As the offspring of an English mother and Greek-Cypriot father, I was born and raised in Greece although very fortunate to have attended private English schools before continuing my studies in London. I am extremely lucky to have enjoyed the best of both worlds growing up, and am even more privileged to say that I always aim to take on and learn from the best characteristics that both cultures have to offer. It is fair to say that my background and the wonderful opportunities I have had over the years, combined with an amazing support system, have all helped to lead me towards the path I am on today, and I couldn't be more grateful. 

 

Before founding Your Best Self, I spent over 12 years in the corporate world, with 10 of those years in a global firm where I was fortunate enough to rotate between several different industries, learning a whole host of skills and gaining extensive experience along the way. However, somewhere along the line it became apparent that whilst I loved my job, I felt like something was missing; I wanted more. More responsibilities, more job satisfaction, more reward and recognition, more of everything. So I decided to take the plunge! After careful consideration and numerous conversations with a few of my most trusted people, I handed in my notice and decided to take some much-deserved time off, to regroup, recharge and re-evaluate how to move forward, professionally. 

 

Whilst I’ve always loved the idea of having my own business, it was only during my sabbatical that I decided to become a certified Life & Career Coach. Since taking on post graduate mentoring roles, and always being that “go-to” person for most of my friends in need of understanding, sound advice, motivation and an alternative perspective, over the years I have developed a great enthusiasm for preparing and guiding people wishing to take the next steps on their journey but perhaps being unsure quite how to go about it. It is also fair to say that extensive volunteer work from a young age coupled with Corporate Responsibility endeavours and a desire to help others to become the best version of themselves - by inspiring, motivating, nurturing, supporting and leading by example - has become second nature. So becoming a Life Coach was the most natural step to take. 

 

By drawing on my own life’s experiences, I am confident that I can be that guiding force that you need to help you not only change your belief system in order to define the values that are important to you, but will also encourage you to make those big decisions that you want to make, but just don’t have the courage (yet) to make them. It is my mission to lead by example, to demonstrate that you can achieve happiness and a fulfilled life, if you just learn to step out of your comfort zone and make the choices that will lead you to where you want to be. 

 

I believe that it was only by transforming my own life, doing the work needed, that I was able to get where I am today and be the person that I aspire to be - happy and fulfilled, leading the life that I chose and being the best possible version of myself. And it is through my own journey that I am now on a mission to empower my clients to become the best version of themselves, by sharing my stories, and reassuring them that it is possible to have the life they want. 

 

Well, if you’ve made it this far, you’re now one step closer to embarking on a new life journey! This is your opportunity to discover your dreams, your passion, your purpose and your direction; to overcome your limiting beliefs and self-inflicted stumbling blocks in order to create the life that you not only desire, but deserve. Congratulations, you’re one step closer to becoming...Your Best Self!
