Coaching 

Nearly 20 years ago, I trained with Barefoot Coaching to become a Professional Personal and Business Coach. With a postgraduate diploma in Person Centred Counselling, I combine these skills to pursue my passion for helping others unlock their potential, overcome obstacles, and achieve their personal and professional goals. 
Coaching is at my core and in early 2024, I decided to update and refresh my skills with an ICF-accredited Postgraduate Certificate in Business & Personal Coaching, choosing Barefoot Coaching again for its gold-standard recognition. 
I hold a Diploma in Wellbeing Coaching and I am an ICF accredited Cognitive Behaviour Coach and worked as a Health Coach for the NHS’s ‘Healthier You’ – Diabetes Prevention Programme. 
I've coached senior leaders, directors, managers, and team leaders across various corporate sectors, including financial services, health insurance, media, county councils, motor manufacturers, and legal firms. Notably, I held preferred supplier status for coaching within British Telecom for several years.
