About me
I’m a globetrotting multi-tasker
I am a working mother and a former diplomat. I have worked and lived in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the US over the course of the past 20 years. I know what it’s like to uproot your life (and your family) and start again in a new country.
I am a qualified Executive and Senior Level Coach accredited with the European Mentoring and Coaching Council. I am also a Chartered Member of the UK’s HR professional body, the CIPD, and have been coaching for a number of years including as a member of the UK Civil Service’s internal coaching cadre and UK Foreign Office’s internal coaching service.
So, what will you get from coaching with me?
Develop confidence in managing new or challenging situations
Rediscover a sense of self-belief and trust in your own abilities
Feel empowered to make changes in your own life and career
I can help you work out what it is that you really want to achieve, and then together we can map out a way forward.
I support my clients in a calm and empathetic way, empowering them to find the path that suits them. I coach with a view to turning challenges into opportunities.
What clients have said
"Millie made me aware of me, allowed me to reframe areas of my life, take action but importantly be true to myself."
Holly- transitioning careers
"I found Millie really approachable and easy to talk to. I liked that she had similar experiences as a fellow foreign office spouse so it made it feel more helpful and meaningful to work with her. I liked the semi-structured approach, where there were a few key themes and exercises that we went through together but there was also flexibility to address concerns that came up or felt most pressing at the time of each session.”
Stacey-Freelance consultant (partner of UK diplomat serving overseas)
“Millie's calm, open approach made it easy for me to reflect openly on my goals and explore these through the coaching sessions. I really enjoyed the activities and time spent together on these. She helps people explore their goals and will make people feel safe and supported to explore these openly.”
Madeleine- UK Civil Servant
"I had the privilege of working with Millie during a pivotal time in my life, and I can confidently say that Millie’s guidance has been transformative. She has a unique ability to truly listen, ask the right questions, and challenge you in a way that inspires growth and self-discovery. Her approach is not only professional and thoughtful but also genuinely compassionate, creating a safe and encouraging environment for personal development. Through her coaching, I gained clarity on my goals, developed actionable strategies, and uncovered strengths I didn’t realise I had. Whether it was tackling professional challenges or personal obstacles, she provided the tools, insights, and accountability I needed to make meaningful progress. I would highly recommend Millie and cannot thank her enough for how she has made me think feel and I truly feel I have developed both a positive and Growth mindset thanks to her coaching.”
