Biography:

I am the founder of RenewEd, a coaching company dedicated to supporting the wellbeing and professional development of those in education and beyond. With over 30 years of experience in the sector, including a decade as a secondary headteacher, I bring deep insight into the complexities of leadership, career change, and workplace wellbeing.

My approach is empathetic, empowering, and rooted in integrity. I create a confidential, non-judgemental space where clients can reflect, refocus, and move forward with confidence. My coaching style is client centred and solution focused, combining over 20 years of embedded leadership coaching experience with formal training in executive, wellbeing, and life coaching. I have worked extensively with school leaders, Governors, and senior professionals; helping them navigate challenges, clarify goals, and lead with authenticity.

I use both the GROW and SOAR frameworks to support structured, meaningful progress. I am also integrating NLP techniques to help clients shift unhelpful thought patterns, deepen self-awareness, and take purposeful action.

A growing part of my work includes career change coaching, where I have had significant success supporting clients to explore new directions, build confidence, and transition into roles that better reflect their values and strengths. I also offer specialist coaching for school Governors, enabling them to reflect on their strategic role and increase their impact in complex governance settings.

I believe in a holistic coaching approach that values the whole person. By integrating wellbeing and leadership development, I empower clients to make sustainable changes, both personally and professionally, and move forward with clarity, balance, and renewed energy.
