Through my work with individuals, groups and organisations, I am able to guide and inspire. I work in an informal, interactive way which removes tension and allows people to feel comfortable quickly. I believe that focused intentional conversation is an effective vehicle for exchanging information which gives rise to new perspectives - both in the professional arena and the personal.
My forty year working background is in Mental Health and Education. I've always been fascinated by the way we think, and the role that thinking plays ultimately in the quality of our lives. I've learned that there are no "right" or "wrong" ways, that patience and tolerance are the most useful tools in the Tool Box.
My previous work experience includes Nursing (in many capacities including Training and Lecturing), Clinical Director for a Mental Health Organisation. and Owner/Manager of two Early Childhood Centres for ten years. In 2008 I set up my own consulting practice focusing on Life Coaching, Clinical/Professional Supervision, and Transformational Thought Training.
On a personal note I am married and have four children aged between twenty three and thirty two and six grandchildren.
As a Coach, Mentor and Teacher I do my best work when I have a smaller case-load. This means I have a limited number of spaces available - but you can be assured that you will get 100% of me. Great Coaching results come through the development of a supportive and trusting relationship filled with inspiring and honest conversations. These things I can promise you!
Could we work together?
If you're ready and willing to take a leap of faith, then - Yes definitely. If you have an open mind, are excited at the prospect of new perspectives and personal growth then it's your time. My ideal client knows that the investment they make in themselves time-wise and financially is solid. They value the rewards - not only for themselves, but their significant others, families, friends and colleagues who will also experience the huge positive benefits of their increased "well-being"
What you can expect from me ...
100% commitment, and complete respect for confidentiality. Also, the benefit of 40 years experience and skill. A sense of humour. Kindness and honesty. Homework! and, a genuine desire for your success.
