Coaching Approach

I am an accredited, full-time, transformational coach with over a decade of coaching experience alongside a lifetime NHS career.  At heart a change maker, coaching helped me evolve, overcome complexity and help others:

• In my leadership and career - as former GP, Public Health, Medical and Organisational Development Director, and Kings Fund, NHS Leadership Academy and FMLM Associate.
• Across multiple sectors - seminal work that led to the Five Year Forward View and leading culture change, health and wellbeing across three merging hospitals in the COVID pandemic.   
• Scaling ideas - pioneering women 50:50 on NHS Trust Boards with UN Women and health coaching to national level as NHS Innovation Accelerator Fellow.

My aim now is to enable other professionals replenish, grow and lead for social good. I bring to the coaching;

• Practical experience as doctor, leader and entrepreneur
• A deep grasp of change - human, organisational and system
• Substantial coaching capability in numerous roles - coach, trainer, commissioner, health coaching
• Compassion from lifelong adaption around family, work and career
• Authentic belief in potential, recovery and metamorphosis
• Unique insight from a rich, multi-dimensional career

Coaching process

Anything that’s happening in your life that needs attention is suitable for coaching - you may want to lead change, develop your team, improve relationships, grow ideas, overcome setbacks, feel more confident, adapt to a restructure or prepare for your next move.

I offer a safe, nurturing yet challenging space to enable professionals to replenish, grow and make changes in the following areas:

-          Leadership and innovation

-          Careers and transition

-          Resilience and healing

My sessions are varied, interesting, holistic and based on a blend of thought provoking questions, powerful insight and creative tools, such as neuroscience, transactional analysis, emotional intelligence, mindfulness and systemic mapping.

Tailored to your needs, the ability to go deeper in a strong, authentic coaching relationship, helps catalyse personal growth and development (performance and goal setting), skills development (e.g.  presentation skills, networking, influencing), and change in beliefs (transformation) e.g. imposter syndrome and stepping out from “surviving” to thriving.

What are your three unique selling points that separates you from other coaches?

1. Plurality of real life experience as Medical (MD), Public Health, Organisational Development (OD) Director and entrepreneur, that aids problem solving

2. High quality accredited coaching and over a decade of practice to Masters and EMCC Senior Practitioner level (Distinction) level with no conflicts of interest

3. Creative, encouraging and stretching approach, tailored to needs, to achieve good outcomes and lasting change
