The coaching at NorthCove has an extraordinary ability to ask the right questions at the right time. After just a few sessions I had total clarity and the confidence to go after what I really wanted.
The maternity coaching was something I didn't know I needed. Going back to work felt daunting — My coach helped me own my return with a clear plan and real confidence.
We brought NorthCove in to work with our leadership team and the impact was immediate. She understands people and organisations at a deep level — highly recommended.
15+ years shaping people and organisations across investment banking and property — now helping individuals and businesses unlock their full potential.
NorthCove Coaching & Consulting was founded by an HR professional with over 15 years of experience at the heart of some of Ireland's most demanding environments — investment banks and large-scale property organisations, leading and developing teams of 100+ people.
Working in these environments, we've seen first-hand what happens when leadership is strong, when people feel genuinely supported, and when organisations truly invest in their people. And I've seen the opposite — the burnout, the disengagement, the talented people who quietly slip away because no-one helped them see what was possible.
NorthCove was founded to work directly with the people and businesses who are ready to do things differently.
We live by the sea on the north coast of Dublin, and the name means something to us. A cove is a place of shelter — calm within the wider world. Somewhere you can catch your breath, get clear, and set off again with direction. That's exactly what I try to create for every person I work with.
NorthCove is led by a qualified Career Coach, qualified Trainer, and holder of a qualification in Work and Organisational Psychology. Maternity coaching is also a core specialism — rooted in the genuine lived experience of navigating the return to work as a working parent. That personal understanding underpins every conversation with clients on the same journey.
The coaching approach is warm, direct and practical — asking the questions that matter, celebrating wins, and supporting clients through the hard bits. Not interested in generic frameworks. Interested in you.
I'll always tell you what I think — kindly, but clearly.
Every person's situation is unique. I meet you where you are.
Insight is great. Insight plus action is transformational.
Work is personal. I never forget the whole person behind the role.
Whether you're curious about coaching, ready to get started, or just want to explore what's possible — I'd love to hear from you. Book a free 30-minute discovery call and let's talk.
Fill in the form and I'll be in touch within 1–2 working days.
One-to-one leadership coaching for current and aspiring leaders who want to build genuine confidence, communicate powerfully, and create real, lasting impact.
I've spent 15+ years working in senior HR roles in some of Ireland's most demanding organisations — investment banks and large-scale property businesses. I've coached, hired, developed and supported hundreds of leaders at every level.
That experience shapes everything about the way I coach. I understand the pressures of high-performance environments, the challenges of managing up and down, and the very real personal cost when leadership isn't supported.
Develop the confidence and authority to lead with impact — in the room and beyond.
Navigate difficult conversations, give and receive feedback, and inspire your team.
Tools and strategies to lead effectively while protecting your own energy and wellbeing.
Understand your natural strengths and how to use them to get the best from yourself and your team.
Typically 6–12 sessions, usually monthly or fortnightly. We'll agree the right cadence for you at the start.
One-to-one coaching. For team or group programmes, see Leadership Development.
No — many clients start with a general sense that something needs to change. We'll clarify goals together in the first session.
Absolutely. Everything discussed in coaching sessions is completely confidential.
Qualified career coaching for professionals who feel stuck, unfulfilled, or ready for their next chapter — wherever that takes them.
Feeling like you should be further ahead? Not sure what you want, only that something needs to change? You're not alone — and you're in exactly the right place.
As a qualified Career Coach with 15+ years of HR experience, I've seen career transitions from every angle. I know what organisations are looking for, and more importantly, I know how to help you get clear on what you're looking for.
Get beyond the noise and reconnect with what actually matters to you in your career.
Whether that's a promotion, a pivot, or a complete change — we'll build a plan you believe in.
Practical support to present yourself powerfully and land the role you want.
Support through redundancy, difficult transitions, or feeling undervalued and overlooked.
Career coaching is future-focused and practical. We work on where you want to go and how to get there.
Most clients do 4–8 sessions. We can work intensively over a few weeks or spread sessions over a few months.
Yes — that's one of the most common starting points. Clarity is something we build together.
Yes. Practical job search support — including CVs, LinkedIn profiles, and interview preparation — is available as part of the programme.
Specialist maternity coaching for working parents — preparing for leave, navigating the return to work, and rebalancing life and career with confidence.
Having a baby changes everything. Your identity, your priorities, your relationship with work. And yet most organisations provide little or no support for this transition — one of the most significant a working person will ever go through.
I offer maternity coaching because it's personal to me. As a working mum of two young children, I've lived this journey. I know the guilt, the self-doubt, the logistical chaos — and the joy. That lived experience shapes every conversation I have with clients.
Plan your handover, protect your position, and leave on your terms — not in a panic.
Navigate your return — whether that's 6 months or 2 years later — with a clear plan and strong self-belief.
You've changed. Your career goals might have too. Let's explore what you want now.
Real strategies for managing the mental load and building a sustainable way of working.
Anytime — before, during, or after leave. Many clients start 2–3 months before their return date, but earlier is often better.
Yes. I offer maternity coaching programmes for businesses who want to better support their returning employees.
No. I work with all parents — mums, dads, adoptive parents, and anyone navigating a significant family transition.
Many clients fund this privately — it's an investment in yourself. We can discuss flexible payment options.
Practical, people-first HR consulting for small and growing Irish businesses — without the overhead of a full-time HR function.
Many small businesses reach a point where they need serious HR expertise — but aren't ready (or can't afford) a full-time HR Director. That's exactly where I come in.
With 15+ years of senior HR experience across investment banking and large-scale property management, I bring a level of expertise and commercial understanding that's hard to find in traditional HR consulting.
Align your people practices with your business goals — recruitment, retention, and culture.
Up-to-date, plain-English policies that protect your business and your people. Irish legislation compliant.
Build frameworks for hiring, developing, and retaining the right people for your organisation.
Guidance on disciplinaries, grievances, redundancy, and other sensitive HR matters.
Both. We can agree a monthly retainer for ongoing support, or work on specific projects or issues as they arise.
Yes. I stay current with Irish employment legislation and ensure all advice is compliant and practical.
Yes — many clients come with an immediate challenge. A difficult employee situation, a redundancy process, or a culture concern. Get in touch.
Yes, I work with businesses across Ireland. Most work can be done remotely, with on-site visits where needed.
Bespoke leadership development programmes and workshops for teams and organisations — from emerging leaders to senior management.
Individual coaching is transformational. But when leadership development happens at a team or organisational level, the ripple effect is extraordinary.
I design and deliver tailored leadership development programmes that build genuine capability. Drawing on my background in Work and Organisational Psychology and 15+ years in HR, I create learning experiences that change the way people lead.
For people stepping into leadership for the first time — building confidence, skills and a leadership mindset.
Practical workshops on feedback, difficult conversations, performance management and team motivation.
Facilitated sessions to align, challenge and develop your most senior leaders.
Bespoke multi-session programmes designed around your organisation's specific challenges and goals.
Most programmes run 3–6 months with regular workshops and between-session tasks. We can also deliver intensive 1–2 day off-sites.
Workshops work best with 6–16 participants. Larger audiences are possible for keynote or conference-style sessions.
Yes — I deliver both in-person and virtual programmes. Hybrid options are also available.
We agree success measures at the start, and I build in regular check-ins and a post-programme review to assess impact and ROI.
As a qualified trainer, I design and deliver engaging, practical learning experiences that create real behaviour change — not just training day check-boxes.
There's a real difference between training that informs and training that transforms. As a qualified trainer with a background in Work and Organisational Psychology, I understand how adults learn — and how to design experiences that lead to genuine, lasting change.
I facilitate workshops and training sessions across a range of people and leadership topics. Everything is designed specifically for your context — your language, your challenges, your goals.
Core skills for people leaders at every level — giving feedback, managing conflict, driving performance.
Workshops on presentation skills, difficult conversations, assertiveness and stakeholder management.
Practical, evidence-based sessions on resilience, stress management and creating a sustainable way of working.
Got a specific need? I'll design a session around it — from culture change to team effectiveness.
Leadership, communication, wellbeing, performance, coaching skills, maternity transitions, and more. Get in touch to discuss your specific needs.
Anything from a 2-hour workshop to a full-day session. Multi-day programmes are also available.
Yes — I deliver both face-to-face and virtual training, and can advise on which format works best for your goals.
Training & Facilitation focuses on specific skill-building sessions — workshops, one-day programmes, conference facilitation. Leadership Development is a longer, more holistic programme of change. Both are designed from scratch for your context.
