My Mission: Help Talented People Tell Their Story

Behind every successful professional is a story. My job is to help you tell yours clearly. I understand that interviews can feel like high-stakes performances, clouded by stress and vulnerability.

I founded Ricotta Flow Guidance because I saw too many capable people lose opportunities — not through lack of skill, but because they couldn't articulate their value under pressure. My approach is rooted in structure and empathy. Walk into the room feeling prepared, not panicked.

My Coaching Philosophy

Authenticity

We find your stories, not someone else's. I give you the environment to locate your voice and say what you actually mean — clearly.

Structure

A clear framework like STAR provides clarity, not rigidity. I teach you to organise your thoughts so unpredictable questions stop feeling threatening.

Practice

Confidence is built through doing. Every session involves real-world behavioural coaching and direct, actionable feedback.

My Professional Journey

15+ Years in Recruitment & Talent

I spent over a decade working within top-tier recruitment, watching first-hand why certain candidates get the offer while others don't. The difference was rarely skill.

Hiring Manager Experience at FTSE 100 Firms

Sitting on the other side of the desk changes how you see an interview. I know the subtle cues and specific evidence points interviewers look for — because I looked for them.

Founding Ricotta Flow Guidance

I transitioned into full-time coaching to offer a more personal, methodical alternative to the generic advice industry. One-on-one. Focused. Without the hype.

Why I Don't Use Hype or Guarantees

In coaching, it's common to see grandiose promises. I take a different path. Interview success is a partnership — it depends on the work we do together and your commitment to the process.

My role is to give you the most effective tools, structure, and practice I can. No magic tricks. A high-level methodology that is repeatable and adaptable to any interview situation in the UK job market.
