About Me

I trained with Animas in 2021 and I have since accrued over 100 coaching hours - both one to one and in group settings. I’ve been a parent for 27 years (4 children) and I’ve been a teacher for 18 years. In school I’ve been a subject leader for English and a pastoral lead in the sixth form.

My experience, in both my professional and personal life, has enabled me to really know young people and what their challenges are. I’ve also had the privilege of working with many, many parents and I know the challenges faced from this end too!

I’ve been:
- the teenage parent
- the separated and then divorced parent
- the blended family parent
- the parent to a teenager!
- the parent with different children of different ages and with different needs at different time….

I know parenting in many guises, shapes and forms and I know that, sometimes, no amount of ‘self-care’is enough. Sometimes you need tools to get back to yourself, in order to move forward in a way that feels right for you.

My ultimate goal through coaching is to have a positive impact and lasting transformative change on as many people as possible. I choose to work with teachers, parents and young people because I believe that these three groups of people are key in shaping the future.

I offer pure coaching, so there will be no advice from my end, but there will be a shift and this will come from your thinking.

If you’re struggling to make progress in a relationship; if you can’t see which way is up right now; if you just feel generally ‘not ok’ - I’d like to work with you. I offer one free session and very reasonable rates for follow up sessions.

Clarity - Building confidence in making the best possible decision for you.
