Services

Personalised Support

I understand that every person is unique, with their own set of challenges, concerns and expectations. That’s why I offer a range of services, each tailored to meet the specific needs of you, the individual.

Counselling

Counselling is a journey that involves deep self-reflection, acceptance, and the development of healthy coping mechanisms. Through counselling, I offer a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their emotions and work through the obstacles that may be preventing them from living life wholeheartedly. This involves in-depth self-examination, which can be challenging, but is a necessary step towards healing and growth.

Coaching

Coaching is a goal-oriented approach that focuses on developing specific skills and achieving specific outcomes. I work with individuals to identify their strengths and talents, and then help them expand their personal skills to achieve their goals. The aim of coaching is to build self-esteem and confidence, and to provide individuals with the tools and practices they need to achieve their personal and professional goals.

Consulting

Consulting offers counsel, practical advice and perspective, helping individuals overcome insecurity, to solve problems and progress forward in their careers. Drawing upon substantial HR, careers, and people leadership experience, I act as a sounding board when there is struggle or challenge. This could relate to performance, manager, team or with professional development. I provide a support system and credible source of expertise for all aspects of job search, application and assessment. Consulting sessions can  include coaching practices to optimise development.

A 30 minute ‘drop in’ appointment can be scheduled any time on an adhoc basis.

Providing professional education on a broad range of subjects in a variety of different ways. Specialist topics include all things Diversity and Inclusion and Careers. I have experience in developing and facilitating workshops and I am a competent public speaker. The aim and intention is to help people develop, grow and gather new understanding and perspectives. This is especially important and meaningful when it comes to important issues impacting equality in society today. Having worked in Human Resources extensively, and as a former Actor, I am able to engage an audience with impact and meaning.

Most employers hold a budget for your personal development and will cover the costs for coaching. Please speak with your employer about this and let me know from the outset.

What is VAT and how do I pay it?
