Welcome to Women-Space.
Helping Women in Higher Education Thrive
Women in academia are ambitious, dedicated, and passionate about their work. But career progression isn’t always straightforward—self-doubt, unexpected setbacks, and structural inequalities can hold you back.
That’s where Women-Space comes in.
I’m Christina, founder of Women-Space, an executive career coaching and leadership company designed to help women in higher education flourish in their careers. My mission is to support you in overcoming obstacles, developing unshakable confidence, and aligning your career with your values.
The thing that nobody has is you.
Your mind.
Your experience.
Your life.
Women-Space provides you with career support, career advice, leadership and career workshops, executive coaching, retreats, and resources that are unique to you and your needs as a professional woman working in higher education.
As a university professor with a wealth of experience in executive leadership, I have a real insight into the career challenges that many women experience when working in higher education, especially gender inequality. I created Women-Space to dismantle these barriers to career progression and provide you with the tools to help you realise your true potential.

Does this sound like you?
When everything aligns—your work, your purpose, your energy—you thrive. You feel valued, capable, and in control of your path.
But then, something shifts. You hit a glitch.
Maybe you’re facing a tough career decision. Maybe a promotion didn’t happen, or a colleague’s offhand remark is gnawing at you. Perhaps you’re simply feeling lost, questioning your next step, or wondering whether you truly belong.
These moments are pivotal. And you don’t have to navigate them alone.
How Women-Space Can Help
There’s plenty of career advice out there. But what happens when the advice doesn’t resonate? When they don’t ‘get’ what working in a university is really like? When you tell yourself you're overthinking, too sensitive, or not good enough?
Sometimes it takes someone else (who understands where you are coming from) to remind you that it’s not you that’s lacking. In those moments you need someone to help you look at whatever it might be that is holding you back and limiting your possibilities to thrive.
A Space for Your Voice
I believe in the power of voice—your voice.
Too often, women in academia are made to feel like a footnote to equality, an afterthought in leadership spaces. As the poet Vanessa Kisuule says, “You are not merely a footnote to equality, or a tick in the diversity box.”
You deserve to take up space in your career and your life—on your terms.
Women-Space offers:
✅ Executive coaching to tackle self-doubt, imposter syndrome, career roadblocks and all the other issues you will be experiencing..
✅ Career strategy workshops tailored for women in academia.
✅ Leadership development programmes to help you step into your power.
✅ Consultancy that provides innovative solutions to the challenges universities experience.
I provide a safe, confidential space where you can express your challenges, fears, and ambitions—without judgment. Together, we’ll uncover what’s holding you back, challenge limiting beliefs, and build strategies that work for you.
Why Work with Me?
As a university professor and executive leader, I’ve experienced firsthand the challenges that women face in higher education. I founded Women-Space to break down barriers to career progression, helping women like you step into leadership roles with confidence.
My coaching isn’t just about career moves—it’s about real empowerment. It’s about recognizing your brilliance and ensuring it shines in everything you do.
