About us
Maggie works gently with people who want changes in their lives. She will help you make visible what is happening for you in a way that will support you to make heartfelt and thoughtful choices about your future.
Sometimes you have a nagging feeling that something needs to change, or you start to have health issues which are trying to get your attention and ask you to change, and at other times the need to change is clear and urgent. Whatever stage you are at in your understanding of what changes you want or need to make, Maggie will gently bring her 30 years experience to help you make the invisible visible and then choose what actions you want to take next, with her support.
Maggie will work with you in whatever way is most supportive to you, face to face in her coaching room, walking in nature or online - or any combination of these.
As well as coaching, Maggie is a supervisor and writes articles about personal and organisational change.

Further information
I offer individual and team coaching, business consultancy and supervision, often using nature as a co-coach. We could be sitting in a cabin watching wildlife, walking amongst the trees, , walking a local footpath or being in your favourite natural place. Together we can experiment with the best places for you and I will be there to encourage and support you as your ideas ebb and flow and begin to take shape. Once you have shaped an idea or goal we can explore and experiment with what comes next.
The Practise
A typical coaching experience includes:
Settling in to the place where we are meeting for our coaching session by noticing the sounds, sights and smells around us for a few minutes.
Bringing to awareness the issue(s) that you most want to deal with and working together to find out where to focus first - what is most figural for you here and now.
Keeping the question you are focusing on in your mind look around and see where you are drawn to go. This may take many forms including...
- walking and talking
- looking closely at a leaf bud or other natural object
- collecting items to map out(constellate) people and issues you want to explore
- drawing
- writing
- sitting in the cabin and looking out at nature and talking
You may want to repeat steps 2 and 3 a few times as your understanding grows. As the session closes we reflect on what has happened, how your awareness has changed, identify any actions you wish to take and finally consider what is left to do, if anything.
