I am a professionally qualified executive coach and mentor (ILM Level 7) and I have over 30 years’ experience in Human Resources and Development where I have coached people at all levels. I have worked in the public and private sectors including education, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, transport and consultancy sectors for large global companies and small businesses. I am a Chartered Member of the Institute of Personnel and Development (MCIPD), and I am fully qualified in a range of psychometric tools through the British Psychological Society. I work within the Code of Ethics and Good Practice through the EMCC (European Mentoring and Coaching Council). I work with people at all levels covering leadership development, career change, and personal challenges in the workplace. I use different coaching models and tools, dependant on the individuals learning style and the goals they want to achieve. My approach to coaching is always coachee led, providing a supportive and safe space to learn and reflect so that the coachee has the best experience, focusing on their strengths to reach their full potential. I have a special interest and experience in neurodiversity coaching in the workplace. I am calm and empathetic with curiosity and compassion for others to develop, grow and be the best they can. I am committed to encouraging equality, diversity, and inclusion in the coaching and mentoring work I do by embracing differences and respecting the uniqueness of every individual.
