My career started in the NHS as a Dietitian so I'm well versed in supporting people achieve their goals in a supportive and collaborative way.
I continued to use my scientific background in the Pharma industry and know that I've made a big difference to Health Care Professionals and their patients as well as colleagues in the varied roles that I have held. My LinkedIn page has recommendations from people that I have supported over the years in my many years in Learning and Development.
The science of psychology has always fascinated me. It was part of my degree; used every day as a Dietitian as I supported people make significant changes in their life; and bringing up my children!
Making a difference in the lives of those that I coach using positive psychology, is the icing on the proverbial cake!
My first clients were all people who had met or worked with me previously. That is such an endorsement of the trust that they were willing to place in me.
From a personal perspective, I believe that my life story makes me extra supportive as a coach, too.
As the sole breadwinner for my two children after my marriage fell apart, I weathered 5 redundancies! So I've had my fair share of unanticipated change and 'mountains to climb'. I was lucky enough to be made of strong stuff. Looking back, it could have been so much easier, if I had had the dedicated time and space with a Coach to sort out my overwhelm and "inner voices".
I would have had greater confidence in me; trusted my instincts and made decisions sooner. I could have talked about my guilt of being a working Mum, needing to provide and not seeing enough of my beautiful children.
It was only when I became a freelance consultant after my 5th redundancy, that I had the flexibility to cook and eat an evening meal with them regularly. And it felt like heaven.
What would feel like heaven to you?
I still have a thank you card from a lady who I supported throughout her weight loss journey in the hope that it would help her fertility.

What could I support you achieve?
