About me

Creative coaching has evolved from various activities I have undertaken throughout my life, including sewing, knitting, crocheting, glass painting, cooking, gardening, drawing, painting, writing and playing the piano.

I have been passionate about personal development since reading Scott Peck’s ‘The Road Less Travelled’ when I was about 10 years old.  I qualified in advice and guidance initially, but found there were a greater number of ‘ah-ha’ moments using coaching methods and completed a diploma in life coaching through the Coaching Academy in September 2005.

I have experience of working with people from a variety of backgrounds, from senior managers, to those who are excluded from society for various reasons.  I am also a registered ‘Train the Trainer’ tutor (CIEH), and qualified to assess NVQs in coaching as an Associate Assessor with the Coaching Academy.

Reflecting is vital to me, making sure I am able to learn from each experience in order to improve my practice.  I also receive regular supervision from another qualified life coach, to ensure the consistent quality and ongoing improvement of my sessions.

I have been able to achieve the following by having my own coach:

★    Career progression in line with my values

★    Stopped smoking

★    Lost three stone in weight

★    Ran three half marathons (having previously believed it was completely impossible!)

★    Ran the London Marathon in 2005 – a lifelong dream

★    Volunteered in India as part of a four month journey
