My background
My first career was in the performing arts. This both drew on my natural ability to put myself 'in others' shoes' and honed my skill in working creatively. Even then I was drawn to using my creativity to enable others and developed social skills groups for teenagers with Asperger's Syndrome and other social communication difficulties. Working with people with autism so they can flourish in the world is still a key aspect of my life and practice.
From 2003 I began working as a coach and personal development facilitator in organisations. I have supported individuals and designed and facilitated development programmes exploring emotional intelligence, presence, leadership and influencing. Helping people develop their personal presence through working with mindset, emotional engagement, story telling and embodiment has been a particular passion of mine.
My experience of psychotherapy, counselling and organisational work leads to cross-fertilisations which can be really useful for my clients.
