Peta’s journey into coaching is rooted in her rich and varied early career.

Her acting credits include notable appearances in The Alienist: Angel of Darkness (Netflix), Doctors (BBC), William & Mary (ITV), Common (The National Theatre), and numerous acclaimed theatre productions across the UK, including The Old Vic and Theatre Royal Bath.

This depth of performance experience has uniquely positioned her to coach others in communication, confidence, and presence with exceptional authenticity.
In recent years, Peta has become a respected authority in her field. She holds a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) accreditation through the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and advanced certifications in stress and wellbeing management. Her impressive roster of workshops includes ongoing programmes for ALLIA Impact, AFMWB Canada, KPLER, and Fieldhouse Associates, among others. Additionally, she has developed a suite of successful programmes—Career Transitions, Communications, The Body Knows, and REVIVE—that reflect her holistic and somatic approach to coaching. Her ability to blend neuroscience, embodied practice, and practical strategy has earned her widespread recognition.
Organisations and individuals choose to work with Peta because of her rare combination of depth, warmth, and expertise.
