Hello. Welcome to my website and Positive Minds Alliance. My work is dedicated to helping people grow and thrive, and I enjoy using scientifically researched techniques to make a meaningful difference in their lives. In coaching sessions, I assist clients in discovering their unique strengths, building self- awareness, and developing the resilience to face challenges directly. I also like to keep sessions fresh and engaging by incorporating creative approaches, such as connecting with nature or trying out hands- on exercises, to make the experience enjoyable and impactful.
Combining psychology, coaching expertise, leadership training, and a strong passion and flair for helping clients recognise their strengths and take transformative steps is what makes my work so fulfilling.
Some of the formal credentials (feel free to ask me more if you' re interested):
I am a Chartered Coaching Psychologist with the British Psychological Society (BPS). https://portal. bps. org. uk/psychologist- Search/register- of- Coaching- Psychologists. I am also a Senior Coach Practitioner with the European Mentoring and Coaching Council and a Fellow of the International Society for Coaching Psychology.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with some incredible individuals and organisations. I draw on my expertise in Psychology (including Coaching, Positive, Developmental, Educational, Occupational, Clinical, Social, and Personality Psychology) to support and challenge coaching clients from diverse backgrounds.
As a university professor, I developed the first UK university course in positive psychology coaching, co- led a university master' s degree in applied positive psychology, and continue to run bespoke courses for universities, government agencies, and various businesses, from small start- ups to large multinationals.
Since completing my psychology doctorate 35 years ago, I have authored several research papers. I am frequently invited to present at conferences on topics related to coaching, such as outdoor and nature coaching, active listening, overcoming procrastination, managing difficult emotions, developing self- compassion, and strengths coaching.
One of my clients' favourite coaching methods is the 'Walk and Coach' technique. Walking while connecting with the natural environment boosts creativity and enhances wellbeing, which can lead to transformative coaching experiences and outcomes.
