I'm a Chartered Research Psychologist and an Executive and Leadership coach in training with Tavistock Consulting.
In both roles I work collaboratively to further develop understanding of 'below the surface' patterns of relating for children services and leaders working in today's complex environments.
Today, the workplace environment is often fast-paced and pressurised with a lot of constant change to deal with and to help this I offer developmental coaching for individual executives and managers with a particular focus on working with organisational contexts and psychological dynamics. Coaching conversations with me provide leaders with much needed time and space to pause, process and allow fresh solutions to emerge. My current coaching clients include individuals in architecture, public health, charities, local authorities, higher education, and corporate settings. As a coach I work authentically and sensitively to create safe learning environments for my clients. We will work reflectively and collaboratively allowing you to develop and grow to meet your potential. I am currently working towards Senior Practitioner status with the European Mentoring Coaching Council, as part of Tavistock Consulting’s renowned Executive Coaching Programme.Typical coaching contracts are for six sessions, usually at monthly intervals, giving us time to explore your leadership identity and goals in depth.
For over thirty years, I’ve brought consultancy, training, and knowledge exchange in my applied psychology career from academia to a range of social care organisations including local authorities and children's charities.. I specialise in the use of evidence-based interview assessments, which help identify people's strengths and vulnerability factors within wider family and care systems. My team’s research is widely published in peer-reviewed and practice journals. You can find some of this research findings here. I also undertake service evaluations for charities and local authorities.
