My purpose in coaching is to support clients to be the conductor of their own orchestra, unleash potential, unlock perceived obstacles to achieve personal effectiveness, to navigate a path, to achieve their goals. Contracting with my clients is ethical and transparent. I have extensive experience of Psychodynamic perspective and Transactional Analysis and use this in my coaching practice. I have enhanced self-awareness and believe in the power of this approach and the subsequent transformation possible to support clients to achieve their goals, making the unconscious conscious.
I flex my approach and use many other models and approaches in coaching including diagnostics psychometrics tailored to my client’s needs.
I have had significant success in supporting leaders navigate unhelpful behaviours, complexity and develop strategies to overcome wicked issues, where there seems no single solution.
Additional influences include use of Systems theory and the unconscious at work.

Service Redesign and Lean Methodology
I have extensive experience in continuous improvement and have supported many projects to redesign services within NHS using lean methodology. I strongly believe in the importance of understanding and improving healthcare processes to achieve sustainable process improvements within the organisation, improving the quality of service for patients and staff.
My approach has incorporated engaging staff at all levels within the service to identify existing strengths, to improve service delivery and clinical performance with the development of strategies to monitor practices, evaluate outcomes, facilitate professional development and evidence-based practice. I believe a key underpinning factor to success is understanding the interlinking determinants of both service and clinical quality. In addition, a clear focus on services, systems, processes and people.
