Communication coaching for women who want to speak with more presence, clarity, self-trust and ease
You already have insight, intelligence, experience and value. Does that show when you are speaking, even in high-stakes situations? This work helps you stay connected to your voice under pressure, so that you can communicate clearly in meetings, presentations, interviews, leadership conversations, when you're challenging behaviour, having difficult discussions or needing to be heard. Using tools drawn from voice, performance, and embodied communication, we build confidence together through real experience and lots of practical tools, not performance or perfection.
So many times I've heard women being told they simply need more confidence. Here's my problem with that; we all have situations and days where our confidence levels are lower or higher, that's just life. Being 'more confident' is not a prescription or a practical solution!
Truth is, the real challenges to overcome are more nuanced. Such as;
overthinking before speaking
a lifetime of taking up less space than others
shrinking in high-pressure environments
losing clarity when nervous
self-editing in meetings
unconscious vocal and speech habits (do you say 'sorry' 17 times per day?)
disconnecting from your voice under scrutiny
trying to sound authoritative instead of sounding like yourself
My work is about developing a way of communicating that feels grounded, authentic, and impactful, without faking it, over-analysing or making it harder for yourself.
You Don't Need 'Fixing'
My background in acting and performance gives me a deeper understanding of voice, presence, emotional connection, and communication under pressure.
Rather than teaching rigid scripts or 'confidence hacks' I help clients develop embodied communication skills they can actually rely on in real situations.
We work with:
voice and vocal presence
breath and nervous system regulation
communication habits
emotional connection
physical presence
visibility and self-expression
speaking clearly under pressure
your personal visibility blocks
The result is not performative confidence, it is grounded communication that feels easy, because it's authentic. Sure, it takes practice, but these are skills that anyone can learn.

Frequently asked questions
What do the 1:1 sessions entail?
I like to get practical! Generally we will start with some vocal warm ups, breath work and movement to get you relaxed and ready to work. Tension is the enemy of a powerful voice! Because 1:1 sessions are specifically tailored to you and your goals, it's not possible to be prescriptive but I might include work on connecting with your authentic voice, powerful posture, how to own the room, lifting text off the page, storytelling techniques, active listening skills, troubleshooting vocal/postural habits and plenty of practice, practice, practice.
How does your service work?
First we connect via a call, so I can find out what you are looking for and you can get an opportunity to see if I'm the right person for you! If we decide to go ahead, for 1:1 work I generally suggest starting with 3 x 1 hour sessions, either online or in person. They can be spaced out weekly, fortnightly or however suits you best. We establish some (gentle) goals and get started.
For workshops you can choose my off the shelf topics , or I can design something specific for your audience.
How much does it cost?
All sessions vary because all my clients are different, with differing visibility blocks, voice and hiding habits. And 1:1 sessions are different to webinars, talks or workshops. We will go over this in our call and there is never any obligation to sign up.
Do you offer help with writing a speech?
Yes! I can help you craft a compelling speech or presentation, incorporating storytelling techniques to keep your audience engaged. Whether it's a keynote, a work presentation or even a wedding speech, I can walk you through a framework that works to the time you have and incorporating the content you need to cover. We can hook your audience with a great start, brilliant middle and triumphant end, using interactive hooks to keep them at the edge of their seats. Even boring facts can be made interesting with the right treatment!
What if I need to cancel?
Before we start working together I will send you a contract. Basically, a document outlining terms and conditions and what we can do if either of us need to cancel. I always encourage full transparency and honest feedback, keeping communication channels open at all times.
What qualifications do you have?
Masters degree in Acting for Media (TV, Film & Radio)
QQI Standard Level 6 in Life & Executive Coaching
CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching)
