Welcome! With over 35 years of experience in the field of education, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to support your learning journey. My career has been dedicated to empowering students and individuals to achieve their fullest potential through personalised guidance and support.

In addition to my extensive background in education, I have a profound understanding of alcohol awareness, having actively participated in a 12-step programme for the past 25 years. This personal journey has equipped me with valuable insights and compassion, enabling me to provide empathetic and informed support to those navigating similar challenges.

As a coach, I am here to guide you, not as a counsellor, but as a partner in your growth and development. Together, we will work towards your goals, leveraging my experience and your unique strengths to create a path to success. Let's embark on this transformative journey together!

Empowering Change: Your Guide to Personal Growth

With over 35 years' experience in education, I understand the challenges and opportunities young people face today. My passion lies in helping individuals unlock their full potential and navigate life's obstacles.

Through my own journey of recovery (25 years in a 12-step programme), I've gained invaluable experience and insight. I now act as a group coach, not a counsellor, providing a supportive and encouraging environment for individuals to explore their goals and overcome challenges.

Whether you're seeking personal growth, navigating difficult choices, or simply wanting to connect with others on a similar path, I'm here to guide and support you. Let's work together to build a stronger, more fulfilling future.
