ABOUT

I am an experienced and award-winning mental health trainer, coach and mindfulness and self-compassion facilitator.

I have a particular interest in self-compassion approaches to help manage anxiety in times of uncertainty and relate to ourselves more helpfully during difficulty.

Originally qualified as a Registered General Nurse and Occupational Health nurse, I have worked within many different workplace settings. I have extensive experience in developing strategic approaches for improving mental health and wellbeing at work, working previously as a Mental Wellbeing specialist for National Grid.

I have developed and delivered many sessions which help people to improve their mental health and wellbeing at work — including line manager training, helping managers to feel confident when supporting individuals at work experiencing distress and to create an environment in which people can flourish.

I run regular retreats helping individuals to develop mindfulness and self-compassion skills, especially those experiencing pain from physical health difficulties and emotional distress. I am also a qualified psychotherapist and coach.
