My credentials

I’m an experienced and qualified coach, and follow the guidelines and code of practice of coaching organisations, such as the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and the Association of Coaching (AC).

I’ve worked with individuals in a number of organisations including Chester Zoo, Trafford Hall and Siemens.

 

Coaching focus

The focus of the coaching will depend on the outcomes required by the coachee and their organisation.

Focus areas include building confidence, enhancing performance, dealing with challenging situations. 

I have supported coachees to 

  • be effective in a new role
  • deal with challenging relationships
  • perform in a change management role
  • apply for a more senior role

I bring my extensive experience of the workplace (the good, the bad and the ugly), my knowledge of what is required to be successful in the workplace (the required beliefs, skills and behaviours) and my skills in coaching and in helping people learn and develop (a tool kit of tools and techniques). 

You can find out more about what I offer in the Coaching FAQ’s


I offer a complimentary chemistry conversation. A chat for us to get to know each other and for you to ask any questions you may have, about me, about the issues you want support with, about the coaching process.

You can contact me here.
