With twenty five years’ experience in HR, Recruitment and Talent, and within Executive Search as a head-hunter of HR Leaders, I founded my business in 2016 to support both organisations and individuals.

About me

I started my career in HR, Resourcing and Talent roles within the Retail industry. I then moved to Executive Search as a headhunter specialising in HR leadership roles. I am now an Executive Coach, helping leaders achieve career success and fulfilment, by playing to their strengths.

I have studied at both Durham and Oxford University. I am a Barefoot trained Coach and a member of the International Coaching Federation at Professional Certified Coach (PCC) level. I am an accredited Practitioner of both Strengths Profile and Insights Discovery. I am a LinkedIn Top Voice for Careers and was recognised as one of London’s Top 15 Coaches in 2024.

I strongly believe in taking opportunities that come your way and stepping out of your comfort zone, and I have lived and worked outside of the UK in Germany, Chile and Singapore.

I believe in giving back and paying it forward and do a range of pro bono work as Chief Ambassador for the Girls Friendly Society (GFS).

Alongside my work, which is a passion, I am a mum to an energetic eleven-year-old, a book lover, a festival goer, a builders’ tea drinker and a house plant nurturer.

"Ellie's interview coaching is amazing."

Ellie designed and facilitated the workshop ‘Learn to Love LinkedIn’ for us. She shared her insights and vast experience. Her high energy, fast paced and very personable style brought the topic to life. Thanks so much Ellie for inspiring us to re-engage, re-connect and for reminding us of the power of networking, increasing your visibility and building your personal brand.

LT - Managing Director

"Ellie is an amazing sounding board."

Ellie delivered training on LinkedIn to our HR team. It was focused, fun and effective, giving the team a variety of tools to use both to enhance their own presence on LinkedIn and also develop our employer brand in the market. This was supplemented with individual coaching sessions. I would highly recommend Ellie - it was a real pleasure working with her and I thoroughly appreciated her pragmatic approach.

AC - Head of HR Projects

"Ellie is a delight to work with; knowledgeable, patient, articulate and generous with her ideas."

Ellie’s coaching is warm yet professional. She has allowed me to be honest about my challenges and to open myself up to some positive changes.

AH, Business Co-Owner

"Ellie offered the perfect balance between listening and challenging at the right times"

Ellie worked with me when I was looking for my last role. I found her coaching extremely supportive and positively challenging. She used her experience of Executive Search and also took the time to get to know me personally. The coaching was a catalyst for making some key decisions. I am thankful for her help and I would definitely recommend her to others.
