I offer a certified professional coaching service for people who wish to critically assess and then make supported changes to their habits, routines as well as any issues relating to the self, relationships, food and work. I’m also studying Gerontology, the study of ageing, in a PG certificate programme and am well placed to support anyone approaching retirement or later life.

This is a professional service based on training from the internationally renowned company, Coach Training World. I’m currently working towards an International Coaching Federation certification.

I support you in assessing your needs and making change happen. I provide a safe, judgement free space for discussing the full range of personal concerns. My support with regards relationships can be useful whether you are solo or partnered, monogamous or non. I’m Gender, Sex and Relationship Diversity (GSRD) trained and affirming.

As a published writer, I can support people who are working on or looking at starting all forms of creative projects.

Coaching is, for me, about making meaningful enquiry into one’s values and ways of living and about getting space and support as you negotiate change, whether it’s coming from within or without the self. It’s very different to therapy and can work alongside or separate from that.

Coaching is about looking at what’s front of mind for you right now, about helping you to see your own story and world clearly and to support you in making any changes that are right for you.

An hour of my time for all of these services is:

£15 per hour if you earn up to £20,000

£30 per hour if you earn up to £30,000

£45 if you earn up to £40,000

£60 per hour if you earn £40,000+

Fees currently capped at £60 per hour. Hours can be bought in bundles. A set of 10 hours, to be used flexibly within 6 months, benefits from a 10% discount. A contract will be sent upon agreement.
