I am a relatively new practitioner – and really enjoying my new career choice.   

​

I bring over 30 years of sector experience to my arts and charity coaching. 

 

I originally worked in the arts as a publicist - for the London Symphony Orchestra, Bristol Old Vic and Greenwich theatres and with London Contemporary Dance Theatre.

 

I then moved into the charity sector, gaining significant senior management and board experience – including for charities working in homelessness, human rights and mental health such as The Mental Health Foundation.  I have worked in small sheltered workshops, to major charities such as St Mungo's.  I am experienced in change management, senior leadership, fundraising, policy, communications and service provision.   Most recently I was a transformative Chair for Anti-Slavery International.

 

I am now a trained coach and counsellor.  I have benefitted from coaching myself - including when taking up a major new career role, for managing a long term health condition, and whilst setting up a new business.
