I have a passionate interest in body-mind psychology and neuroscience: I believe the value of gaining insights and understanding of ourselves, serves us in our ability to develop healthy relationships and enhances our self-confidence & self-esteem.

I’m interested in current affairs and the friendly discussion & debate that might ensue with friends & colleagues. I’m a member of a book club – which disciplines me into diverse reading. I practise yoga, I enjoy playing and watching tennis, walking to reconnect with the natural world, film & theatre, cooking and good wine and the delightful challenge of bringing up my two children.

I have worked as an OD Consultant since 1988 - my area of expertise is in personal development. I work with individuals & teams in senior leadership roles and my clients are in the Finance, Transport, Health, Technology, Entertainment & Leisure and Beauty sectors. I am a member of the Diageo coaching faculty and a visiting tutor at Cranfield Business School: I currently spend about 60% of my time coaching and 40% presenting and facilitating leadership development programmes.

I have a Diploma in Business Performance Coaching and am a Master NLP Practitioner. I completed the Survey In Psychology, a 4 year study with Alexis Johnson PhD of Centre for Intentional Living NYC. I also took part in the Masterclass in Bioenergetics with Sandy Cotter at Cranfield University.
