Are your business systems keeping your business stuck at
Base Camp?
Let me take the load and free you to conquer your goals through tailored support matched to YOUR business needs.
Why Sherpa Exists:
From Sunday Overwhelm to Operational Calm
It was a sunny Sunday afternoon, but I wasn't outside enjoying it. I was sitting at my kitchen table, completely buried under an avalanche of paperwork, operational reports, and endless spreadsheets. Through the open window, I could hear my family laughing together in the garden.
In that moment, a quiet truth hit me. After ten years as a Headteacher in special educational needs, building an independent school from the ground up and managing complex regulatory frameworks, I had broken the exact rule I always insisted my staff follow:
"Never let the job take over your life."
That Sunday was my turning point. It is the exact reason Sherpa exists today.
If you are reading this on a Sunday afternoon while surrounded by open tabs, messy files, and an unruly inbox—consider this your sign to pause.
You don't need to work longer hours to scale your business. You simply need a calm, structured operational foundation. Let's build your systems, organise your software applications, and get your Sundays back.
You Have Landed in the Right Place
You Didn’t Start Your Business to Work Seven Days a Week
When you build an organisation or growing practice, operational friction rarely happens overnight. It builds up silently. As you scale, the very processes that once worked begin to break down under the executive load:
Fragmented Software Applications: Your client records, task managers, and communication tools feel disjointed, forcing you to constantly switch contexts and duplicate effort.
Backend Maintenance Drift: Your website content falls behind, your digital assets stall, and platform updates linger indefinitely on your to-do list.
The Invisible "Mental Load": You spend your weekends worrying about what has slipped through the cracks, leaving you with zero cognitive space to breathe, create, or lead.
High-Level Leadership Rigour. Genuine Psychological Insight.
I set up Sherpa to ensure you never have to choose between business growth and personal well-being.
Bringing together a degree in Psychology, a PG Cert in Autism & Asperger's, and a decade of school leadership, I don't just offer temporary hands-on support. I step into your organisation as an Operations Support Manager to audit, streamline, and rebuild your business infrastructure.
By combining rigorous compliance with visual, low-friction workflows, I adapt your business applications—from Google Workspace to project scheduling platforms—so they work in harmony with your natural cognitive rhythm.

Sherpa VA - Operations Support
You built a successful business. I build the systems that keep it running.
High-level Operations Support for founders who have outgrown their day-to-day admin. I harmonise your software applications, digital platforms, and administrative workflows so you can focus entirely on growth.
The Reality of a Growing Business
You run an excellent operation, but behind the scenes, scaling has introduced a new layer of friction. You might find yourself stuck in these loops:
The Administration Trap: Daily tasks, client coordination, and file management are consuming your working hours, leaving no time for strategic scaling.
Platform Neglect: Your website needs updates, your content scheduling is stalled, and managing your digital platforms feels like a constant executive burden.
Software Disconnect: The business software applications you bought to save time feel clunky, disjointed, and overwhelming.

You’re ready to delegate the operational tasks that clutter your day, replacing them with structured support.
Business Architecture for Divergent Minds
Systems built with 20 years of expertise in neurodiversity, designed to work with your brain, not against it.
Most business systems are designed for linear thinkers. If your brain thrives on big-picture creativity but hits a wall with executive function, standard "productivity hacks" often feel like a burden, not a benefit.
With over 20 years of experience supporting neurodivergent individuals—including those with ADHD, Autism, and Asperger’s—I bring a deep, evidence-based understanding of how to bridge the gap between brilliant ideas and daily execution. Whether you navigate the unique challenges of Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, or sensory overwhelm, my approach is rooted in positive advocacy and structural empathy.
I don't just hand you a to-do list; I build visual workflows, sensory-aware processes, and low-friction automation that respect your cognitive energy. We don't "fix" how you work—we build a business infrastructure that finally matches your pace.
Leadership Rigour for Your Business Systems
10 years of Headship and a background in Psychology, applied to your operations. I don't just 'do' your admin; I build the high-impact frameworks that allow you to scale without the overwhelm.
"GDPR Compliant, ICO Registered, and 10+ years in regulatory compliance. Your data and systems are in expert hands."
