Feeling stuck or uncertain of your next step? Experienced coach and university educator for students and adults -based in Chester.

Coaching with me is a practical, honest conversation focused on where you are now and what you want to achieve. I work with students and adults who want greater confidence, clearer direction, stronger communication, or support with personal, academic and professional goals. I bring over 30 years’ experience in further and higher education, including working as a Senior Lecturer and Programme Leader, alongside an MSc in Health Sciences and my experience as a coach, speaker and mentor. I know how to listen, ask thoughtful questions, explain ideas clearly and adapt my approach to different people. We will begin by identifying what you want to work on and what may be getting in the way. Each session will be shaped around you, using reflection, practical exercises and clear actions that you can apply beyond the session. You can expect me to be encouraging, but also direct. I will challenge you to look beyond the obvious, question the assumptions limiting your choices and decide what action you are willing to take next. My role is not to tell you what you want to hear, but to guide you towards seeing more clearly what needs to change and what you are prepared to do about it. Depending on your goals, I can teach practical approaches to building confidence, communicating effectively, setting meaningful goals, making decisions and developing the self-awareness needed to move forward. I will explain ideas clearly, introduce useful tools and give you opportunities to apply what you learn to your own situation.
