About Me

Teaching, writing, research, and meaningful, evidence-based wellbeing are my passions. Over the years, I’ve brought these elements together in my work as a teacher, mentor, counsellor, author, and wellbeing advocate.

With over twenty years’ experience teaching in primary and secondary schools across France, England, and Spain, I’ve developed a deep understanding of how children and young people learn, develop, and connect. 

Working with and leading inspiring teams of educators has shown me the power of collaboration and shared purpose in creating supportive environments where everyone can thrive.

Alongside my classroom teaching, I have spent many years delivering private, bespoke French, Spanish, and English tuition for students of all ages. Many of these young people faced challenges such as anxiety, neurodiversity, illness, or low confidence. My approach combines academic guidance with emotional understanding — helping each learner feel valued, capable, and motivated to reach their goals. Reflections from students and parents can be found on my Testimonials page.

Coaching and mentoring teachers has also been one of the most rewarding aspects of my career. Supporting others to grow into confident, reflective professionals has reinforced my belief that encouragement, empathy, and teamwork can transform both individuals and whole school communities.

At the heart of my work lies a commitment to helping children, adolescents, and adults flourish. When we rebuild confidence, rediscover strengths, and move beyond self-doubt, we unlock real potential — in education, relationships, and personal wellbeing.

Supporting parents has become another vital part of my focus. Parenting can feel overwhelming, especially when navigating the academic and emotional challenges of modern life. I offer a compassionate, understanding space to reflect, gain reassurance, and find practical strategies to strengthen communication and connection with their children.

I’m deeply committed to lifelong learning. Alongside my teaching career, I’ve gained counselling qualifications, delivered international workshops, and written a self-help book. Now based in Spain, I continue to research, write, and promote wellbeing, creativity, and connection — believing that when we nurture understanding, we all have the capacity to grow, heal, and truly thrive
