About me
What's in it for you?
Imagine having a friend that you could talk to about how you are feeling, who wants to understand you and wants to just listen to you without offering any judgement or advice; someone impartial and independent that you can use as a sounding board to explore all the possibilities in your life. I am that curious companion that you are looking for!
Coaching is a way of helping you to move forward with goals, decision making or understanding yourself. I can help you to see your current situation from different points of view, understand your own thought processes and feel more confident about the choices you make.
How will this help you?
Everyone makes hundreds of decisions all the time, from what time to get up or go to bed, to what to wear, eat, say or do, every day. Most of us know what we want from something like a new car or a new home or other things that we invest in. But how often have you stopped to consider what qualities you have, what values drive you or what you look for in other people? Do you know why you click with some people but clash with others for no apparent reason, or what you could do to change that? I can help you to get to know yourself, which will lead to better relationships, more confidence and a deeper understanding of your own needs.
Why choose me? I am a parent, a teacher and a leader. I value connection, empathy, strong relationships and trust. I want to offer you a safe, open space in which you are able to explore your thinking and challenge your boundaries, in order for you to grow as a person. With over 24 years’ experience of working in schools, as well as being a single parent and business owner, I am passionate about helping people to unlock their own answers and create positive change in their lives. I love to work with people who are open to personal growth and ready to make a difference to their own lives. If that sounds like you, what are you waiting for?

Further information
I work mainly online or in person and it is important that you feel comfortable. If we are meeting in person I will offer you a tea or coffee so feel free to bring one with you if we meet online! If we are working online or over the phone, please make sure you are somewhere that you feel able to speak freely and away from distractions, so that you can relax and get the most out of the session that you can.
Expectations
I will not:
- offer advice or tell you what I think you should do
- offer my opinion on your situation
- try to analyse your past life events, although we may touch on these as part of the coaching journey
- ask you to speak about anything that you are not comfortable with.
I will:
- ask questions so I can get a better understanding of your thinking and empathise with you
- encourage you to connect to your vision for your future
- challenge your thinking around the barriers that exist for you
- be fully present with you in the session and listen to you
- hold you accountable when you need me to, in order to help you reach your goals
- offer you a safe, non-judgemental, confidential space for you to invest that time in yourself.
The sessions do not follow a set format because open conversation will take you where you want to go.
