“How much energy do you waste blocking out your emotions?  Being free to express your emotions, in all their colors, is the ultimate gift to yourself. Life is so much easier when you can feel what you feel without blocking or pretending. You will find that your capacity to enjoy life will increase, along with your energy level!"

I have a special interest in working with people who have experienced deep trauma. When you acknowledge and process your experiences, your past does not adversely affect your present and you are free to create your future.

I encourage my clients to look within for their answers, and to treat themselves with sensitivity and respect.  The answer is always within, if you will only be still and listen.

I have always been very inwardly aware and ‘talking to myself’ is as natural to me as breathing. My life has taken many twists and turns, some amazing, others traumatic (being widowed a few months after giving birth ranks high on that score......). I believe that you can learn and grow from anything life throws at you, and it is the meaning you attach to your experiences which determines whether you sink, tread water, or swim across the ocean. “

I am passionate about enabling people to discover and apply all of their internal resources, to maximize achievement of their most important goals. By bringing your whole self to your work and personal life, you will experience much greater levels of satisfaction, success and fulfillment.  With a BSc (Hons) in Applied Biology I started my career as a research scientist, before moving across to corporate life. As a Business Intelligence consultant within a leading IT and business services company, I worked with many clients in a broad range of industry sectors, increasing business productivity and profitability.  As a coach, with sensitivity and compassion, I apply my detailed analytical approach to guide clients to deepen self awareness and remove the unconscious limitations that prevent them reaching their full potential. I have worked with senior managers to fine tune their communication style and personal effectiveness, leading to improved business performance and personal fulfillment. I have worked with entrepreneurs and business leaders to unleash creativity and cement positive beliefs resulting in enhanced performance and business profitability.  I am passionate about bringing out the best in people, and having them play to their strengths so that everyone wins.  I am a certified NLP Coach, (having undergone intensive training accredited by the International Coaching Federation), a Master Practitioner in Neuro-Linguistic Programming and also a Birkman Certified Consultant.
