My background and experience

Whilst there is much more to a successful coach than their qualifications and training, as a potential client it’s reassuring to know that this isn’t just someone who says than can coach.

Formal training, education, and ongoing professional development also add to the confidence of the coach and their credibility in what is a competitive field of work.

With this in mind, here’s a short list of the qualifications and training relevant to my coaching work:

·        Post Graduate Certificate in Integrative Coaching and       Counselling

·        BSc (Hons) 2:1 Psychology

·        MSc Place Management and Leadership

·        IAFPD Primary Certificate in Coaching Supervision

·        NEBOSH Certificate in General Health & Safety

·        RSA Certificate Adult Education & Training Guidance

·        C&G 730 Further & Adult Education Teacher’s Certificate

·        C&G 926 Adult Trainers Award

During my coaching career in private practice, I have often worked in part-time roles as I think it’s important to have up to date and ongoing contact with the workplace as many of my clients approach me for coaching and support due to issues arising at work.

I have worked in a variety of sectors; the charity sector, further and higher education and with local and central government to name a few as well as several years experience in the private sector.

My working career has involved working with a huge variety of different client groups, often in senior roles with responsibility for developing either client beneficiaries of the service provided or, fellow employees through the coaching and personal development process.
