With over 20 years’ experience in coaching, I’ve worked with a wide range of people in various different ways. I initially began my coaching practice by working with global senior leaders on their development challenges. I still do this, but over time I’ve expanded my expertise. In addition to coaching individuals I often work as a team coach with senior leadership teams. Each new project or role has developed my experience and clarified my purpose to help others thrive through conversation.

When I’m supervising other coaches, I’m reminded of the trust our clients place in us, and how vital non-judgemental conversations are in a coaching environment. Not easy when we have biases and make assumptions as part of life. As an accredited Resilience Coach, I undertake accreditation for other coaches moving into this space, a regular reminder of how resilience and wellbeing are connected.

I see the broad spectrum of mental health from my work on a crisis line and I also work with Mental Health First Aid England, to raise awareness of mental health and deliver training courses in the workplace. The breadth of my portfolio enables me to shape perspectives and to help you to do the same.

Across all these conversations in varying environments, I am regularly reminded that the complexity and simplicity of mind and body, context, professional and personal are irrevocably intertwined. As such, you will find that any conversation we have, may well expand beyond the key area you’re interested in exploring, just like in real life.

So, if a conversation shifts to talking about looking after chickens, horse riding or rural living it could be because my own outside work interests are about to provide a different take on something!
