain the knowledge and confidence to make simple yet powerful changes straight away. From the very first session, they leave with actionable, impactful techniques that open the door to more confident and engaging communication.
As an ICF-accredited life coach, I bring an additional layer to this work – combining practical communication tools with the mindset shifts that underpin lasting change. This means clients not only learn how to communicate more effectively but also build the inner confidence to do so consistently, even in high-pressure situations.
