ABOUT ME
‘A true professional. If you spend 30 minutes with her, you will see what I mean. Her infectious energy, drive, and enthusiasm to support others is palpable.’
Oscar Myint, Psychotherapist, BSc Hons MBACP
An experienced and trusted mental health trainer, coach and consultant.
Founder of Strengths-Focussed Coaching and the Change Your Mind Programme.
I’m an empathetic and intuitive trainer, coach, consultant and course designer. I have a passion for facilitating 'light bulb' learning! I have over 30 years of experience, the last 15 of those specialising in mental health and positive mindset.
I’ve designed and delivered workplace wellbeing courses and workshops for Mind, delivered to thousands of participants across the globe and remain a trusted associate.
What drives me?
Change and mental ill health can happen to anyone. It happened to me.
If we can increase confidence in supporting ourselves and others, then we can make a difference.
The common denominator in my work, across every sector, is a passion for proactively supporting mental fitness.
Education, compassion, and understanding are where it starts. Read my testimonials to get a sense of the difference I have made.
Mental health training for businesses
In 2019 I established the Workplace Wellbeing service at Oxfordshire Mind.
Whilst there, I designed and delivered engaging mental health training to thousands of employees, along with hundreds of managers and leads. I’m experienced in both virtual and in-person mental health training.
I enjoy collaborating with business leaders. I love to innovate my way out of a problem or challenge. As a guest speaker, I’m not afraid to speak my mind and challenge the status quo.
Schools, colleges, and social care
Early in my career, I honed my skills working in education as a teacher and trainer. Through this work, I designed and implemented strengths-focussed coaching and developed the successful Change Your Mind Programme - for all ages.
I also coached care leavers, helping them to increase their independence and confidence in understanding and nurturing their mental health. And as these vulnerable young adults turned their lives around, I learnt from them.
My best teachers have been those that I’ve coached. Through my work I’ve learnt so much about how to engage individuals and groups.
Focussed and effective training programmes
I bring a superior breadth of expertise to every commission. And I seek feedback for everything I do.
From such feedback I have learned that I design 'brilliant', 'effective', and ‘life-changing’ courses. I also have an extensive ability to make people feel at ease whilst facilitating sessions that enable people to learn and build confidence. Read what some of them have said in my testimonials.
The word 'dynamic' has cropped up many times – it encompasses my style, my curiosity, my skilled listening ability, and my drive.
Let's transform lives together
I passionately believe that learning should be fun, transformative, and make a profound difference to individuals and, ultimately, to society.
