About Me
I have a deep passion for and lifelong experience of helping people to get back on track; get back in the game so to speak – to focus on and make progress towards their personal goals and desires. Throughout my working life, I have supported individuals, families and groups to navigate and overcome difficult life stressors. I offer evidence-based techniques, information and strategies for all aspects of growth and change, to include reversing unhelpful habits and behaviours; overcoming anxiety, fear and worry; increasing motivation and focus; and building resilience for lasting change.

Trainer, Consultant & Coach
For over twenty five years I worked in a variety of support settings, new parent and infant relationships, positive parenting programmes, setting up and training professionals and local volunteers in community parenting initiatives, young offenders institutes and prisons, direct support with parents of children charged with anti-social behaviour – and many other settings.
I developed and extended my expertise by training other professionals; over a thousand statutory and voluntary sector support workers, to bring about positive, life-enhancing outcomes while working with some of the most disadvantaged individuals and families across the UK.

How I can help you
My vision is that all individuals have the knowledge, personal insight, awareness and confidence to live their best life. To take personal agency for their own wellbeing and their potential for growth, meaning and purpose. To be as resilient as possible – that means being able to learn from coping and handling life stressors – the ‘strain and pain’ that life inevitably throws out – often at the most inopportune moments.
What I don’t do is make false promises, or succumb to media ‘hype’ that what I do is ‘revolutionary’ or ‘ground-breaking.’ It is not. But all of my training to date has been of the highest standard, and importantly – always grounded in evidence and scientific approaches.

I love working with people. Building trusting relationships, and, together, agreeing and developing the goals, the treatment plan and actions. How we work with mutual trust, respect and integrity is the largest single indicator of success – and therefore an important aspect of our work together. Interested in working with me? If so, I’d love to meet you!
