About Me
Having spent 20 years working as a specialist teacher for pupils with complex needs, I now work as an ICF accredited coach supporting parents and professionals who are stressed out, overwhelmed and teetering towards burnout.
Together we identify what’s working, what needs to change and how to implement effective and sustainable changes. One step at a time I help clients get their heads back above water by doing things differently rather than doing even more.
I understand what it’s like to…
-
have too many tabs open
-
feel like everything’s a priority
-
feel like you’re playing whack-a-mole trying to keep up with everything life throws at you
-
be overwhelmed by responsibilities
-
live in a world where it’s normalised to be constantly fire fighting
However inconvenient a truth it may be, I also know that…
-
trying to do everything for everyone is not a superpower, it's a surefire route to burnout.
-
when we’re stressed out we cannot show up effectively as parents or professionals.
-
it’s crucial to find ways to protect and promote our own emotional health if we’re to be able to keep showing up at all.
-
we cannot break this cycle for our children by telling them what to do, we need to show them it’s possible.
-
it’s exhausting trying to figure out how to do this on your own.
I support clients to:
-
curb stress
-
overcome overwhelm
-
manage difficult emotions
-
understand and support children’s emotional awareness and regulation
-
find practical, sustainable ways forward by doing things differently rather than just doing more
