About Me & UnlockingYOURPower
Throughout my career, I've seen how talented people and strong teams can lose momentum - stuck in self-doubt, unclear on direction, or disconnected from what truly matters.
Before founding UnlockingYOURPower, I spent over a decade as a small business owner myself, running a ladies' fashion boutique in Douglas in Cork. I dealt with the realities of retail life: buying and merchandising, margins and cash flow, looking after customers and staff, and navigating big disruptions - from economic downturns to a major flood and increased competition from larger retailers.
That experience taught me how closely our confidence, values and mindset are tied to the health of business. It's also why I have such a strong affinity with small business and retail owners - I understand the pressure, the risks and the personal investment involved
I founded UnlockingYOURPower to help individuals, leaders, and organisations reconnect with their purpose, rediscover their confidence, and move forward with clarity. I don't offer quick fixes or surface-level motivation. What I bring is professional education (MSc in Coaching, UCC), evidence-based methodology, and a grounded understanding of how challenging meaningful change can be.
I work with people, teams, and small business owners who know something needs to shift. Together, we explore new perspectives, build self-awareness, and challenge the beliefs that hold you back.
My role is to support, challenge, and empower - helping you find your own way forward, stronger, clearer, and ready for what's next, whether you're leading a team, growing a business, running a retail store or want to grow personally.
What I do
UnlockingYOURPower Coaching
I help individuals break free from imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and limiting beliefs through evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Coaching (CBC) and values-based work. Together, we peel away layers of external expectations and conditioning to reveal your authentic self, set healthy boundaries, and unlock the power that's already within you.
MENTupLEADup® Programme
An accredited leadership development programme designed for small and growing businesses. As a licenced practitioner, I use diagnostic tools, reflective exercises, and mentoring to help leaders identify their leadership style, enhance accountability, and strengthen business performance - all while staying aligned with who they truly are.
EmC (Emotional Connection) Model
A science-based framework developed by Dr. Lola Gershfeld for building trust, emotional safety, and connection in teams. I work with leaders and organisations to address emotional disconnection, improve communication, resolve conflict, and create workplaces where people feel valued and heard.
Retail Support I spent over 10 years running my own fashion boutique in Douglas, Cork, so I understand the realities of retail life - stock, margins, cash flow, staff, customers, and constant change. I now combine that experience with coaching and leadership development to support small retail owners to grow a business that works in real life, not just on paper.
