      <image:title>home - A conversation with me</image:title>
      <image:caption>I'm Anne. I've spent more than fifteen years working across commodities trading, financial markets, regulation and leadership, environments where understanding people, power, systems and competing interests matters. Alongside that, I've spent years exploring psychology, intuition, human behaviour and the parts of life that don't always lend themselves to a rational explanation. Salt+Gold brings those worlds together. I offer 75-minute, one-to-one conversations for people who want to explore something more deeply and make sense of what may not yet be coming together. You bring the experience, question or decision. I bring close attention, curiosity, questions, perspective and a willingness to challenge what doesn't quite add up. I won't pretend to know what your life should look like. But I won't simply listen and leave you to work everything out alone, either. We'll examine assumptions, follow connections, consider the circumstances around you and explore what might be influencing your experience. Sometimes that means bringing structure to something complicated. Sometimes it means questioning an explanation that has seemed obvious for years. There is room for seriousness, humour, contradiction and unexpected discoveries. The aim isn't to tell you what to do. It's to help you see more of what you're working with, so you can decide what makes sense for you. Explore a session →</image:caption>

      <image:title>about - the life behind the work</image:title>
      <image:caption>I've spent more than fifteen years working across commodities trading, financial markets, regulation and leadership. My career has taken me through large international businesses, complex regulatory environments and situations where the decisions are rarely as straightforward as they first appear. I've spent a lot of time examining how systems work, how people exercise power, how decisions are made and what happens when the official explanation doesn't quite match reality. It's taught me to ask questions, recognise patterns, challenge assumptions and look for the connections between things that initially seem unrelated. And to appreciate that being technically right doesn't necessarily mean you've understood the whole situation. Outside that world, I've been asking many of the same questions about being human. Motherhood. Relationships. Years of therapy and inner exploration. Experiences of trauma and grief. Rebuilding parts of my life. Learning about myself through psychology, intuition, astrology and experiences that don't always lend themselves to a logical explanation. I've never been particularly interested in choosing between these worlds. I can appreciate a rigorous argument and trust my intuition. I can understand the importance of financial security and question the expectations that shape our ideas of success. I can love a strategic plan and still want a life with plenty of room for spontaneity. To me, those aren't contradictions that need resolving. They're different parts of being human.</image:caption>

      <image:title>about - a few things that are also true</image:title>
      <image:caption>I bring curiosity, warmth and a fairly sharp eye for what isn't quite adding up. I like structure and freedom in roughly equal measure. I enjoy a complicated question, an unexpected connection and a good challenge to something everyone seems to have accepted as obvious. I believe in therapy, intuition, my birth chart, my soul and spirit, vintage Chanel &amp; Saint Laurent, good questions, a strategic plan, and the occasional spreadsheet (if I must). I'm a mother, an astrology student, a sunrise-and-ocean person, and someone who has absolutely mentioned Mercury retrograde in corporate meetings. I believe there's room for ambition and pleasure, seriousness and play, rational thinking and the things we can't always explain. I contain a few contradictions. I’ve stopped trying to resolve all of them. Curious about having a conversation? If something here resonates, I'd be interested to explore what you're thinking about.
