My coaching sessions are relaxed, supportive and practical, designed to help young people feel comfortable talking openly about the challenges they're facing and what they want to achieve.

I don't believe in telling students what to do. Instead, I help them step back, see things from a different perspective, recognise their strengths and work out their own solutions.

Each one-to-one online session is tailored to the individual. We start by exploring what's going well, what's proving difficult and what they'd like to change. Through structured conversations, coaching exercises and practical goal-setting, we work together to identify achievable steps forward.

Sessions can focus on building confidence and self-belief, managing academic pressure, improving motivation, developing better study habits and organisation, making decisions about future education or careers, or navigating personal challenges.

I'm a qualified Personal Performance Coach and Master NLP Practitioner, with experience coaching sixth-form students aged 16–18 at Gordano School. I also bring 20 years of experience in television production, where listening, understanding people and helping them perform at their best have been central to my work.

My aim is for every student to leave a session feeling more confident, clearer about their choices and equipped with practical strategies they can use in everyday life. Ultimately, I want to help young people develop the self-awareness, resilience and independence to make good decisions for themselves.
