I’ve always loved the arts, ever since I was very young. As a child you would have found me painting and drawing, reading and writing stories, or directing my younger siblings on how to improve our current play or dance show!

I studied for a BA in Contemporary Fine Arts Practice at a small and unique arts university, called Dartington College of Arts, set right in the middle of the Devonshire countryside. Surrounded by musicians, artists, dancers, writers, trees and fields - I knew I had found my place.

From then on I have made it my mission in life to live and work with creatives and in creative places, with roles in Galleries such as Fabrica, the Royal West of England Academy and Spike Island and within educational institutions including, University of the West of England and Bath University. Alongside this, I have maintained my own arts practice, delivering community projects and workshops, exhibitions and residencies and collaborating with Artists and groups such as Spilt Milk Gallery, Somerset Artworks and delivering creative development workshops for student scholars.

I often work with people at various transition stages of life, students, graduates, those in early motherhood and following retirement. Whatever stage you are at, I can support you to define, develop and work towards you future goals and consider ways around your challenges and thinking blocks.

I work with you in a supportive, confidential, and non-judgemental space, giving you the opportunity to delve deep into professional and/or personal plans. I use integrative models dependant on your needs including - Thinking Environments, Gestalt and Solutions Focused.

I have a unique approach combining creative thinking tools such as metaphor, clean language, visioning, journaling and practical art making, to help explore your values and way of thinking - with a sprinkle of fun and play!

I can support you to develop new ideas, consider different options and perspectives, work towards goals, provide listening, challenge and accountability.

Sessions can be booked as one off’s for specific topics or blocks (6-2) for longer term thinking about next steps and can be held online or in person for those based near Bristol or Bath.

I am delighted to have recently qualified in Level 5 Professional Coaching, with BPP University, passing with Distinction. Currently working towards accreditation with EMCC.
