My life-long interest in human psychology began with my own journey. I wanted to understand my choices and experiences and learn how to live with meaning, fun and energy. I wanted to share what I discovered and be a catalyst for others seeking positive change and self-acceptance.

In 2016 I discovered how we can intentionally work with, and change, the unconscious parts of our mind that drive feelings, thoughts and behaviours…

Coaching with Hypnotherapy:

I am a registered hypnotherapist and integrative, person-centred psychotherapeutic counsellor. I am a certified life coach and mBit coach – approaches that enable others to achieve want they most want from their life, work and business. I am a master practitioner and certified trainer in NLP (neuro linguistic programming) which combines theories and techniques from a range of scientific and therapeutic fields to create accessible and understandable tools that can be applied by individuals, teams and organisations to improve outcomes, support well-being and create change. I hold three degrees, including a BSc in Psychology and a Masters in Social Work. I have post-Masters qualifications as a Practice Educator & Reflective Supervisor for trainee and newly qualified social workers.

I currently have a special interest in working with women maturing through, and after, their menopause. My practice is strongly aligned with the health & well-being movement, Radical, Conscious, Ageing.

I have worked in many different professional roles and environments across my life. 

For 20 years I worked with young people and their families who were living with challenging, socio-economic, urban environments and were engaged in risky behaviours or excluded from mainstream education and opportunities.  I coached these children and teens to feel empowered, develop their agency, find their voice and make more positive life choices for themselves. My practice integrates techniques from Carl Rogers (person-centred modality), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Brief Solution-focused Therapy.

Whilst raising two children as a single parent, I created a charitable, community Media organisation – ‘Power Play’ – in Tottenham, North London. This not-for-profit empowered socially marginalised groups, to construct and share their own stories and views, through making their own, award-winning films. 

In 2016 I completed my NLP Practitioner training with Steve Payne at A.C.T. (formerly NLP Dynamics) in London/Spain. I became very interested in how to work intentionally with the unconscious mind.

I am now a Master NLP Practitioner and NLP trainer, an accredited Life Coach (including mBit coaching & Positive Intelligence coaching) with post-masters Diploma in Eriksonian Hypno-Psychotherapeutic Counselling (DHPC). 

My trauma-informed practice to help clients develop their effective management of stress and anxiety, now includes Positive Intelligence coaching in mental fitness. I completed this mental fitness program myself  and directly experienced the joy of going beyond insight to rewiring my neurology for a whole new experience of life.

I love working with people who want to understand themselves better, want to grow and live the best life that they can. ‘No-one is broken. You have all the internal resources you need.’ I can help you to connect with them.

I regularly run workshops on topics such as: Managing Anxiety; Reducing Stress; Dealing with Menopause; Positive Thinking; Growing Resilience; Empowerment; Effective Goal Setting; and Advanced Communication skills for professionals in the social care sector and beyond.

I have always been an active trade unionist, a feminist and a socialist supporting campaigns and movements for progressive social justice, as I strongly believe in the value of community and in everyone’s right to access opportunities to live a great life and to contribute to the well-being of others.

Coaching offers an empowering, strengths-based approach that can enable others to transform themselves, grow positively and live with joy and purpose. I love enabling people to get in touch with their own intuitive wisdom, sharing the knowledge I’ve learned along the way and witnessing them expand and flourish to live their most vibrant life now.
