I work as one of the leading personal development and transformational coaches in the UK and believe in combining academic rigour with down to earth communication skills. I am accredited with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Association of Rational Emotive Behaviour Practitioners and the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies as both a Therapist and Coach. During my career I helped found the Association for Coaching and am now the Chair and a Life Fellow of the Association for Coaching UK. I am also a Fellow of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Institute of Management Studies and Royal Society of Arts. I love being an innovator and am one of the UK founders of Cognitive Behavioural Coaching and an internationally published author with a range of books of a popular and academic nature on coaching and counselling. I have presented a range of coaching programmes and was listed as one of the UK’s Top Ten Coaches by the Business Section of the Independent on Sunday and also the Observer on Sunday and one of the UK’s Twenty Top Therapists by the Evening Standard. I am passionate about coaching individuals to master the psychological complexities of 21st century living. I truly believe that success in all its many guises can be obtained as long as we don’t let life get in the way of living.
