Coach and Wellness Facilitator, Trainer in First Aid for Mental Health
I’ve probably done something similar to what you do – and if not I’d love to find out what that is!
I have many years experience as a practitioner in the youth, church and community sectors – and trained as a coach to hone the skills and instinctive approach to things that I developed over the years.
My passion is to help people find the time and headspace to have a proper conversation with themselves, and to better understand who they are called to be as a result.
I work with individuals and groups, and am happy to coach about almost anything – I do have a particular interest in all things mental fitness and wellbeing related though.
I offer in-person and online coaching and mentoring – including walking coaching and using art or poetry.
