I have something worthwhile to say not only about the particular topics which have affected my life and taken me to some dark places, but also on a wider variety of business topics which I see differently because of my experiences. It is my opportunity to give something to those seeking support.
Sometimes you simply need someone to help you believe that there is a way forward.
I survived a challenging childhood, two life threatening episodes of cancer, an abusive business relationship, unemployment and severe financial difficulties and to quote Maya Angelou - "Still I Rise".
My journey has taught me what truly matters in life, what works when plans collapse, motivation disappears, and you need something more reliable than willpower.
I help people rewire their thinking and change their mindset for a more positive future by blending practical insight with a compassionate, grounded approach.
Whether you are rebuilding after setbacks or trying to break negative patterns, I guide you to get by today while creating the mental shifts that make tomorrow genuinely different.
I have had a portfolio career across:
Automotive manufacturing and retail
Commercial and residential property
Further education
Financial and Banking
Charity / third sector

Jaguar Land Rover
Scholars School System
