I HELP SMALL BUSINESSES START, GET SEEN, REMEMBERED AND CHOSEN
Starting and running a small business is tough. Sometimes it helps to have someone to go to for advice, to talk through ideas and be accountable to for the deadlines you've set. I've worked with small businesses for over 25 years, as an employee, founder and mentor and am here to help. I combine full business mentoring with strategy and hands‑on marketing support where appropriate so your business works for you, your brand feels clear and your message is consistent across all channels.
I NEED CLARITY
In-person or online 1:1 mentoring to organise your ideas, refine your strategy, and feel confident about how you show up.
I NEED A PLAN
Work together on a focused project to uplift your brand, improve your sales & marketing strategy and move your business where you want it to go.
I NEED IT DONE
Hand over your day‑to‑day branding, marketing & socials, as well as newsletter or blog so you can focus on doing what you do best.
INTRODUCTORY CALL
Let's start by talking to each other and explore what you need
I often find that "what you need" is not that easy to encapsulate in a sentence. Conversations can start along any of these lines:
-
I've got a great idea - what now?
-
I need to split myself into 3 people just to get everything done
-
I know I need to be on social media but I dont know where to start
-
I'm not reaching the customers I need to grow my business
-
I'm spending all my time working in the business I have no time for strategy or planning
-
Something is not working but I've no idea what I could do differently
Let's jump in with a free 30 minute call so we can establish exactly what you need and I can let you know if I'm the right person for the job. And we can see if we get along well enough to work together - I think that's important, and I'm sure you do too.
MENTORING FOR START-UPS &
SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS
Mentoring for entrepreneurs & owners who want clarity and confidence
97% of individuals with a mentor feel they are a valuable and impactful asset, they are the norm in big companies and yet most small business owners are doing everything on their own. I'm here to share the load, as a sounding board or an accountability partner and to give you the space to think, make decisions, and move forward with a clear plan.
Idea Validation or Business Review – £220
An opportunity to take a deep dive into your idea or review your current business and get some valuable feedback and support. We'll work through your priorities, dig into any decisions you need to make or growing pains you're experiencing. We can spend time identifying your customers or refining your offer, reviewing your brand and messaging, or putting a growth strategy together. This session is designed as a standalone review to bring you clarity on what to do next.

mentoring experience
My entire career has been built in start-ups and entrepreneurial spaces, as an employee, co-founder, founder, consultant and mentor.
I've worked with businesses ranging from food kiosks on London stations to legal-tech training delivered into the world's top law firms. I've taught essential business skills to women, built product businesses and a social enterprise, and delivered leadership programmes for C-suite teams. I have worked with over 65 entrepreneurs, founders, small businesses and social enterprises to bring their ideas to life and allow their businesses to flourish.
I love the alchemy of turning an idea into something real - and getting to share that with others is the best possible place to be.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Who do you work with?
I work with entrepreneurs, founders, small business owners, social enterprises, solo service providers, and micro-businesses who want clearer branding, stronger marketing, and more confidence in how they show up. I work with businesses throughout the UK and also mentor virtually in Europe and Southern Africa.
What services do you offer?
I offer mentoring for start-ups and established businesses, consulting projects, and ongoing monthly branding and marketing support. Each service is designed to help you move from clarity to action to consistent growth.
What’s the difference between mentoring and consulting?
Mentoring helps you think through decisions, build confidence, and get clear on your next step. Consulting focuses on practical support within your business itself, giving you strategy, direction, recommendations and help to solve a specific problem.
Can you help with both strategy and implementation?
Yes. I can help you decide what to do, and I can also support you with doing it. That means you get as much as you want to start or grow your business.
How do I know which service is right for me?
Sometimes it's difficult to decide what needs doing next. If you book a free Clarity call, we can talk about where your business is now, what you need most, and whether mentoring, a project, or monthly support is the best fit. There is no obligation to use my services following the call.
How much do your services cost?
Prices start from £120 for a Power Hour and from £380 per month for ongoing support. Consulting projects are quoted based on scope, so you only pay for the level of help you need.
Do you work with clients in Wiltshire?
Yes - absolutely. I’m based in Wilton, near Salisbury in Wiltshire and very happy to meet for in-person sessions.
Do you offer one-off help or only ongoing support?
I offer both. You can book a one-off mentoring session, a fixed consulting project, or ongoing monthly support depending on what you need right now.
How do I get started?
I always start with a free Clarity Call where we’ll talk through your goals and the best next step. It’s a simple, easy way to see whether we’re a good fit.
If mentoring isn't currently within budget, I also volunteer through Digital Boost where you are welcome to see if I have availability and book a session.
