About Me

BeyondTheBox-17.jpg

I am an ILM Level 7 qualified coach and hold an NLP Coach Diploma and Certificate in Trauma-Informed Coaching. I have over 100 hours of coaching practice since embarking on my coaching career in 2024. I am a member of The Association for Coaching and EMCC UK.

 

In addition to practicing as a coach, I work in a consultancy capacity supporting leadership development and team performance in a range of organisations.

 

My career has been varied, initially having completed a degree in Tourism and Business Management, I worked within the travel industry as a ski resort representative and as a tour operations manager for a company offering package holidays with Concorde.  From the tourism industry I moved into education, initially as a teacher before working for 14 years as a teacher educator and senior leader in a university and finally supporting Associate Lecturers in an online Higher Education Provider whilst also designing and leading teacher development in a range of settings in the UK and internationally.

 

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to develop skills in mentoring and coaching, supporting and challenging those with whom I worked alongside, educated and led.  Scaffolding the development of others is what motivates and drives me. This has led to me establishing my own coaching and consultancy agency with a vision of working to support people to flourish and thrive in their personal and professional lives.

 

Outside of my professional activities, I value time outdoors walking, mountain biking and skiing whilst also having a passion for cooking, wellbeing and health.

My Values and How These Underpin My Work

Values Word Cloud

Throughout my career, I have been driven and motivated to make a difference and a positive contribution wherever and however possible.  I underpin my coaching and consultancy work with my values of making a difference through providing frameworks for individuals, groups, teams and organisations to achieve transformational change.

 

What you see is what you get! All interactions within my work come from a place of authenticity.  Being confident and comfortable to show up in the World as our true selves is something I value and commit to my professional and personal interactions. There is no hierarchy in how I work: I am OK and You are OK.

 

Effective coaching and consultancy relationships thrive on a basis of trust.  Creating a trusting and psychologically safe environment is something I value for both me and my clients.  When such trust and safety is achieved transformational work can be undertaken.

 

Caring deeply for each client and the work we undertake together is something that is a core value of mine and with this comes demonstrable compassion.  I care for the outcome of the work, I care for the experience of the professional relationship, and I care for the individual showing compassion for the situations, issues and challenges being faced and presented. Each client I work with is unique and this is something I hold carefully. 

 

Enabling clients to explore challenges and solutions through a kaleidoscope lens by approaching our work together creatively is core to my practice.   I value creativity as a route to developing different ways of thinking and as a result achieving transformational change and within a safe and trusting environment encourage clients to take explorational approaches to unpick issues, challenges and problems.

 

Prioritising and engaging in our own wellbeing supports us to be the best version of ourselves in both our professional and personal lives.  The effectiveness of my practice is underpinned by my value of wellness both to ensure I am the best I can be as a consultant and coach but also through supporting you to focus on the role wellness plays in your own professional and personal life and how this can be further enhanced and enriched to allow you to be at your best.

 

Learning is the key to empowerment and is a core value that underpins my own engagement with the World as well as how I work with clients through both coaching and consultancy work.  I hold true that you, as the client, are already whole and that you have the wisdom within you to achieve your goals and positively address your challenges.  Valuing learning and approaching life with an open and growth mindset allows us to continually learn about our work, our environment, others and ourselves.  Such learning opens the door to transformational change and growth.
