​The best thing I ever did was to invest in personal development.  I was stuck in a rut with my health, my job and my life and had a very negative mindset. Once I took the decision to open my mind, take responsibility and do something about it, the rewards and benefits were transformational.
 
This experience as a client led me to re-train as a coach to enable others to experience the power of coaching and be the very best version of themselves possible too So they can maximise both their professional and personal lives. Since April 2017 I have worked with a growing portfolio of clients showing them how to increase their resilience, reduce their stress and get more out of work and life.

Why invest in coaching with me?

I have chosen to specialise in Emotional Intelligence and combines this knowledge with my NLP , Time Line Therapy™ and Navigational Conversations™ Coach training. I firmly believe in continuous learning and I am constantly studying and reading to add value to what I offers my clients.

  • I show my clients how to focus on positives not negatives. How to focus on opportunities and solutions not problems. I show them how to eliminate anger, frustration, fear and guilt. How to get rid of stress, anxiety and any other problems they feel are holding them back.
  • I show them how to focus on what they want both personally and professionally and set powerful goals with plans and strategies for their attainment. I teach them how to view things from a different perspective and how to deal with conflict, change and challenging situations in a calm manner.
  • Their results; better relationships and performance in their professional lives, leading to increased resilience, productivity, engagement and motivation. Better business results such as improved retention, increased sales, turnover and profit.
  • The bonus result is better relationships and performance at home too!
