Coaching

Are you passionate about education? Do you need some space and time – where no-one is vying for your attention – to gain clarity, develop your practice and explore how you can be of service to your students, your colleagues and your loved ones while not losing yourself in the process?

I have a Masters in Library and Information Studies and a PTTLS. I am a Senior Fellow of Advance HE and I have an ILM qualification in Coaching and Mentoring. I have trained people in information literacy, inc social media, for 16 years. I have organised conferences, spoken on large and small stages, and written numerous guest blog posts, articles and reviews. I have returned from maternity leave twice. Underlying all of this is a passion for lifelong learning and a desire for kindness.


You can often find me holding my coaching or meetings outdoors. I particularly like how getting in nature helps us to get out of our heads. My style is calming, thoughtful and encouraging. I am not a harsh task master - I am gently persistent in helping you make the changes you wish for.

Who I coach:

I coach academics and professional service staff. My background combines the UK Higher and Further Education sector with the world of information professionals. While I have an affinity with this area, it encompasses a large skillset in my clients which means I am open to working with others where I can provide value.

How I coach:

In our first coaching session, we can look at defining and honing a larger goal or getting some quick wins completed - it’s up to you. If you choose further sessions we can break down your goals into smaller, realistic and achievable steps. It can be hard work, mentally, to be coached and I will be your champion. I will be gently persistent in helping you achieve and surpass your targets. If you want to get a feel for me, my work and my personality (and I recommend you do) have a look at my LinkedIn page where I post videos, testimonials and stories.


Where I coach:

I can provide 1:1 in person coaching in the Beaconsfield, Bourne End, Flackwell Heath, Wooburn Green areas - outside where possible. I can also provide coaching via Zoom and FaceTime.
