About Me

I've been supporting, coaching, advising and providing counsel to people since the late nineties. Whether it's been as a business consultant, Executive Coach, meditation teacher or martial arts trainer - being able to help and support other people to be more insightful, successful and fulfilled has always been a passion of mine.

A bit more about me
I was born in Scotland to English and Anglo-Indian parents and went to Newcastle University where I gained my BA in History and Politics. I then trained in martial arts and meditation - setting up and running successful health related organisations, writing an internationally published book, producing four best selling DVDs and working for clients such as Unilever and Roche.
I founded my own digital marketing agency looking after many clients including Salty Dog and Big Star Copywriting before training to be an Executive Coach.
I've studied and practised Buddhist psychology for over 20 years, as well as completing regular retreats. I worked closely with Dale Lockett (Integral Master Coach™) for over two years. I'm currently being mentored by the Executive Coach Martin Palethorpe, who is a Quality of Mind specialist and runs The Pragma Group.
My current clients include senior leaders working in finance, recruitment as well as serial entrepreneurs, musicians, artists and leaders within education and the charity sector.
