I am the co-founder and a director of Abrial, a company dedicated to strengthening the social contract between business, families, parents, teenagers, children and schools. In particular, we seek to improve the lives of working parents and their children through guidance, coaching and consultancy so that all can be their best selves and flourish. At the heart of our mission is to improve the wellbeing and productivity of parents in their workplace and to make their home lives happier. We recognise the impact that their children’s challenges at home and school can have upon parents’ working lives and deploy a range of highly effective coaching and advisory interventions to address these. We also understand the central importance of success at school to young people’s futures and work with families to ensure the best possible outcomes. After recognising the power of coaching to transform lives, I trained as a coach with Catalyst 14 and have a diploma from the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC). As a dedicated educationalist, I have an MA specialising in school cultures and developing positive learning environments I have worked as the headteacher of three London schools, one secondary and two all through (primary and secondary combined). Under my leadership, the first became one of the most improved schools in the country and the next two held Ofsted ‘outstanding’ status. I have also overseen the leadership of teaching and learning for a national educational charity.This expertise leaves me uniquely well placed to support parents and children in an expert way using coaching and my knowledge of how the school system works as well as my network of expert educational specialists.At Abrial we work across the following areas:-coaching and advising working parents to help them thrive in the workplace-helping working parents to support their children effectively and have better relationships at home-all aspects of coaching with young people, but focussing particularly on managing anxiety, working with neurodivergence, building self esteem and achieving the best possible results at school -coaching and training school staff to work effectively with families and to successfully manage their own professional wellbeingWe also blog, video, speak and present about parenting (particularly the experiences of working parents), teenagers and schools.
