How I work
When capable people stop seeing themselves clearly
I work with leaders and people who are navigating change, stepping into new roles, stages of life, questioning what comes next, or simply wanting to feel more confident and purposeful in the way they work and live.
My approach is thoughtful, honest and challenging.
Understand what matters to you
Recognise what is getting in your way
Make choices that are right for you
I will not give you a script of how you should lead, succeed or build your career.

Why choose me
You have worked hard to get to where you are. Now it’s time to decide where you want to go next.
Confidence, clarity, influence
Coaching for leaders and professionals who want greater confidence, clarity and influence — and for those who have not always found it easy to be heard or recognised.
A safe space for honest conversations
Choosing a coach is a personal decision. You want someone who has the training, professional standards and experience to create a safe and constructive space for honest conversations.
Adapted to you
My coaching combines professional training with a warm, thoughtful and challenging approach. I work collaboratively with each client, adapting the coaching to their individual circumstances, goals and experiences.
The greatest satisfaction I get is watching someone move from “I don’t think I can” to “I’m going to do this.”
I am EMCC Foundation Accredited, reflecting my commitment to professional coaching standards, ethical practice and continuing development.

Confidential coaching for senior leaders
I worked with Viji during a time of quite a lot of change in my life, both personally and professionally. I was moving away from my previous career, reassessing what I wanted for the future, and also trying to find a better balance between relationships, friendships and my own wellbeing.
I found her incredibly easy to talk to, supportive and non-judgemental. Viji gave me the space to reflect, asked the right questions and helped me see things more clearly for myself.
Our sessions gave me a greater sense of direction and helped me focus more on what was important to me and my own wellbeing. I found the experience genuinely valuable and would happily recommend Viji to anyone looking for thoughtful and supportive life coaching.
