Most of us go through life never really stopping to ask: Why do I think the way I do? Where do these negative thoughts come from that hold me back? We understand the importance of keeping our bodies fit, yet we so often neglect our minds.
​
As a Confidence Coach, I’m deeply passionate about helping you uncover what might be standing in your way - whether that’s old thought patterns, fear, or simply the weight of everyday life. Together, we’ll build self-awareness, unlock your inner voice, and create a toolkit of mental fitness strategies you can turn to when life gets bumpy.
​
As a Trainer, I focus on the Human Factor – how we think, communicate, connect, and cope in real-world situations. Whether it’s supporting someone through the psychological challenges the workplace brings or helping neurodiverse individuals feel understood and empowered, I design training that goes beyond theory. It’s grounded in empathy, self-awareness and what it really means to be human. Imagine a world where we truly understood each other – how different might our workplaces, homes and communities feel?
​
As a Wellbeing Strategist, I work with organisations to bridge the gap between employees and leadership. My 1:1 conversations give employees space to be heard – and provide businesses with real-time insight into how people are feeling, what’s holding them back, and how to build a stronger, more psychologically safe culture. It’s a practical approach with powerful results.
My Journey
With over 35 years’ experience in senior roles across the public, private and charity sectors, I bring a wealth of knowledge and heart to everything I do.
​
From designing British Airways’ first wellbeing programme for 14,000 crew members in the 1990's, to currently delivering Crew Resource Management training in high-risk environments in Dubai – I’ve always been drawn to understanding the human factor. What helps people thrive? How do we create environments where people feel valued, connected and supported?
Working in the national events industry taught me how to build psychologically safe, resilient productive teams - something I care deeply about. I believe workplaces should be safe, motivating spaces where people feel heard and empowered.
Paying forward
I’m proud to be an ABM Mentor through the government’s Help to Grow scheme, i also volunteer with two wonderful charities: MindSpace, where I support as a wellbeing strategist, and Yes Futures, a school-based programme helping young people grow in confidence, resilience and communication.

Why Redwood?
In our garden stand five beautiful Redwood trees, planted over a century ago by a local explorer. These majestic trees are symbols of wellness, wisdom, safety, longevity and communication - everything I hope to nurture in the people and teams I work with.
​
If you’re ready to explore what’s possible - for yourself, your team, or your business – It would be a privilege to work with you.
