About me
Life is too short to be unhappy. I coach people to embrace change and get more out of their life.
During the last year, life has changed for many of us and as we get back to a new "normal" we begin to wonder what normal life will be like in the future. Now is the perfect time to reflect on what is important in your life and what you want for your future.
Together, we can identify what you want for the future and find ways for you to move forward to achieve your goals.
I am currently offering coaching via Zoom and have discounted offers available for life coaching. Please contact me to find out more.
I am a qualified and professional life and business coach with over 35 years of helping people through change.
I strive to get the most out of my own life and to have fun and joy along the way. I am a coach, a counsellor and a mentor but most of all someone who likes to live life to the full and strives to help others do the same.
I have a lifetime of experience of motivating and empowering people. I have a career of leadership within charities which has focused on enabling people of all ages and from all walks of life and backgrounds to reach their potential.
It is my passion for enabling people make positive changes that led me to train initially as a Therapeutic Counsellor and subsequently as a level 7 Coach and Mentor. Together with my continued training in NLP, Mindfulness and Stress Management, I can share a range of tools and techniques with you to help you achieve your goals.
