Integrative Coaching, Neuro-affirming Support and Professional Facilitation for Individuals and Organisations.
Coaching & Counselling
I meet you where you are at, hold space and empower you with tools and confidence to live a rewarding and authentic life.
Integrative Facilitation
I don’t just facilitate the agenda, I facilitate the people. I help teams uncover the unspoken barriers to their success.
Neurodiversity Support
I offer a safe, integrative space where everyone is valued, everyone has talent, and, most importantly, no one is ‘normal’.
About me and my practice
I am a hiker, a sailor and a baker. I love being outdoors, I love exploring and using my talents to make things that are useful. I am naturally curious and seek to understand, not judge. I have worked as a learning facilitator, a transformation consultant and a coach for over 20 years.
The theme that runs through my career has been a passion for fairness, opportunity and facilitating positive transformation. I received a diagnosis of ADHD as an adult (so if you find a typo, you know why …) and I realised how much I had benefitted from my neurodivergent talent to bring creative thinking, connect with people authentically and get to the root of the problem quickly: but also the support that I had received along the way.
My practice is predicated on my setting aside any agenda that I might have other than to be professional and to use my knowledge and skill to support others on their journey. Any professional that works with me, is committed to this approach and to the three core conditions for growth:
- Empathy
- Congruence
- Unconditional Positive Regard
Integrative Philosophy
Facilitation, coaching and counselling takes many guises and there are many practitioners offering their own services. The difference I bring is that I myself and every one of the coaches that works with me, has been trained to a minimum of level 3 in counselling and is competent to create and maintain the right conditions in which clients and groups can talk, share and grow in confidence and in practice. We are also a broad practice and seek to incorporate physical, spiritual and lifestyle practices that complements the counselling informed coaching.
- Mindfulness
- Pranayama (Yogic Breathing)
- Meditation
- Forest Bathing
- Physical Movement
“You have a really considered and thoughtful approach, this has really helped. I appreciated your observations and inputs.”
I do not offer psychotherapeutic services and while I am trained to BACP standards and subscribe to their ethics, I do not describe Myself as a psychotherapist. I observe regular internal supervision to ensure that I am doing the right thing by my clients, providing value and benefit and observing best practice, ethics and safe boundaries.
