Welcome to Liv Well

Liv Well Collective was born from lived experience.

I know what success, responsibility and high performance look like from the inside. I also know the cost that can sit behind them: misalignment, overwhelm and the feeling of always being “on”.

Today, I help high-achieving people and leaders who are outwardly capable but inwardly exhausted. It’s not about slowing ambition. It’s about creating space to think clearly and making braver, more aligned decisions about how you live, work and lead.

For fifteen years I led in education, most recently as a Headteacher, where I took a school from special measures to Ofsted “Outstanding”. I love leading people and I’m proud of that career, but so much of my identity went into it that the rest of my life struggled to keep up.

Behind the success, I struggled with my mental health, with depression and anxiety, and times I could barely get out of bed. Coming through that taught me how precious life is, and that every morning is a chance to decide who we really are and what we want.

I did the work: the books, the therapy, the mentors, the courses. I’ve invested tens of thousands of pounds in my own growth and never regretted a penny. What I’ve learned through that is that achievement is rarely the problem. Alignment is.

It took me years to leave a career I loved and bet on myself, partly because it’s hard to want more when people around you ask, “Why can’t you just be happy with what you have?” So if that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

Today, I’m a qualified professional coach with ongoing supervision and CPD. I truly geek out about this work. I’m passionate about leadership, but even more passionate about the leader underneath. In a world of AI and digital everything, I believe more than ever in real human connection.

What I Believe

You don’t have to struggle alone. There’s nothing admirable about making your life harder than it needs to be. The most successful people in the world will tell you about the coaches, mentors and support systems behind them.

This work isn’t about ease, or a perfect life. It’s about living consciously: honouring your intuition and your dreams, defining success on your own terms, and making deliberate choices instead of following a path that was never really yours.

My work blends:

  • Lived experience
  • Leadership insight
  • Professional, accredited coaching
  • Science-informed wellbeing
  • Practical, conscious habits for change

Perhaps you’re driven but not sure what you want next. Working hard but not breaking through. Wanting to scale up but wiped out. Longing to go for your dreams, but afraid of judgement or failure. It’s a new world, and what got us through before isn’t always enough now.

  • Ease isn’t the point. Growth is.
  • You get to define what success means for you, your family and the people you lead.
  • Asking for support isn’t weakness. It’s what high performers do.
  • The best time to have a map is before you enter the woods, so don’t wait for a crisis, or for January.

Words could never do justice to how grateful I am for you and how much you’ve helped me over the last six weeks. For the first time in my life, I’ve learned to be truly content, that peace and quiet don’t have to be frightening, and to be comfortable in my own company. You’ve had such a profound and positive impact on my wellbeing and on the way I see myself and my life. When things feel difficult, I have a completely new perspective now. Grateful for your patience, understanding and guidance, and for creating a space where I felt safe enough to be completely honest and vulnerable. You’ve helped me see things in myself that I couldn’t see before.

Liv mentored me for four years, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the lessons I learned during this time. She has a unique skill of being able to notice the things you need support with, while gently coaching you through challenging situations. She is patient and kind while offering so much knowledge. Liv’s coaching stays with me as the most important lessons I carry. I have grown in confidence and ability. Her leadership shaped our team: positivity, focusing on self-awareness and personal development.
