Coach-therapist vision
Coaching leaders, I use all of me to help all of you. Heart, mind and soul. I embrace who you are and help you reach where you want to be.
Experience
Dual-trained and accredited as Senior Coach Practitioner and Psychotherapist, as well as providing professional supervision to fellow coaches and therapists, I bring diverse experience from working in law firms, hospice care and 25 years in the boardroom.
Transformation
Informed by diverse experience of life and work, I love working at depth to achieve potential and transform personal, organisational and strategic challenges. From grief to work/life balance, seeking or starting new roles and teams, from leading change to retirement.
Solution-focussed,
person-centred
The foundation to all my work is holistic: I encourage you to bring your whole self to our work. I offer a safe space, without judgment, where you can say what you truly think and feel. Warm and gentle yet providing challenge, I see your strengths and expertise to reach your goals.
Creative, inclusive
In all my work across coaching, therapy and supervision I love using creativity to unlock change.
With decades of experience in LGBTQ+, disability and neurodiversity, I prize diversity of thought and identity - what makes you you.
Evidence-led
Trained in a range of coaching tools, mediation, quality improvement and trauma-informed practice, I hold a certificate in supervision, Postgraduate Advanced Diploma in Coaching, an MSc and a PhD in Counselling & Psychotherapy.
