Trust the process - things are happening. If we're being brave and courageous already, we don't need to force the process. The magic is already happening

To live happier, healthier lives, kindness is key. A compassionate, kind attitude, not only makes others feel good, but we feel better too

Everything has a season. What feels difficult and neverending will not stay the same. If we're searching for a change, that shift will come

Curiosity is recognising a gap in our knowledge about something that interests us and becoming emotionally and cognitively invested in closing that gap through exploration and learning.

Mentoring & Coaching

We often seek mentoring or coaching when we feel stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for change — in our studies, careers, or personal lives. Both approaches create space for reflection, growth, and empowerment, helping us overcome challenges, build self-belief, and develop new habits for success.

While mentoring draws more directly on the mentor’s experience and advice, coaching is more reflective and goal-oriented, helping clients find their own solutions through guided questioning and structured support. Both depend on trust, respect, and confidentiality — the foundations of any successful professional relationship.

My Approach

My mentoring and coaching style blends psychological insight, educational expertise, and practical strategy. Drawing on my background as a teacher, counsellor, and facilitator, I tailor each session to the individual — whether that’s a student seeking motivation, a teacher pursuing development, or a parent wanting better communication at home.

Sessions are collaborative and person-centred. I use a mix of directive and non-directive methods so that clients feel guided yet empowered to take ownership of their growth. My aim is for every mentee or coachee to leave with greater clarity, confidence, and a set of realistic, meaningful next steps.

For Teachers

I mentor teachers at all stages of their careers — from trainees to experienced professionals. This includes support with classroom management, leadership, confidence, and navigating career transitions.

I’ve mentored PGCE and NQT teachers in the UK, as well as trainee educators in Spain preparing for the oposiciones (state teaching exams). Together, we explore communication, people management, boundary setting, and developing authentic teaching identities.

For established teachers, I offer coaching in behaviour management and leadership, helping them handle classroom or team challenges with calm and clarity. Often, simply having confidential, professional space to reflect with an experienced mentor provides the insight and reassurance needed to move forward with confidence.

For Students

I offer holistic academic mentoring for students aged 11+, blending subject-specific tuition with emotional support. Together, we work on study skills, time management, exam confidence, and motivation — while also addressing anxiety and self-esteem.

My counselling background allows me to approach mentoring with empathy and awareness. We identify barriers to learning and transform them into opportunities for growth. Students gain not only stronger results, but also greater confidence and focus. Parents often tell me, “Each time my son comes home from your lessons, he’s smiling again.”

For Parents

Parenting adolescents can be rewarding but also challenging. My coaching for parents helps reduce conflict, strengthen communication, and nurture more positive relationships at home — especially around study habits, motivation, and boundaries.

Many parents discover that others face similar struggles and find reassurance in learning new tools and perspectives. Small, consistent changes can lead to calmer, happier family life.

Why it Works

Mentoring and coaching are powerful catalysts for lasting change. Whether you’re a teacher seeking direction, a student rebuilding confidence, or a parent navigating challenges, this process creates clarity, balance, and self-belief.

With professional experience, emotional intelligence, and a humanistic approach, I provide a supportive, non-judgemental space where confidence can grow and people can truly thrive.
