I'm a trained Life Coach and Performance Coach specialising in Personal and Professional Life Coaching. I live in Ham, in South West London. I usually coach my clients on the phone but a small number prefer face-to-face coaching and that can be arranged in the London area and, occasionally, in Edinburgh.

I can also coach groups where all share a common interest, for instance in meeting the challenges of parenting or returning to work.

Before training as a coach, I worked in education and training, gaining many years' experience in counselling and mentoring students and colleagues. I am still involved in training and in delivering workshops on effective learning.

I write about issues related to work life balance and workplace cultures. Having lectured in Early Childhood Education, and having trained in performance coaching in education, I also write, and speak, on parenting and childcare issues. I have an e-mail newsletter for which you can sign up.

I'm happy to speak to groups about life coaching as well as about any of the 'niches' in which I specialise. I also run a 'Life Plan' Group for people who prefer to develop their life plans within a small group.

I was astonished to discover, when I took the VIA Signature Strengths Survey, that I am more enthusiastic than 100% of all Web Site users, 100% of all female respondents and 100% of those living outside the US.

If you want to be infected with enthusiasm, then come to me. I'm a carrier!
