Whilst we all often have a tendency to resist and avoid change I consciously encouraged it in my life as I increasingly came to realise that my long standing career in banking was not supporting my growing need to live my life in closer harmony with my values. I realised that the banking environment that I had entered, as a teenager, had not evolved healthily over time and so I sought a way that I could engage with people that might make a truely positive difference to their lifes and, in the process, affirm mine as being more meaningful.

Through my skills and qualities as both a counsellor and coach, along with my banking background and other ongoing business interests, many clients find that I have the ability to connect with them in a way that bridges the often wide divide between the world of commercial reality and the needs of the individual for meaning, understanding and support.

My approach aims to enable clients to achieve a more balanced perspective on their lives and priorities and they often find that issues that have previously held them back, sometimes for many years, become minor matters as they realise what is most important to their future.

I have had a lifetime’s meaningful relationship with the great outdoors and wild places and this deep connection with nature is interwoven with my approach to life and client work.
