From owning two successful businesses in Asia, hitchhiking in Africa at 17, sailing around Malaysia or motorbiking through the Rift Valley, I’ve always had a pioneering spirit and love for adventure and exploring the world.

Art, literature, music and poetry were always very important too. 

I studied philosophy and art with City University and Sotheby’s Institute.

I wanted something more. I researched psychotherapy and counselling but those disciplines didn't feel quite right. 

When I came across Life Coaching and NLP in 2006 and I immediately resonated with the philosophy and thinking.

You're not a victim of the past. No matter what happened you are so much more.

Life coaching and NLP wasn't just a career change for me; it was a personal transformation.

It helped me move from being stuck and unfulfilled to living a life with purpose. 

And here I am today, 20 years later, a successful Life Coach with NLP founder of the coaching school, The Courage Coaching Academy and EMDR Therapist.

Today my personal practice is helping clients compassionately resolving trauma through EMDR, and building an authentic and life through Coaching and NLP.

The past does not define you. No matter how complex your upbringing, or the experiences you've had, you can create a life that makes you happy today.

We all have within us a sense of who we could be with the right therapy or coaching. 

I believe that you are not broken, and you don’t need fixing. 

Irrational behaviours, anxiety, hurt, sadness and depression are all expressions of hidden pain. This doesn't mean something is wrong with you.

Our work together functions to heal that pain from the inside out.

Willpower or CBT will not work because those methods try to work from the outside in to force a change in thinking and behaviour. But you can't think yourself out of pain, anxiety or sadness. 

With EMDR & IFS we heal the hidden pain giving rise to these symptoms in the first place. 

The result is the problematic behaviours, self-sabotage, sadness and depression spontaneously resolve themselves. 

You get to a place of self-compassion, self-understanding and self-acceptance. 

This fosters a radical new relationship with self.
