I’m sure you’d like to know a little about me.

I’m a qualified Personal Development Coach, being one of the first in the UK to achieve the new EDEXCEL BTEC Certificate in Life Coaching Skills and Practice, the highest officially recognised Life Coaching qualification
currently available.

I believe in one to one coaching (so much more effective and personal than over the phone) and am passionate about helping you live the life you truly want.

Why? Because I understand that life can be hard these days. With ever increasing demands on our energy, time and money there seems to be less time and energy to spend on the people, things or activities we love. It’s all too easy to feel exhausted, burnt out, stressed, worthless…. Fun? What’s that?

I’ve seen this first hand. For the last 20 years I’ve worked in mid to senior level recruitment and I admit I’m good at it, being one of the few recruiters to be awarded Fellowship status of the Recruitment and Employment Confederation which identifies me as a recruiter whose commitment to raising standards has been recognised by my peers. So many of the candidates I have worked with have been ground down and felt defeated, trapped. Often, they think that the magic answer is a change of job and sometimes that can indeed do the trick. But only if it was the job that was the whole problem in the first place and if the move is the right one to make …..

The reason why I’ve been able to make a difference is that I won’t conform to the norm. I believe wholeheartedly that any activity we spend the majority of our lives doing should be something that we enjoy, in an organisation which is supportive of our values, amongst people that we find inspiring and refreshing. Just having the required skills isn’t enough. And that applies whether we’re talking about those doing the recruiting or those being recruited.

I work closely with my clients to help them build truly special teams. Teams that make a difference. Happy teams. Sounds a little crazy, doesn’t it? ...... but it works.

My coaching skills and beliefs support me in that task. But life isn’t all about work, even though it may feel like that sometimes. And it is that bigger picture that Life Refreshed addresses.

Sometimes we have to stick with a job that isn’t ideal, due to financial or other practical constraints. But however hopeless it may seem, I can genuinely help you improve your life even if a career change or job move isn’t possible at that time. And when your life outside work is more in balance, then it’s so much easier to deal with any pressures or frustrations inside work, helping you to be more content and increasingly effective.

I’d love to work with you, to refresh your life. Coaching doesn’t have to be something that only other people do. Call me and start living the life you love.
