I came to coaching after using coaching techniques with staff I managed when I worked for charities. After experiencing some great coaching, I decided I wanted a better work/life balance and I set up my own consultancy business (click here). I was then drawn to the principles of Co-Active Coaching, leading me to train with the Coaches Training Institute where I have gained CPCC accreditation. I'm also have the PCC credential from the International Coaches Federation (ICF).
Alongside co-active coaching tools, I use principles of polarity and wholeness coaching - go to Creating from Polarity to find out more. After training with the US based Wendy Palmer, I have qualified to be a certified Conscious Embodiment Instructor. I use Conscious Embodiment techniques in coaching to help clients build confidence, learn develop a sense of their centre and be able to approach their work/life with more power and precense. In addition to working with individual clients, I also provide leadership training to groups in organisations through Body Centred Leadership
Many people ask how I got the idea of coaching women around the decision to have children or not. Like many of my friends, a few years ago as I approached the age of 35, I found myself at the crossroads of a major dilemma - to have children or remain child-free? In the end, I decided to become a parent but I also realised that I could have had an equally satisfying child-free life if I hadn't had a child. This led me to coach women around the decision to have a child or not. This is one of my main niche areas that I specialise in as a coach and I have featured in a number of national publications including: The Times, the Observor Magazine, Scotland on Sunday and Glamour Magazine. I have also appeared on BBC Radio 4 'Women's Hour' and BBC Radio Scotland 'Ask Kaye'.
In addition to this niche area, I also coach people who hate their job but don't know what they want to do instead, solo entrapreneurs/small business owners (particularly in the East Dulwich neighbourhood) who want to take their business to the next level and high level leaders who want to be more powerful, authentic and confident.
I'm known for bringing my eccentric spirit into my coaching - using passion, humour and a sense of being anchored in service of my clients!!
If you are looking for a coach in London, I see face-to-face coaching clients in Central London (near Great Portland Street & Warren Street, in the London borough of Westminster) and in East Dulwich. I also have a large number of telephone clients based outside London and internationally - including the US (currently I have clients living in New York City, California and the midwest), Canada (Toronto, Vancover,Halifax) UAE (Dubai) and Europe (Brussels, Paris)
