My Credentials

What are my qualifications?

I am a passionate believer in each person’s ability to change and to find solutions to the difficulties and barriers in their life. I have previously worked successfully in a number of fields and have had a number of careers including:

• Teacher (13-19 year olds)

• Further Education lecturer (adults)

• Research scientist (Immunology)

• Senior Manager (Public sector policy)

I am a fully qualified and practising hypnotherapist and combine the skills from this, life coaching and NLP to provide a tailored and unique experience for my clients.

Studying leadership and management and working as a middle and senior manager in a large organisation has taught me the importance of stress management in the workplace.
