Lots of ideas. Not enough headspace?

I support creatives, leaders and neurodivergent thinkers gain clarity, direction and confidence when everything feels busy, complex or overwhelming.

No rigid frameworks. No one-size-fits-all advice.
Just calm, strategic support that works with how you think and live.

When your head is full, it’s hard to move forward!

You’ve tried the courses.  You’ve watched the videos.  You’ve even worked with others before.

But something’s still missing.  The generic advice doesn’t quite fit.  The one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work because of how you think and work and the strategies aren’t aligned with how you create and lead.

That’s where I come in!

Using my neurodivergent strengths, I think differently.  There’s no need to think outside of the box because there is no box.

I mix creative thinking with strategy to help you achieve success on your terms.  Whether you’re a creative or a leader, as an entrepreneur it’s about creating a sustainable business that aligns with your values.

Your business.  Your strategy.  Your success.

I work one-to-one and with groups, offering strategic support, mentoring, facilitation and thinking space.

1. The Energiser Sessions

Offering focused 30 & 60 minute sessions for gaining clarity, validating ideas, or getting unstuck on specific challenges. 

2. The Business Soundcheck

3. Your Wingwoman

Why choose me?

With over 20 years of experience gained across HR, recruitment, analysis, strategy and executive support, working in corporate environments, SMEs and with people running their own businesses.  I’ve worked across so many areas, I can see the bigger picture as well as the detail.  I can connect dots, spot patterns and help you decide what actually matters now, whatever stage you’re at.

My work is also shaped by lived experience and it’s why I often take a holistic approach.  I’m neurodivergent, I’m a solo parent, and my son is autistic.  I understand fluctuating energy, competing demands, and the reality of navigating systems that don’t always work for the way our brains work.

That perspective often helps clients feel seen, understood and supported, especially when life and business don’t go to plan.  They also tell me they value my depth of professional experience, not just for the knowledge itself, but for how it helps them think more clearly and make better decisions.

“It’s really good to discuss different ideas with someone who is prepared to challenge your thinking, your goals, and your (lack of!) plan. You really encouraged and inspired me and also gave me the confidence to keep going… in a no-nonsense approach, which is how I like to work.”

Lucy Clarkson, CEO – Blossom & Grace

Hey, I'm Louisa!

Whether you’re starting out or have years of experience, I know the challenges you face.  I’m a business owner, after all.  

Since starting my business in 2017, it’s been a rollercoaster.  But before I became self-employed, I gained corporate and SME experience in the UK and overseas.  

My goal is simple.  It’s to help you get unstuck and move forward and I use my personal and professional experiences to help you do exactly that.  I offer practical support, advice and guidance.

Let’s chat to see how we can work together and how I can help you move forward and achieve your goals.

My Values: The heart of everything I do

I’m not just about business, I want to make a difference and stay true to myself.  Yes, money is important but it’s not the definition of success for me… that doesn’t mean to say I’m not ambitious.

These values guide my every decision, shaping how I work and how we collaborate.

Impactful:  making a difference, big or small.

Inclusive:  all voices matter and are heard.

Innovative:  staying curious and challenging assumptions.

Integrity:  always do the right thing.

Intentional:  every action has a purpose.

Fun:  enjoy the journey and keep it interesting.

These aren’t just words to me, they are the foundation of how I approach every project and partnership.

“What’s different about Louisa is that she genuinely ‘gets’ you and wants to help you succeed.  She has a refreshing no-nonsense approach and brings a wealth of experience to the table for you to devour.”
