I'm focused on helping you reach your goals. I can't do the work for you but as a Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Life Coach, I aim to help you understand yourself more clearly.

Sometimes life just seems to get in the way of progress on the way to where you want to be. You may have noticed yourself saying...

I am so stressed at work.

I just wish I could stop feeling so anxious.

My relationship isn't working and I don't know what to do.

I feel really low and have been feeling like this for too long.

Will I ever get over this grief?

Working with you in a safe, confidential environment towards more awareness, knowledge, acceptance and self-esteem often helps clients maximise their own potential.

I have had some of the best training available in Counselling and Psychotherapy (BSc Hons in Counselling and Psychotherapy, MBACP) and have been working with Coaching clients (qualified to Chartered Management Institute and an Associate of the Chartered Institute for Personnel and Development) for well over a decade. I offer regular weekly appointments, after an initial discussion by phone, for short or longer term work depending on what you have the space for.

​

My practice is in Ravenshead, north of Nottingham, not far from Hucknall and Mansfield. I have experience in working with young people from my time with Nottingham Trent University; experience of working with older adults from working with the Carers Federation; and everything in between from my time in private practice and as a counsellor with Nottinghamshire MIND (where I continue to contribute as a Trustee for the Charity). I prefer to keep my private practice fairly small, giving me the time I need to focus on my clients.

​

Whether you feel the need to de-clutter your mind, are working through distress or need help with your direction, give me a call.

I'm focused on helping Coaches get good quality and affordable Supervision. As a Coach, Coach Supervisor, Mentor and Learning Development Professional myself, I aim to help you reflect on your life and work to make the shifts you feel may be needed.

Supervision of Coaching and Mentoring is essential to healthy practice both professionally and personally. None of us can continue without effective balance that gives us time to reflect and make adjustments where needed. If you drive you'll recognise the need to perform maintenance, do checks, re-focus and learn from experience and it is same with any Coaching and Mentoring.

I have been a coach for more than 20 years and have worked with public and private sector clients. I work across many specialities in Learning and Development, Leadership, Organisational Change and many others. 

I trained as a Coach Supervisor a couple of years ago with Steve Page, who you may know from his (and Val Wosket's) book 'Supervising the Counsellor and Psychotherapist' - a cyclical model. 

I keep my self busy across several roles, I am currently a Coach, Coach Supervisor, Counsellor, Psychotherapist, Mentor, Board Trustee for Mind, Learning and Development Consultant. I work with the NHS on coaching and leadership across a variety of settings both one-to-one and in groups with anyone from Pharmacists to Board Directors.

I work both face to face and by Zoom and telephone

I look forward to working with you.

Initially, we'll have a conversation about what you want from sessions and it will give us a chance to find out a little about each other and how best you and I work.

From that point we'll look at meeting (face to face or phone or Zoom) once a month or at an interval that suits you best in a timetable that meets your needs.
