Biography:

I am a self- employed Consultant and work for many providers as a Coach, Facilitator, Mentor, Course Writer, Podcaster, Assessor and Trainer. I also take on Interim Headship Work across the North of England.

I am a Coach for a major provider on the Early Career Headship Offer. I am also a Performance Coach for NPQSL. I am a qualified Coach for Middle Leaders and Masters in Teaching and Learning. I have been a Coach in Primary and Secondary settings for over 15 years. I work for several providers, offering Coaching.

As a Coach, my fundamental values revolve around empathy, authenticity, and growth. I believe in creating a safe and supportive environment where individuals can explore their goals, challenges, and aspirations without fear of judgment. Empathy is at the core of my coaching practice, as I strive to truly understand my clients' perspectives, emotions, and experiences in order to guide them effectively.

My coaching style is characterised by a collaborative and participant-centred approach. I view coaching as a partnership where the participant is the expert on their own life, and my role is to ask powerful questions, provide feedback, and offer tools and techniques to help them unlock their full potential. I believe in the power of active listening and reflection, and I work closely with my coachees to co-create meaningful action plans that align with their values and aspirations.

In terms of my approach, I believe in a strengths-based and holistic perspective. I focus on helping clients identify and leverage their strengths, values, and passions to create sustainable change and achieve their goals.

I also recognise the interconnectedness of various aspects of life, such as career, relationships, health, and personal development, and address these areas in a comprehensive manner to support my participants in achieving balance and fulfilment.

I am committed to ongoing learning and growth as a Coach, and I continuously seek to enhance my skills and knowledge through training, supervision, and self-reflection. I am also dedicated to maintaining the highest ethical standards in my practice, ensuring confidentiality, respect, and integrity in all interactions with my participants.
