I am an experienced Life Coach helping clients develop in personal areas of their life and their career. I have coached clients facing significant personal life decisions and also helped people develop their careers. I draw on qualifications and experience gained in Human Resources and Management. With some clients I use Personality Assessment techniques recognised by the British Psychological Society.

I believe coaching is a confidential supportive activity where the coach listens to what you want to achieve and builds on you strengths. This empowers you to find a direction make decisions and carry them through. You set goals with me about how you wish to move to where you want to be. I support you as you act to achieve these goals and support you through the difficulties that may occur. Because at all times you are in charge of the direction you take I use personality assessment and other coaching tools to help you see yourself clearly.
