About

I believe every person has a right to be here, and something valuable to offer.

I believe diversity, in all its forms, is a source of wisdom and strength, not a problem to be managed.

And I believe connection sits at the heart of meaningful change. Connection to self, to others, and to something larger than ourselves.

These beliefs shape everything I do.

My coaching practice

I’ve worked in the disability sector for 25+ years, including a decade at Scope, one of the UK’s leading disability charities, and four years chairing Access All Areas, a theatre company for learning disabled and autistic artists in London.

My work has taken me across sectors. Public, private, and charity. Over many years, I started to see how powerfully social, organisational and other systems shape people’s experiences. I was looking for language to understand that, and for ways to work more deeply with people and teams.

That led me to a coaching qualification. I’ve deepened my approach with ongoing studies and by receiving coaching through big changes in my own life. I’m part of a global coaching supervision group held by Eve Turner. When I gained my International Coaching Federation (ICF) credential, and again when I renewed it, I was mentored to Professional Certified Coach (PCC) level markers.

I deliver disability confidence workshops and inclusion consultancy for national organisations, through Business Disability Forum and Freeney Williams Ltd. In Bristol, UK, where I’m based, I develop community spaces where people can connect, debate and influence power. These aren’t a sideline. They come from the same beliefs that underpin my coaching. We’re all less broken, more connected and more abundant than the world sometimes lets us believe.
