“If you want something you have never had – you have to do something you have never done.”
I didn’t begin my career as a Coach. My first professional life was in the fast-paced world of fashion in London, New York and Los Angeles. For over a decade, I worked as a stylist and editor, supporting global brands such as Sony Music, Gap, MTV, Warner Bros, Banana Republic, Elle and Vanity Fair, and shaping the public images of high-profile personalities including Kobe Bryant, David Beckham, Diana Ross, Run DMC, Mandy Moore and Justin Timberlake.
That world demanded vision, resilience, and leadership. It also gave me a rare insight into the pressures and needs of high-performing individuals — an experience that would later shape the way I work with leaders, creatives, and organisations today.
Over time, my focus shifted from outward image to inner truth. What began as an interest in people and systems grew into a vocation. For the past fifteen years, I have worked as a Systemic Coach and Clinical Hypnotherapist, accredited by the International Coach Federation (ICF) and the Centre for Systemic Constellations (CSC).
My training is wide-ranging and rigorous:
Systemic Family Constellations and Business Constellations (CSC & Whole Partnership, UK; Bert Hellinger, Germany)
Clinical Hypnotherapy & NLP (Hypnosis Motivational Institute, USA)
Coaching ( Frederic Hudson, USA)
Trauma Therapy, Somatic Healing, EFT, Mindfulness, Meditation, Two Chairs, Shamanic approaches
Concerned about the low bar to entry in coaching, I sought out first-class training from world leaders in the field. I continue to study, attend professional events, and keep my work alive and fresh.
For several years, I also contributed to the family business, Marigold Health Foods Ltd, introducing and marketing household brands such as Rachel’s Organic and Vita Coco to the UK. I worked closely with retailers including Selfridges, Harrods, Whole Foods, and Planet Organic.
I now live and work in London, where I run Life Therapy with Zita — a unique fusion of systemic coaching, constellations, and clinical hypnotherapy. Alongside my practice, I co-wrote the bi-monthly Loving Legal Life career and wellbeing column for The Lawyer magazine, and served as Wellbeing Adviser for Counsel magazine with James Pereira KC.
Whether I am working with individuals, couples, leaders, organisations or groups, my focus is the same: to support people in finding their strength, truth, and place, so that they can live with greater freedom, wellbeing, and integrity
