Coaching
Be trusted for how you think — not only valued for what you deliver.
You’re good at what you do. You’ve built a successful career, trusted with responsibility for teams, clients and projects. And you’re ready for what’s next.
What’s less clear is the path from here. You already know it isn’t about working harder, or doing more of the same. The next level of leadership ahead of you asks for more than capability — influence, visibility, being seen as a strategic leader, and the capacity to get there.
That’s the work I do — with people who’ve decided to be deliberate about where they’re going, rather than leave it to chance. The shift from being valued for what you deliver to being trusted as the leader you already are, and the way of working that makes it hold.
Ways to work with me
There are two ways you can work with me.
Both start with a conversation about where you are and where you want to be.
A six-week group program for women in property, architecture and the wider built environment.
A small cohort of your peers, working on the move from being valued for what you deliver to being trusted as a strategic leader — and learning to claim that as your own.

PRIVATE COACHING
One to one.
Sometimes the work is better done privately. A move into a bigger role or a new direction — the kind of transition where what got you here isn’t quite what carries you through.
Or the ongoing kind: a senior leader who wants a clear-eyed thinking partner in the room for the decisions as they come — the people, the strategy, the calls no one else can make for you. A place where you can ask the questions you can’t ask anywhere else.
It’s confidential, and it’s neither leadership training nor therapy — a conversation with someone who’s sat in the roles you’re navigating, and can hold the deeper questions most coaches don’t have the standing to ask.

Stella helped me see myself in a new and powerful way, not only as a director but as a trusted adviser who can make a meaningful difference.Edna YeoDirector, MBM · Elevate participant
Working with Stella is an investment in clarity, confidence and sustainable leadership and ultimately, a considered gift to yourself. It is rare to find mentoring that feels both thoughtful and practical and I would confidently recommend her to anyone looking to lead with purpose and direction.Daisy Richmond-SmithSenior Associate, DKO Architecture
I discovered that I already possessed all the skills in my toolkit. I now have a genuine self-belief — not just confidence — that I’m ready to pitch myself for the role I actually want.Elissa Loh-BrownElevate participant
She made it possible for me to see beyond my own boundaries, and gave me the courage to consider a future more authentic than I’d given myself permission to.Kate FrearPartner, The Advisory Studio
