As Seen On
With over 15 years of experience in developing and delivering multi-award-winning resilience programmes, I empower individuals to overcome challenges and thrive in both their personal and professional lives. As an NLP Practitioner, Executive Coach, and DISC-certified facilitator, I have a deep understanding of how resilience influences all aspects of life. My expertise is informed by my background as a GP and former Medical Director, where I gained invaluable insights into stress, pressure, and change. Having held leadership roles within the NHS, I recognise the critical importance of building mental and emotional resilience to navigate life's complexities.
I offer resilience workshops in four key areas, each tailored to address specific challenges: building resilience as a parent, managing menopause, strengthening relationships, enhancing personal, professional and team resilience. My holistic approach equips individuals with the tools, support, and strategies needed for lasting change. With my extensive experience, I am well-placed to guide you through these transformative journeys, helping you emerge stronger, more confident, and better prepared to handle life's challenges.
