WORKING WITH ME

I provide an open, empathetic and non-judgmental space for you to explore your challenges in a safe and supported way enabling you to talk, think, reflect and feel empowered to come up with personal solutions. 

​We will work collaboratively in an honest and reflective way, to understand what holds you back and what needs to happen for you to move forward. 

You will develop a greater understanding of, and compassion towards, yourself; clarifying what is truly important to you; what inspires and motivates you. Giving you the confidence and self-belief to make real, positive change.

Acknowledging you are unique, I tailor the one-to-one coaching to your specific needs; drawing on tools and techniques relevant to you, your personal situation and your own style of learning.

I support charities through one to one coaching, group coaching, workshops and facilitated discussions.
