My Approach

I've been called many things in my time (!), but recently a client called me her ‘modern-day guru’ as a marker of her appreciation of the extensive range of modalities, resources, tools, techniques, information, and ‘downloads’ I’ve gathered at my fingertips.

I’ve been doing this transformational work for a long time now and I’ve led an extensive range of diverse projects over the years that I draw on in my work. I take from a broad spectrum of creative, coaching, therapeutic, executive and personal development approaches, alongside my 40 years’ of lived experience and professional expertise in leadership, management, and direct work with people.

My academic and qualification background includes three degrees; in philosophy (BA), fine art (painting) (BA) and social work (MA), a groupwork & counselling Diploma, tarot training, co-counselling leadership, and membership of the Analytic Coaching Network at the EcoLeadership Institute.

My work is rooted in deep listening - to what’s said and not said. I am listening to hear and understand your wants and your blocks, and in response I ask incisive questions that aim to help you to understand yourself better. With increased awareness you are better equipped and empowered to help yourself to make plans, take action and work through any limiting beliefs that may hold you back.

My practice sits within a systemic intersectional feminist frame: we are all interconnected, and our experiences as people are both personal and political, inherently shaped by the systems we live and work in.

These Discovery workshop sessions focus on incisive and safe creative groupwork practices; questioning and reflection to drive real-world action. If you're looking for change or feeling stuck, the sessions will offer insights you can apply immediately to spark momentum and further change.
