Why I can help you....
My professional background covers several years working in the Civil Service before moving on to working within policing at Durham Constabulary. I worked there for over 20 years and was a member of the Senior Leadership Team for 18 years, undertaking the role of Strategy and Governance Manager.
Life hasn’t always been easy and straight forward for me, and I completely understand how phobias, anxiety and depression can have a debilitating effect as I have experienced all of these at certain points in my life.
I know that positive change is possible because several years ago, I discovered the power of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) when I had the opportunity to study for the NLP Diploma. I was not only amazed at the power and effectiveness of the techniques involved but I was also intrigued by the profound effect that this had on me personally and I decided that I would progress to gain the NLP Practitioner Certificate which I achieved in the summer of 2023.
Being a certified NLP Practitioner, alongside the coaching, leadership and management qualifications I have, gives me a wide range of skills and knowledge to help me deal with whatever life throws at me now. I call this my ‘positive resource toolbox’. I am much calmer, more focused and positive and my ‘inner drama queen’ has diminished somehow! More importantly my coaching skills have enabled me to help and support my family, friends and colleagues so that they can achieve positive change both professionally and personally.
Picture is of my happy place in my garden.
New Beginnings
My personal journey over the last few years led me to take the brave step in 2023 to leave the police service and set up my own business as a life and wellbeing coach. For me, this is about living my life aligned to my core values. Fairness, respect, helpfulness and kindness are values that I hold close to me and I gain a huge amount of satisfaction and sense of purpose by helping people to overcome whatever challenges they may be facing. If you are searching for a way to be calmer, more focused and happier please contact me, I'd love to chat with you to see how I can help.
