About Me

My interest in coaching initially came from seeing the impact that coaching conversations had when I was supporting the development of teachers and students in an education setting. My passion for coaching continues to be fuelled by continued learning and development and my own personal transformational experience as a result of working with a coach. 

I am an experienced and qualified coach with a masters degree in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology. I have a degree in Psychology. I am an EMCC Accredited coach at the Senior Practitioner Level (European Mentoring and Coaching Council), a graduate member of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and a general member of the BPS Division of Coaching Psychology. I work guided by the the code of conduct and ethics and the standards published by the BPS. I am also a certified SPARK Facilitator. 

I have a keen interest in research in the growing field of Coaching Psychology. My own research paper on the sustained impact of coaching was published in the July 2024 edition of the BPS journal International Coaching Psychology Review.
