I have over 20 years’ experience of working successfully with individuals and organisations as a coach, facilitator, and trainer. In my work I draw on my background as a research scientist, expedition leader, Gestalt counsellor & supervisor, trainer, and artist. I bring to coaching a depth of coaching experience with a wide variety of people at all organisational levels, employees, managers, senior managers, CEO’s and trustees/directors.

As a coach, I create and hold a space where you can bring all of yourself – thoughts, feelings, and sensations. I bring my curiosity, a love of discovery and the ability to look at things from different perspectives and support people to experiment with new ways of thinking and doing things. I am comfortable working with metaphor and in other imaginative ways (if appropriate) and can sit with complexity, working with what emerges in the moment whilst also holding the coaching goal in mind.
