Where are you based? I am based in a lovely village called Chiddingfold, in South West Surrey. I am available to see clients face to face, or via Zoom, so we can connect wherever you are based.

What do you love about The Thrive Programme? I love the fact that it transforms lives and teaches people how to take control of their mental health, not just in a way that manages things so you can get by, but it shows you how to stay in control of your mental health for good. It really does enable you to relax and enjoy your life, feel powerful and cope with anything life throws at you. I also love the fact that it is so accessible to everyone, including children and people who have been struggling for years.

What did you do before you became a Coach? I started my working life in Sports Development, which was great, helping people discover the joy of sport and exercise. Then after starting a family I trained as a teacher, and loved working with the children, but having witnessed the transformational power of The Thrive Programme, I knew I wanted to use my skills as a teacher and really make a difference helping people become the best person that they can be.

What do you do when you're not working? Sport has always been a big passion of mine; I play and coach cricket, I cycle and run to keep fit and generally anything active. I also love gardening, creating a beautiful place to enjoy with family and friends.

An interesting fact? I once got offered the chance to be a ‘wing walker’ in an air show. I didn’t immediately grab the opportunity and as a result missed out. It’s always been a slight regret for me, but thankfully The Thrive Programme teaches you to seize opportunities and challenge yourself (not always that extreme) – no more regrets!

What time zone are you in? I am based in the UK which is GMT (BST in the summertime).

What are your working hours? My times are flexible to suit the client’s needs, although my main hours are between 8.30 am and 7 pm Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
