About me

I'm a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with over 1,000 hours of coaching experience, supporting more than 350 clients.

I work with clients across 3 key areas:

  1. Career & Business Coaching
  2. Wellbeing Coaching
  3. Personal Development & Life Coaching

I work with men and women at various ages and life stages with different needs. Coaching topics often include:

  • Self Discovery 
  • Values, Passion & Purpose
  • Vision-Setting
  • Life Change & Life Goals
  • Career Change & Promotion 
  • Confidence & Limiting Beliefs
  • Communication
  • Anxiety & Worry
  • Stress & Burnout
  • Healthy Lifestyle

COACHING METHODS

I use a combination of discussion and exercises to help you better understand who you are, what you want and how to achieve your goals.

Coaching is delivered in 1 of 3 ways to best suit each client and each session:

  1. Face to Face Coaching - I have a Private Coaching Room providing full privacy to talk in confidence.  I also meet face to face across Nottingham
  2. Outdoor Coaching - Walks in nature are a great way to shift thinking and can be both relaxing and stimulating
  3. Online Coaching - A very convenient method favoured by many clients.  Zoom allows me to support clients all cross the UK and internationally.

""It's given me a clearer picture of who I am, what drives and motivates me, my strengths and ultimately how I can use this for the greater good to be a better leader and to inspire my team​."

"You put me at ease and gave me space to think about things a different way"

Training, qualifications & experience

TRAINING

I trained with Barefoot Coaching Ltd in 2017 which involved 162 hours of contact time, regular observations, feedback and a final assessment.

I now train and mentor new coaches.

QUALIFICATIONS

  • Professional Certified Coach (PCC)
  • Postgraduate Certificate in Business & Personal Coaching (PGCert)
  • Mental Health First Aider (MHFA)
  • Member of the International Coach Federation (ICF)

COACHING EXPERIENCE

My coaching experience includes men and women of various ages, at different life stages and with different needs.

I've worked with directors, business owners, senior managers, graduates and students; with ambitious clients who know what they want and with those  looking to re-set and explore a new direction.

I've helped clients gain promotions, change careers and redirect their business.  I've helped others build confidence, rediscover who they are and change their lifestyle to optimise their wellbeing.  

​Everyone is different.  Everyone is an individual.  And that's the fascination!

BEYOND COACHING

Prior to coaching I have over 10 years' managerial experience, working in numerous roles in corporate, academic, private and SME companies. 

I have an academic background in Sport Science (BSc), Human Nutrition (MMedSci) and am a Registered Nutritionist (RNutr).  I'm also an Honorary Assistant Professor at the University of Nottingham where I support new business owners.

Outside of work I love personal challenges:  I've run 2 marathons, completed the National 3 Peaks and walked the length of Hadrian's Wall with friends.  I also have over 20 years experience in martial arts which has played a core role in my appreciation for personal growth, discipline and mind-body connection.
