I have often worked with suicide. Men and women who have found life intolerable. They have come from a wide demographic, triggered to contemplate ending their lives by varied sets of circumstances. Now my main focus is on coaching within organisations. Individuals who can afford to pay for coaching.. A percentage of my work is still pro bono supporting charitable organisations. Poverty (a main trigger) may not be something my current client’s experience. They do however experience fear of redundancy…

When overwhelm beckons what do you do? Overwhelm is the state that occurs when we live out of balance. It is what happens when work requires solutions that appear beyond your control. We seem to pride ourselves on saying we are busy these days. Like it gives us status, worth even. Are we mistaken? Not wise but foolish?

I am totally loving it and find myself suddenly the expert as my voice rings out. ‘What was that?’ ‘Nooo!’ ‘Come on England you can do it!’ My passion for this is something that only appears during the world cup. But what about those who faithfully watch it every week, who are the true experts and may have spent savings or…

I am an executive coach working with leaders and influencers and I am called as a woman to challenge the status quo, it’s in my blood, I have always done it. Since I was a little girl, I wanted to rescue those in need of help, choosing the mouse without a tail as my pet in case no one wanted it. Stepping…

I am a coach and counsellor, working for many years with clients both male and female. However, it is the plight of women who have suffered violence in many forms that is my focus today. My 19 years counselling, spent face to face with 1000’s of people, have resulted in me forming some opinions based on this experience. This is my empirical view not the result of a trial or theory. However, I have to say that surely theories spring…
