My Journey…

From a young age, I knew I wanted to help others. Initially I trained as a nursery nurse and then qualified as a teacher in 2006. I loved teaching and helping the children learn and working within a team.  I moved into school leadership and gained a national professional qualification as headteacher. I had many years in school leadership and always used coaching as a key school improvement strategy. I trained as a coach 10 years ago and used coaching in my schools and to coach colleagues in other schools. I was a coach for the Department for Education ’women into leadership’ program, I was passionate about this and enjoyed supporting women across the country develop in their career. I was asked to do several key note speeches and training to headteachers across the county in using coaching as a school improvement strategy. 
 

Fast forward to now, although I loved my career, I knew that I wanted more freedom and wanted to pursue a career in coaching. I retrained and updated my knowledge with a level 7 advanced diploma in coaching. I also completed a course in NLP and EFT tapping, which I have found really supports my coaching. I work 2 days a week as a school improvement advisor which uses a lot of coaching and then the rest of the week I focus on my coaching business and clients. I am so passionate about self development and coaching because, just like my reasons for going into teaching, it helps and supports others to learn new things and develop self belief & confidence to live an all out life. Through my coaching I help others to know WHO they are, what their  VALUES  are, WHERE they are going and HOW to get there. It is AMAZING! 

Alongside coaching sessions I will set activities for between sessions to maximise the process. I will utilise habits, tapping and journaling where appropriate. If you feel this could be for you, please do make contact and prioritise YOU, INVEST IN YOURSELF, it really is a TRANSFORMATIONAL journey.
