About me
I have been coaching since 2009 and specialise in helping people to live their lives with increased purpose and meaning, build their confidence and resilience, find their strengths and tune into their intuition. I am also a coaching supervisor and design and deliver coach training within a central government organisation.
I have always had a passion for psychology and my psychological training unpins my coaching and supervision practice. I understand how the brain works and the ways in which it can trip us up and hold us back. Human beings are unique and brilliantly imperfect. Coaching can help you to understand your uniqueness and strengths, to accept your imperfections and to learn to manage your brain so that it is on your side instead of working against you. If you repeatedly find yourself thinking any of the following:
‘I don’t know enough’
‘I’m not good enough’
‘I’m not strong enough’
‘I must be perfect’
‘I must please others’
then coaching could help you to shift these beliefs, increasing your confidence and resilience.
I also support clients to tune into their intuition and imagination, generate new ideas and take a fresh perspective. In the western world we can be disconnected from our intuition and gut feelings. Logic and evidence are often more highly prized. As a result many of us really underuse our brains and can get stuck as a result. I coach and supervise in a way that enables clients to access all of their brain and their inner wisdom. You have many of the answers already, you just don’t know how to access them. Coaching will help you to gain clarity on your current challenge. You will also learn how to self-coach so that when future challenges arise you are able to tackle them with confidence and creativity.
One-to-one coaching and supervision takes place either online, over the phone or face-to-face as a walk and talk in Brighton, East Sussex.

Further information
You are unique and what you want to achieve and how you will achieve it will also be unique. For this reason your coaching programme will also be unique to you. If we work together I will design a coaching programme with you, that fits with who you are, what you want to achieve and how you want to get there.
All coaching programmes consist of a series of one to one sessions over a period of time. Each session may be 1 to 1.5 hours long and we may meet weekly, monthly or anywhere in between. We could meet in person in Brighton, by phone, online or a mix. All of this is worked out with you, ensuring your programme fits with what you want to work on and what works best for you.
Your first step
If you would like to talk through how coaching may be able to support you, the first step is to contact me for a free no obligation conversation. Here we can talk about what has brought you to coaching, answer all your questions, talk about what coaching involves and see if coaching is right for you.
If, after your initial call, you would like to go ahead we would set up your first coaching session.
Your first coaching session
Your first coaching session is one of the most important as we will explore what you want to achieve in detail, design your coaching programme and agree how we will work together to achieve your coaching aims. Your coaching programme will then continue as agreed.
