I am a Therapeutic Coach - which means I am both a qualified clinical psychotherapist and qualified coach. I combine these approaches in a unique way of working which integrates the empathic, explorative insight of psychotherapy with the dynamic, goal based approach of coaching. It is an exciting time - Therapeutic Coaching is fast emerging as a highly effective offering in the Coaching, Training and Mental Health space and I’m honoured to have a role in shaping its future as Chair of BACP’s Coaching Division. I came to Therapeutic Coaching from a background in Advertising and Media. As Senior Executive Network Producer on some of the UK’s biggest radio shows and brands I managed teams in a time pressured on-air environment before becoming a Presenter on the UK’s Heart Radio network. Personally, I’ve always loved talking to people and was often in trouble at school for it! This proved to me that what others tell you is your weakness can actually turn out to be your greatest strength because I went on to be paid for talking on the UK’s largest radio network 😊Some experiences stay with you and it shaped my desire to help others identify and develop their strengths. I enjoy listening to people’s experiences and share my skills and knowledge gained from working in high performance environments to help others. I incorporate my coaching and clinical experience to help people communicate confidently, connect with their sense of authenticity, believe in themselves and improve effectiveness.I am a qualified coach, Professional Standards Authority Registered clinician, member of the BACP and ICF. I have written for publications including Management Today, Daily Express, Daily Mirror and the BACP’s Therapy Today and Coaching Today Magazines. I enjoy writing enormously and always want to do more of it.I work with individuals, groups, businesses, institutions, charities providing Personal & Professional Development talks and Workshops. Anyone can benefit from learning more about themselves and others. We are social animals, so communicating effectively and building healthy relationships is vital not only to our health and wellbeing but our careers. I help people with tools and strategies for improving relationships and communication and also coach people in delivering presentations and public speaking, having done it for many years on the radio.I encourage creative expression and express my creativity through various outlets including writing, dramatic arts and voice work. I strongly encourage everyone in creative pursuits, it's a great outlet!
