Who I am professionally

​

I’m a Trauma-Informed Coach specialising in supporting neurodivergent and highly sensitive women to navigate the complexities of relationships.

​​​

I bring together professional expertise, lived experience, and deep compassion to create spaces where women feel seen, supported, and empowered to make sense of their experiences in relationships and thrive.

​

My professional training includes:

  • Coaching Training with the Co-Active Training Institute

  • Trauma Training with Lou Lebentz at The Voyage Academy

  • Support Circles Facilitation with Sally Golightly

​In 2023, I published my first book, It’s Not Just You: Making Sense of Life and Thriving After Growing Up in an Emotionally Dysfunctional Family.

 

Before training as a coach, I spent 25 years working in education across mainstream and charity sectors, as a teacher and dyslexia and literacy specialist.

Throughout my career, I’ve been dedicated to teaching, supporting and coaching people of all ages, with a strong focus on advocating for and championing neurodivergent children and adults.

This deep, long-standing commitment to inclusion, understanding, and individualised support naturally evolved into my current work as a trauma-informed coach where I continue to hold space for people to be seen, heard, and supported in ways that honour who they truly are.


I am neurodivergent (Audhd) and I work from a neurodivergent-affirming and inclusive perspective.

I am proud to be a member of the Association for Coaching and I adhere to its quality and standards.

Who I am beyond my work

 

I’m a warm, compassionate, open-hearted, and chatty person.

I’m also a deep thinker and deeply sensitive; someone who feels things fully and notices the small details.

​

I love meaningful time with the wonderful people in my life as much as I treasure solitude and time to myself.

​

My passions include spending time in the nature with my dog, listening to music and podcasts, going to the theatre, concerts, and the cinema, and the vibrancy and anonymity of big cities.

​​

​I’m a lover of words and creativity. Books, audio books, writing, journalling and stationery bring me real joy.
 

To soothe my nervous system, I turn to walking, Qigong, Yoga Nidra, and singing in a choir; practices that ground me and bring me back to myself.​

My neurodivergence​

​

At the age of 51 I discovered that I am autistic and have ADHD (AuDHD).

​

Embracing my neurodivergence has been a powerful part of my healing. Although it initially threw my world up in the air it has also lead to deep self-acceptance, enhanced self-worth, deep connection with like-minded women and clarity about what I want and need in connection and relationship with others.
