My training hours are for half/full days. 

I provide leadership programmes based on the person-centred  and compassionate leadership.  This key focusses are on the need for Rogers six conditions and the four components of compassionate leadership.

The Leadership programmes are experiential and interactive, keeping PowerPoint presentation to a minimum.  The emphasis is on developing such skills as being an empathic, transparent, aware and respectful leaders.  Coaching is usually built in to the leadership programmes. There are testimonials for this work on my website.

Time is given in the first session to checking out what participants want and building the programme around them so that they can achieve what they desire and need whilst enjoying themselves at the same time!

I have been a practising and qualified supervisor for 22 years. I  currently have availability for supervision for therapists, therapists who coach and/or supervise and trainers for 60 to 90 minutes.  I work face to face in Sheffield and in London (Coal Drops Yard) indoors or outdoors.  My outdoor practice in Sheffield is in the countryside.  My practice hours are Tuesday to Thursday during daytime hours.  I usually have off school holidays and a month off in the summer. I travel abroad during the summer for up to three months and work on zoom during this time.  

 All my work is underpinned by the Person Centred philosophy of empathy, regard and transparency to provide an accepting environment.  I am also influenced by other approaches, for example: gestalt, neuroscience, Irvin Yalom, Ester Perel, Maya Angelou, John Haule and Brene Brown. 

I provide individual and group supervision to for example, therapists, coaches, supervisors, charity and NHS staff.

Experienced in a wide range of therapy, executive coaching, leadership, facilitation and team development interventions, I have studied at Masters Level and continue with my own personal and professional development.  

I am a published author and until recently was on the BACP Coaching executive where I chaired the Supervision SIG.  I have now taken up a new position at the Association of Coaching in facilitating a co-supervision space for supervisors.  

My company is registered with NHS Leadership Academy and I have designed and delivered a number of leadership programmes. 

I am a qualified nurse, Social worker, psychotherapist, supervisor and executive coach (accredited by the NHS) and have worked as a leader in the NHS.

As well as in leadership, my heart and experience is in practice and I having worked with people who have experienced trauma from their developmental years and /or have been injured (eg brain and birth injuries) and am therefore familiar with the disruption these experiences can cause for clients. 

My first 60/90 minutes session includes a free initial 30 minute to allow for a chemistry check.  In this session I will contract with you and provide a space for you to discuss what your needs and wants are in supervision.
