I am a member of the Association for Coaching, the British Psychological Society’s Special Group in Coaching Psychology, and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am a certified Master Practitioner in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and hold a Senior Practitioner qualification from the European Mentoring and Coaching Council’s accredited Coaches’ Programme at The School of Coaching.
The work I do with corporate clients is made more effective by my understanding of the dynamics of personal relationships gained from my wider training. I am a Cognitive Behavioural couples counsellor and have run a successful private relationship counselling practice with many City clients since 2004.
Recent Two Rivers coaching clients include: Ernst & Young; BBC Children in Need; King Sturge and Shire. I also work with schools, introducing senior management teams to coaching to support problem-solving and communication.
I am a former journalist and still write extensively on coaching and relationship issues. I have written four books looking at different aspects of relationships and contributed to programmes on the BBC, ITV and Channel Five.
