I have a Diploma in Coaching from Coaching Development and am a member of the International Coach Federation.

I have also completed a certified Transactional Analysis, TA 101 course and the Introduction to the Skilled Facilitator Approach with Roger Schwarz. 

My current coaching work includes:
  • Coaching teachers on a range of subjects including communication, time management and behaviour management.
  • Coaching individuals seeking career definition and development.
  • Group Coaching with parents looking to put their intuition at the heart of their parenting.
  • Mentor Coach on Coaching Development's Diploma in Coaching.

My current work as a facilitator includes:

  • Working with the Senior Leadership Team of an Academy on the development of their line management policy and practice.
  • A workshop for legal professionals on being both proactive and comfortable in marketing and networking situations.
  • Co-facilitating a long term programme in a London Academy in which several teams are developing and implementing a range of dynamic projects. These projects build on current strengths as well as incorporating innovative ideas. The impact is to inject energy and drive into the school by finding new and different ways of working and communicating.
  • Working with Heads of Year and a Student Needs Team on communication with students and parents.

As a coach and facilitator, I create a space in which clients can step back and see things differently, sparking real growth and sustainable change.

My clients find themselves liberated and empowered by accessing the things that they had known on a deep level but had not yet brought to the surface.

I confront and test established and unhelpful patterns and encourage my clients to identify the internal and external resources that will help them to move forward. 

My coaching offers warmth and a lightness of touch as well robustness and challenge.

I came to coaching after spending 11 years in education, 9 of them in a challenging London comprehensive, culminating in a senior management role with responsibility for student needs and behaviour.

My experiences in schools grew my belief in the potential of every individual.

Coaching has shown me how that belief can become something palpable. 

Creativity, energy and esteem arise from knowing that you are being heard, from understanding that there are always choices and from truly owning the choices that you make.

As a member of The International Coach Federation I am fully committed to its Code of Ethics, philosophy, principles and standards.

The Muhammad Ali quotation on my home page was sent to me by a client in response to the work we had done together. As well as being thrilled to hear the impact of the work, I found that it summed up perfectly the effect that great coaching and facilitation has had on me. It is my belief in and commitment to creating spaces in which people can understand what is true for them, what they want, and how they can move forward confidently and positively, that drives the way I work.
