I’m a Virtual Assistant based in Essex, supporting small business owners who want calmer, more organised back-office support.
Whether you’re in Chelmsford, Brentwood, Colchester, Southend, Basildon or the surrounding areas, I provide ongoing admin and retainer support designed to take pressure off your day-to-day operations. While I work virtually with clients across the UK, being based in Essex means I understand the pace and pressures of running a local business.
I work with coaches, consultants, service-based businesses and local professionals across Essex who feel stretched by inbox management, diary coordination and the admin that quietly builds up behind the scenes.
Most of the business owners I support aren’t disorganised. They’re simply busy. Their business has grown, but their systems haven’t had time to catch up.
That’s where calm, structured, ongoing support makes the difference.
My support is designed to be consistent and reliable - not reactive and rushed.
This can include:
If you’re looking for ad-hoc help once in a while, I can support that too - but my focus is on longer-term, structured support that keeps your business running smoothly.

Being based in Essex means I regularly connect with and support local business owners through networking and collaboration.
I’ve worked alongside respected Essex-based businesses, including events hosted at City Space, and supported established beauty professionals such as Becky's Beauty with organised, behind-the-scenes admin support.
I care about building strong working relationships locally and understand the value of having someone reliable and steady supporting your business.
