About me
When people ask what I do, my answer is 'it depends on the day' I have learnt many skills and gained qualifications over my working life so far and I subscribe to the idea that we are what we do not what our job title says we are. So, with that in mind, I deliver a range of workshops and programmes, facilitate groups and discussions as a coach, help organisations think about implementing well being and mental fitness into their organisations and companies as a consultant, help with conflict and difficulty through mediation and utilise thirty five years experience in business, education, the arts to develop human potential and growth. My expertise is in Personal and Business Development. I believe that we learn by doing and that fundamentally ‘You have everything you need” to succeed. I use my expertise in helping people to become effective communicators and leaders. I have an extensive range of skills and experience. I offer practical tools and techniques to overcome blocks that can ‘dis-able’ us in our professional and personal lives. I use what works for you.
My professional life started in the Theatre as a Stage Manager. I attended drama school training as an actress in London. I began directing and teaching as well as setting up my own theatre company. I was a Senior Lecturer and Course Director for 25 years at Rose Bruford College a University Sector Drama School, gaining invaluable experience in HE. My growing passions and interests are; working with and developing the potential in people. I went back to University to study psychology, counselling and social sciences. Later I trained as a Coach, NLP Practitioner, Mediator and Mental Health Advocate. Transferring into the business and educational arena seemed a perfect fit for me.
Always keen to continue with my CPD and learning, I have an MSc In Social Sciences, a PGCE in Higher Education, PG Dip Integrative Counselling as well as being an NLP Practitioner, an Acting, Speech and Dialogue Tutor, a Personal and Business Coach (ICF member) and a qualified Civil Mediator. I am a Certified Serious Play Facilitator and have the experience of running a company and have worked as a freelancer and as an employee. As a trained counsellor I have extensive experience working with individuals and with groups. I become a Certified PPA (Personal Profile Analysis- DISC) Practitioner with Thomas International, and I have been working as a Mental Health First Aider helping colleges and organisations deliver workshops in mental health awareness, managing stress and anxiety and building resilience and mental fitness to sustain careers in the arts.
My unique selling point is, I create supportive, trusting relationships with my clients which allows me to challenge them to fulfil their potential.
Alongside my training, mediation and coaching work, I work as a freelance theatre director and acting tutor.
