Throughout my life people have sought me out as a sounding board for solving problems and I always enjoyed helping them. In 2011 I decided I wanted to make it my living, so I trained and qualified as a performance coach. In 2015 I left my organisation (where I coached on top of my day job) and ended a 13 year career as a public servant to pursue my dream of helping people and teams learn and develop. ​
I’ve been providing these services to private individuals and organisations ever since. I’ve also worked as a leadership and management trainer and facilitator, and I continue to work on employee engagement, business and culture change projects with my associate Silke Brittain.
​
In addition to having a Diploma in Coaching I have a Level 3 Certificate in Learning & Development from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) and am trained in neuro-linguistic programming. For more information on my professional credentials and career history please see my Linked In profile.

Outside of work I enjoy outdoor swimming, kayaking, walking, running, cycling, fishing and photography, and I'm a keen reader, cook, and gardener. I’ve a deep interest in wellbeing since it's helped me enormously in life.
Sleeping under the stars is a great way to put life in perspective (and I'll happily arrange it for you).
My Raison d’etre
Headspace Coaching is my mission to use all my abilities to help people achieve what they want and navigate the challenges of life. Offering people the opportunity to draw on all my knowledge and skills in the healthy environment of Penwithe and Falmouth has been my ambition since I returned to my home town in 2021, after 20 years living in Bristol.
The benefit of being in a natural, healthy, environment when you need to think or work on something important is increasingly supported by scientific research. While the coaching retreats are designed for professionals anybody can benefit from them, which is why I've tried to make them as affordable as possible, mindful of the times we are living in.
