About
Hi, I'm Farnaaz.
I help individuals and teams build resilience where it matters most: leadership, ADHD and menopause.
With over 15 years' experience as a GP and former NHS Medical Director, I understand the realities of leading under pressure and what it takes to sustain performance without burning out. My work develops Resilient Leaders who think clearly, lead with confidence and perform at their best in demanding environments.
As a trained ADHD Assessor and British Menopause Society clinician, I combine clinical expertise with practical, real-world tools, helping people move from overwhelm to clarity, focus and control. Through workshops, coaching and programmes, I equip individuals and teams not just to cope, but to lead, adapt and thrive.

Awards and Honours
With over 15 years of experience in developing and delivering multi-award-winning resilience programmes, I empower individuals to overcome challenges and thrive in both their personal and professional lives. As an NLP Practitioner, Executive Coach, and DISC-certified facilitator, I have a deep understanding of how resilience influences all aspects of life. My expertise is informed by my background as a GP and former Medical Director, where I gained invaluable insights into stress, pressure, and change. Having held leadership roles within the NHS, I recognise the critical importance of building mental and emotional resilience to navigate life's complexities.
I offer resilience workshops in four key areas, each tailored to address specific challenges: building resilience as a parent, managing menopause, strengthening relationships, enhancing personal, professional and team resilience. My holistic approach equips individuals with the tools, support, and strategies needed for lasting change. With my extensive experience, I am well-placed to guide you through these transformative journeys, helping you emerge stronger, more confident, and better prepared to handle life's challenges.
