Coaching
Coaching leaders, I use all of me to help all of you.
So you can do your best thinking, overcome your challenges and achieve your full potential. Can we connect?
I am accredited as a Senior Coach Practitioner
by EMCC Global - the European Mentoring and Coaching Council.
Therapy-trained, I am also a member of the coaching division of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
In a diverse career I have 25 years' UK board
experience across business
(corporate law), the public sector (NHS, education
and emergency services) and the voluntary sector
(arts & heritage, community and healthcare).
Among the challenges
I work with are:
- Change
- Work/life balance
- Confidence
- Culture and diversity
- Emotional intelligence
- Communication and influencing
- Difficult people/ situations
Supervision
My supervision training covers a range of helping professions. I have worked with coaches, counsellors & psychotherapists, spiritual directors and clergy.
My foundation is person-centred and holistic: I encourage you to bring your whole self, including your need for self-care, to the supervision space.
I integrate Hawkins & Shohet's 7 eyed model, for the 6 processes of supervision (Leach & Paterson) and 5 tasks of supervision (a modification of Inskipp & Proctor). I also use creative approaches to supervision.
Therapy
How can I help?
Are you finding life harder than usual? Struggling to find somewhere just to be yourself – or feeling unsure who you are anymore? As a qualified therapist I can provide a safe space to listen to what you really want to say, without judging you for what you do, say, think or feel.
Working with a “person-centred” approach, I accept you, your thoughts, feelings and actions, as you are, without judging you. While I have professional training and life experience, I also take the view that you are the expert on yourself. I seek to bring a warmth and gentleness to my approach, which can help us to face deep and difficult issues together.
I am a BACP accredited psychotherapist. I have an MSc and PhD in counselling and psychotherapy.
Who & what can I help?
I work with:
Anxiety and stress
Bereavement, grief, caring, terminal illness and other types of loss
Bullying and harassment

My professional experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist includes private practice and working for an adult hospice, a community youth charity and an employee & volunteer support service.
