About
Coaching style
My approach to coaching is non-directive. This means that I seek not to give you advice but to work in a collaborative way to help you unlock the solutions you need to achieve your goals. By using enquiry and reflection, I will support you to increase your own awareness of what you want in life and to reach greater clarity.
Background&
credentials
After a long career in journalism, training and corporate communications, I moved into the education sector. This experience sparked an interest in coaching and development and I found working with teenagers both rewarding and challenging, Alongside working as a coach at a FE college, I completed my academic training to be a qualified coach.
I hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Coaching from the University of Warwick and have many years of experience as a trainer of groups and individuals. I also hold a CIPD Certificate in Training Practice from Hampshire Business Skills and a Diploma in Counselling Skills, awarded by NCFE. I am qualified as a Mental Health First Aider for both adults and young people.

I am an Associate of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council and abide by the Global Code of Ethics for Coaches, Mentors and Supervisors. I also engage in continuous professional development (CPD).
