About me

I live in Brighton and have a practice in the Fiveways/Hollingbury area, as well as working at the Open Door Complementary Health Clinic in Lewes. Before becoming a coach and group facilitator I worked for many years with vulnerable adults and young families.  I have three sons and understand the predicament of having to juggle one’s own needs with the demands of a career and/or a family. I am committed to my own personal growth and engage in ongoing professional development.

My motivation for my work is a desire to empower others to make significant and lasting changes leading them to experience increased happiness and fulfillment.

I believe that in order to make progress, whether in 1-1 situations or in groups, people need to feel safe and supported, and accepted non-judgmentally. They need guidance to access their own wisdom and find their own solutions and I believe that I possess those qualities that allow this to happen. I have been told that I am approachable and compassionate, warm, and down-to-earth.

In addition to one-to-one coaching I also run workshops and courses in various aspects of personal development, including healthy eating on a budget; increasing self-esteem and confidence; assertiveness training; and weight management without diets.

I am available to give bespoke training or talks to groups (schools, businesses, community groups etc.) on stress or weight management and related topics – please contact me for further information.

I am also an associate tutor for Wellness Professionals at Work, which delivers flexible certificates, diplomas and CPD courses in many areas of coaching and business development. I deliver skills development training for trainee coaches on Diploma courses and assess their distance learning modules and case studies.

I am fully insured & am a member of the professional body Association for Coaching.
