Welcome to The Help Den
With 15+ years as an Executive Assistant and 20+ years of administrative experience supporting UK businesses—from corporate to cottage industry—I help overwhelmed founders reclaim their time. From managing your inbox and calendar to handling social media or taking operations off your plate entirely, I provide reliable, confidential support that lets you focus on growing your business.
​
I'm not here to just tick boxes. We will work together to figure out where you're losing time and energy—whether that's managing your calendar, keeping up with social media, or handling admin tasks—and create a support system that feels natural, not like another thing to manage.
​
At The Help Den, I take time to understand your business, not just your to-do list. Your goals, your challenges, your vision. Then I create systems that give you back hours every week and the headspace to scale confidently.
