About Me

I am originally from Leicester in England and for many years I worked as a teacher until I decided on a career change. Initially I was a French and German teacher but then I retrained to become a Special Needs teacher. I lived in Australia for 12 years and while there I studied for my Master’s degree in Special Education. 

Having suffered myself from confidence issues and low self-esteem for many years I had always been interested in psychotherapy. I left teaching in 2015 and worked for three  years for an organisation in Belfast that provides help and support for adults with severe and enduring mental health issues. It was there that I was trained in counselling skills and had hundreds of hours of supervision.

My coaching draws from:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy & Coaching (CBT/C)
• Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
• Psychodynamics
• Gestalt Therapy
• Guided Imagery and Visualisation Techniques

Through studying for many years I was able to heal myself of my low self-esteem and confidence issues, so I know that the techniques that I use work.

Trust me when I say there is only one direction: STRAIGHT AHEAD.
