General Coaching Experience and Background

I am a senior partner at Impact factory specializing in presentation and communication skills, leadership, networking and creativity. I began my working life as a graphic designer but have since enjoyed a wide and varied career as a self employed entrepreneur including owning and managing a small service and retail Hair and Beauty business.

I later spent 15 years working in the entertainment industry as a professional actor, composer and musician. I also enjoy a parallel career as a psychotherapist, performance coach and corporate trainer. I often draw on my experience and expertise hosting business and entertainment events and delivering keynote speeches and business seminars.

I hold qualifications in Psychoanalytic Psychology, (PsychDip and Cert)Neuro Linguistic Programming (Cert) and Hypnotherapy (DipHyp) and I am a member of British MENSA.

My Approach as an Executive Coach and Facilitator

I genuinely believe coaching, training and facilitation should be a pleasurable and uplifting process therefore I'm primarily interested in what a person already does well as a starting point for my work with them.

My goal is to help my executive coaching clients raise their self-awareness in order that they may recognise how, why, where and when they are most effective and successful. I think it is vital to recognise and acknowledge our unique qualities and then operate from a place of total authenticity rather then pretending to be someone or something we are not.

From this position we can become more self-aware rather than self-conscious and better able to both manage ourselves and the effect we have on others we deal with.

I prefer to take an informal, friendly approach to my coaching work, as I believe that good relationships are at the heart of many of the best successes we experience in life.
