About me

I coach leaders in transitional stages of their careers to do their best thinking so that they can do even better work with confidence and purpose.

 I work as a dual registered accredited therapist and Coach.  I am a British Psychological Society Chartered Coaching Psychologist and HCPC registered Child and Educational Psychologist who working with families for many years.

I specialise in working with individuals who in their busy lives, may not have had time to think about what is really important to them for quite some time.

People who have worked with me have described me as motivating, warm, loyal, empathetic, a good listener and caring - especially after I have had a decent cup of coffee in the morning!

I have worked with senior leaders in public services, education practitioners, teams, families, young people, those considering a career change, those taking a new leadership role, redundancy or returning to work and those planning for retirement - I work with people who are interested in their self-development and who want to make positive changes in their own lives and those around them. My role is to work with you to do your best thinking. As a Coaching Psychologist we can work at depth to move forward in the NOW at a pace to suit your individual needs and preferences. 

My belief is that we all need to have a strong sense of our values (to know what matters).

As a highly experienced Coaching Psychologist, I have the skills and knowledge to help you identify your values which you can then use intentionally to live a full and purposeful life with capacity to live to your full transformative potential. To enable resilience, even whilst experiencing periods of uncertainty, and volatility.

My fee starts at £150 for each 90 minutes session. These fees are on a pay-as-you-go basis and you only pay for those sessions that you use as long as you adhere to my 72 hour cancellation policy. You are free to cancel further sessions at any time with 72 hours notice.  Typically most clients work with me for 8 sessions taken over 6-12 months. Unlike therapy or counselling, these sessions can be taken over a longer period of time with useful gaps to enable you to put into action some of the changes that you want to make before we meet again to review progress and to continue to refine your goals and planning for moving forwards. 

I also offer :

1. Counselling for trainee counsellors at an affordable rate

2. Consultation for education practitioners

3. Psychometric and other education assessment of strengths and challenges for children and young neurodiverse people.

4. Wellbeing Supervision for professional groups and individuals

Please contact me for further details of these offers if interested.

Please feel free to contact me for a conversation to see if I am the coach that you want to work with. I do not believe in 'hard sells'. These 20 minute calls will help you to decide if coaching is for you and whether I am the coach for you with no obligation to go forward unless you want to.

I am able to use and adapt a wide variety of skills, models, approaches and knowledge gained over time to work with your individual strengths and needs.
