Where are you based? I’m based in Knutsford, Cheshire and work from an annexed office at my home. I cover all of Cheshire and Greater Manchester but doing sessions on Zoom/Skype is so effective that I see people from much further afield as well.

What do you love about The Thrive Programme? There is nothing else like it. It is so empowering and anyone can change their life with a little bit of effort – I can say this from personal experience! It is truly amazing to see the transformation in people, even after just a couple of sessions.

The Thrive Programme not only teaches you skills that will improve your mental wellbeing, it goes beyond treating symptoms and has a positive impact on all parts of your life. You can go from battling symptoms and just 'existing' to loving your life and 'thriving' in a matter of weeks. And we can prove it!

What did you do before you became a Coach? I’ve worked in the wine trade for 15 years, as a wine buyer and selling wine. Some people’s dream job I know!

After doing The Thrive Programme myself, I knew I wanted to help others improve their life in the same way. One of the main draws was being able to help children and young people learn these skills so they’re able to deal with the ever-increasing challenges they face, with confidence and ease.

What do you do when you're not working? Along with a passion for wine comes a love of food! I enjoy exercising (mainly to balance the former) – all sorts of things from spin classes to hot yoga.

A good walk followed by a roast dinner is my perfect Sunday. I love skiing when I get the chance, despite having an ACL reconstruction (and going on to sever the second one too).

A lesser known fact is that I did grade 8 piano many moons ago and enjoy playing when I can. Mostly, you’ll find me at home with my family, entertaining friends and going to the cinema when I get the chance. Netflix is great but you can’t beat the big screen.

An interesting fact? I was given a one-week old tortoise by a wine grower (who was also the local tortoise breeder) after making polite conversation and telling him I’d wanted one as a child…

What year were you born? 1980.

What languages do you speak? English and French.

How would your friends describe you? Middle-class & down to earth.

Anything else? I’ve lived in Paris and speak French, as well as some Italian.

What time zone are you in? UK/GMT (BST in the summer)

What hours do you work? I work flexible hours during the week to suit clients depending on where they are. I do a couple of evenings but these get quite booked up. I have the best availability during the day.
