Coaching With Me
Most of my work is now done over Zoom, allowing you to engage in coaching from the comfort of your own home. All you need is a reliable internet connection, some privacy for our session, and perhaps a comforting cuppa!
I'll be in my home office, which is very private and allows me to focus completely on you. I recall when I was first training as a coach, my supervisor suggested I do some of my sessions on line... Back then, (it was pre-COVID days), I thought how ludicrous! I NEED to be in the room with my clients for the session to be successful for them! How wrong I was. I honestly now believe that it is even easier to establish a comfortable rapport on screen.
I love this quote by Nancy Kline: ‘In the quiet presence of your attention... important things can happen.... Fresh ideas can emerge; confusion can dissipate; painful feelings can subside; creativity can explode.’
Deep listening during our session allows you the space to gain clarity on the issues you bring and to move forward with confidence.
Personal Development Coaching
Coaching is not about telling, teaching or advising.
The power is shared between us.
As a coach, I will listen, ask questions and reflect back what I've heard, we work together to help you to find your own solutions.
My solutions or your partner or best friends solutions are not necessarily the right ones for you. We will find yours!
We may use a blend of models and theories to deepen your understanding of self, alongside personal exploration and reflection. We may also use journal prompts if this works for you.
Together, we’ll consider the ‘what’ 'when' 'where' 'why and ‘how’ of your next steps, moving forward in a way that feels right for you.
Mentoring for Leadership
With over 20 years of management experience and an MSc in Leadership, I understand the unique pressures and complexities that come with leadership roles. In addition to team and service leadership, I have worked in Corporate roles, including Service Improvement, Service Transformation and as an Organisational Development Specialist.
My mentoring approach is practical, supportive, flexible and tailored to you, to help you strengthen your leadership impact and find balance.
I’m here to support you in building stronger teams, navigate challenges, and foster a positive, resilient workplace culture.
Together, we’ll work to uncover strategies that align with your core values as a leader, empowering you and your team to thrive.
We can use NLP and psychometrics to give you a further layer of understanding and skill to enhance your communication and work relationships.
For those at a career crossroads, you may wish to take advantage of my bespoke Career Values session.
This is often a two hour deep dive to help you to explore your unconscious career motivators.
Emotional Freedom Technique
EFT is gentle and powerful and backed by science.
Research has shown that EFT works by reducing cortisol levels, helps to instil a sense of calm and supports overall health and well-being.
It is also a powerful technique to support the processing and healing of trauma, fears and phobias, as well as shifting limiting beliefs.
Self limiting beliefs are negative statements that prevent you from doing things. They are often based on assumptions and unconscious narratives that we have created earlier in our lives. They may have served us once to keep us safe and loved but they are no longer needed.
They often look and sound like this:
I'm not good enough
I'm not worthy of...
I don't have enough time
This is too hard
I'm not ready for this
Most people have negative beliefs, they are quite normal... BUT.... If they are dictating your future and holding you back EFT is a really useful tool.

Together we'll map out your goals with personalised coaching and the calming power of EFT to create the life you desire.
Personalised Individual Coaching
The European Mentoring and Coaching Council, (EMCC) state that "Coaching is an art: that of helping a person or a group to develop and enhance their professional, relational and personal potential in the realisation of their projects and to take their rightful place in the relationship they have with themselves, others and their environment....
...Coaching is an approach that can also be adapted to support a team or an organisation, whatever its area of activity."
Please get in touch if you would like to discuss coaching with me, whether personally or on behalf of your team or organisation.
EFT Techniques
I often suggest using EFT Tapping alongside traditional coaching to help release self-limiting beliefs that may be unconsciously holding us back from moving forwards
"EFT or “Tapping” is a body/mind self-help method that is easy to learn and flexible enough to be used by anyone. It involves tapping with fingertips on acupuncture points on the hands, face and body while giving focused attention to uncomfortable thoughts and feelings.
When we are willing to face negative emotions like guilt, hurt, fear or anger while tapping (instead of trying to fight them or push them away), we can experience surprising relief. After just a few rounds of EFT tapping, for example, people often report feeling lighter, calmer and able to breathe more easily.
In addition to providing relief from stress when we need it, EFT tapping can be also used therapeutically to help us address the roots of our problems and make lasting changes." Definition from EFT International.https://eftinternational.org/discover-eft-tapping/what-is-eft-tapping/
