About

Why has an accountant created a coaching & mentoring business?  Well, the answer is reassuringly logical and evidence based - because it works. Both my own experience and an increasing number of research based studies testify to the same conclusion.

When I was first introduced to executive coaching I immediately noticed it prompted me to think differently. We all have our preferred and default ways of working to create solutions and these undoubtedly serve us well most of the time. However, sometimes our thinking patterns aren't sufficient to unlock a situation or see alternative outcomes.  Having additional tools in our repertoire and, more significantly, recognising when our thinking is limited, has multiple benefits from boosting productivity, increasing wellness, saving significant time & effort, all of which ultimately increases self-awareness and confidence.

Just a few sessions are often enough to ignite change but progressing further can result in significant positive shifts and insights.     

I am dedicated to supporting individuals to thrive, professionally and personally.

My finance background includes an ACA qualification and covers senior finance roles in industry, both on a full-time and consultancy basis, acquired throughout a range of sectors and company structures.

I have over ten year's experience in coaching & mentoring, including a Certificate in Business and Executive Coaching, plus a Coaching Psychology Diploma, both obtained from Leeds Beckett University. The former course is accredited by the European Mentoring & Coaching Council. In addition, a Certificate in Team Coaching from Team Coaching Studio.

As an active Association for Coaching member, I co-organise and facilitate a regional co-coaching group to promote and develop coaching skills.  I am also accredited to deliver products,  on developing a Growth Mindset from the Mindset Practice and also to facilitate the use of PROPHET, an Individual & Team Profiling tool  (Predictive Role Profiling for High Performing Teams), which focuses on personal motivations and decision-making styles.
