My transition to
coaching and mentoring
About me
Hello! I’m Samie, a Co-Active trained coach and a TPC-accredited mentor, living between the incredible cities of London and Lisbon. My mission is to create a space where you—whether as an individual or a company—can awaken your authentic self and transition to more impact and fulfilment.
I know first-hand how it feels to be overwhelmed or stuck at a crossroads by the accelerating change around us. But it never ceases to amaze me how we can spark new transitions to reinvent ourselves and thrive when we reconnect with our authentic selves.
This is what drives me in my work with my clients; a deep passion for helping others access their incredible inner resources and transition to build extraordinary lives and businesses.
My experience
I am originally from Milton Keynes, UK, and studied for four years at Imperial College London, where I pursued a degree in biology followed by a master's in healthcare management.
Professionally, I have over 10 years of experience working in technology and artificial intelligence (AI) at Deloitte, Faculty AI, and other startups. My work has taken me across the world, from the UK to Germany, India, Singapore, the UAE, and the US, leading teams to implement cutting-edge solutions to improve public and health services. My clients have ranged from the national governments to the NHS, US insurers, legal startups, manufacturing giants, and charities.
My transition to coaching and mentoring started 6 years into my career when I experienced burnout and realised I was at a crossroads of not knowing what direction I wanted to take my life in. Whilst this was a difficult period I don’t believe any situation is inherently good or bad; it is how you respond to it that matters. I knew I needed help and sought out therapy and then coaching, which helped me reinvent myself and also revealed a path to helping others.
Following therapy and my use of a coach, I noticed more and more that the most joyful and fulfilling moments of my day came from mentoring and coaching others. Witnessing the transformative power of simply being heard and asking the right questions to help others start their own transitions, was so rewarding and at times more impactful than other work on my plate.
In early 2023, I embraced the opportunity of another moment of transition to fully dedicate myself to what I love. I trained as a Co-Active coach and as a mentor before starting my own coaching and mentoring practice. Since then, I've been guiding and supporting individuals and organisations who feel stuck and unsure of where to step forward in their personal transitions.
In my spare time, I am a lover of the outdoors and a keen hiker, surfer, and climber. I am also a lifelong learner, reading as much as I can on topics from climate change and stoicism to current affairs and self-development, and as much science fiction as I can! Finally, I am incredibly curious about new cultures and love to travel, including learning Portuguese.
