Introducing Field Notes
Capturing the quiet ripples, the unexpected turns and the small shifts that shape the work.
For a while now, I’ve wanted to create a space to share more of the process in my work - the part that’s often invisible, nuanced and still unfolding.
So Field Notes is born.
This isn’t a space for polished reports or final conclusions. It’s not about showcasing what’s finished. Instead, it’s about noticing what’s in motion. The messiness. The quiet insights. The moments that shift everything, even if just slightly.
Why ‘field notes’?
As a Coaching Psychologist, I spend much of my time listening, not just to the words people say, but to what sits beneath them.
The patterns.
The pauses.
The tensions and unspoken hopes.
Time and again, I’m reminded that the most meaningful insights don’t always arrive during formal evaluations or structured debriefs. They emerge in conversation, in reflection, in the space between. They come when there’s room to breathe, to notice differently, to let something surface.
Field Notes is my attempt to capture that, to make visible the subtle but powerful work that happens when we slow down and pay attention.
It’s a place to reflect, to share and to think out loud at times.
What you’ll find along the way
Each note will be a little different. Some will be short reflections; others will explore a particular theme or approach more deeply. But across them all, a few threads will stay the same:
Glimpses into practice, whether I’m coaching, facilitating or supporting learning, I’ll share what I’m noticing and learning in real time.
Attention to connection, especially how we create space for others (and ourselves) to feel heard, seen and understood.
The small shifts matter, because often, it’s one conversation, one question, or one pause that starts a ripple.
Who these notes are for
If you’re curious about the intersection of psychology, coaching, creativity and systems change - Field Notes is for you.
Maybe you work in education, leadership, or mental health. Maybe you’re a coach, a facilitator, a teacher or someone holding space for others. Or maybe you’re simply interested in how change happens, and what gets in its way.
Whoever you are, I hope you find something here that resonates. Something that sparks your own reflections, or helps you name something you already know to be true.
More than anything, I hope Field Notes feels like a conversation.
I’d love to hear what lands with you, what questions are sparked and what ideas you want to explore together.
Welcome - I’m really glad you’re here.
