About me
I am a good listener. I have a calm manner and a generous heart.
I'm compassionate, enthusiastic and uplifting - a natural Coach, people tell me. ​​
​
For the past 35 years I've worked professionally with people dealing with challenging situations including disability, ill health, homelessness, addiction, poverty, unemployment, stress, anxiety and crisis of purpose.​
I have a track record of building strong partnerships and establishing highly effective teams within non -profit organisations.​
I have qualifications in Leadership and Management, Community and Youth Work, Psychosynthesis Leadership Coaching (Postgraduate level) and Surveying. My profile is on Linked In
​
I am an EMCC Accredited Coach at Practitioner Level. As a member of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council I adhere to its code of ethics and standards.​​ I have a current enhanced DBS check and professional indemnity insurance.​​​​
​
I volunteer with two co-operatives. I am a leader in The Woodcraft Folk, a youth empowerment movement. And I am Treasurer and on the Board of Community Assets for Society and Housing which supports the evolution of co-op housing. ​​
​
My daily personal development practices incorporate elements of Psychology, Christianity, Taoism and Buddhism.​ I cook, cycle, sing and meditate. I love to go walking and to sit around a campfire with friends.
I am a native Londoner and live in South East London with my partner and our grown-up son.​
