Before founding The Charlesworth Consultancy, I worked in law for over 20 years. As a lawyer in the City, I worked on complex matters for high-profile individuals and public figures - where clear judgement, strong communication and resilience really mattered. That experience now shapes how I work with clients: practically, thoughtfully and without fluff. I remain a non-practicing solicitor.

I work with high-achieving professionals who look capable and successful from the outside, but privately feel stretched, stuck, depleted or unsure what comes next. Some are navigating burnout. Some are considering a career change. Some are stepping into bigger roles and need more confidence, influence and perspective. Many simply want a life that fits better than the one they have drifted into.

My background brings together several things that do not often sit in the same place: high-level legal and analytical experience, Executive Coaching training at the University of Cambridge, Lifestyle and Wellness Coaching training with Harvard Medical School, strong emotional intelligence, and a creative, open-minded approach to growth and change.

As a member of the UK Parliament’s All-Party Parliamentary Group on Artificial Intelligence, and having successfully completed ‘AI for Leaders’ course at Babson College (USA), I also understand the pressure many professionals feel around AI and the future of work, without turning that into empty hype.

I created this consultancy because I know what it is like to succeed in demanding environments and still feel that something is off. My work helps clients step back, think more clearly, and create a career and life that feel more sustainable, more grounded and more fully their own.
