Who am I?
I have always had a vocation for working with children and young people, working as a teacher, sport coach and outdoor pursuits instructor in my early career and specialising in teens and young people since qualifying as a coach and mentor.
​
I have a natural way of connecting and building trust with young people, using humour, empathy and an honest and open communication style. I work in partnership with each young person I coach, talking with them on their level.
​
I love making a positive difference in people’s lives.
As well as working with young people, I have worked in hospitality and business, both in the UK and internationally. It was through a challenging time in my own life that I found coaching. It had such a positive impact on me that I decided to retrain as a coach so I could help others get the most out of their lives too. This means I bring real life experience and understanding to my work, enabling the young people I work with to develop a positive, can-do mindset and become happy and confident in who they are.
​
I am always available for a free chat about how I can help your child – find a time slot that suits you.
Award winning
I spent five years volunteering as a Student Mentor with Career Ready, a national social mobility charity. I was recognised for my work in 2020, winning the Mentor of the Year Award, after being nominated by my student and selected by the panel of judges.
​
I was also awarded the Corporate Social Enterprise Award in the Cirencester Business Awards in 2020 for my pro-bono work in the early stages of the pandemic, supporting those struggling with lockdown.
