What interests me is how to provide the support you need to reach your maximum potential, in whatever sphere you choose. Career, creativity, relationship coaching are all founded securely on a holistic view of who you are at your core – and who you will be when you live that on a daily basis. Not just occasionally on a good day, but the knowledge that you are in the right place with the right people and nurturing the right values, skills and knowledge you need to achieve that.
Whatever you want coaching to help with I start by asking all my clients these five key questions:
1 What is it you want?
2 Why do you want it?
3 What would life look like if you had it?
4 What is holding you back from getting it?
5 What do you need to help you to effortlessly attain your goal?
I have trained with CoachU in the USA, Results Coaching of Australia, and with Eric Maisel in the USA to coach creative people. Everything I have learned, the skills I have developed, all come down to this simple formula that I help you learn to apply to all your actions:
You must be who you are in order to do whatever is needed to have whatever you want
You will notice this starts from being who you are, not the actions needed to achieve your goal. Success stems from the certainty that you have the ability and confidence to achieve what you want, and that is founded on a strong sense of self worth and belief. Sadly, for many people that has been lost along the path of being busy and occupied with actions, but to recognise your strengths you have to start from your core qualities and I can help you to identify those and bring them to daily prominence in your life.
As a coach, my background in media and as an entrepreneur helps me see round the corners and flow with the complex situations that come from the creative mind that is engaged with problem solving, business and creativity itself.

Although in my view all coaching is a creative process, when you are ready to explore your talents as an artist in any field then it demands special qualities of both you and your coach. When you are working on a creative project you have signed up for a demanding rollercoaster of a ride that is challenging, emotional and ultimately more fulfilling than you can imagine.
I trained with the renowned US Creativity Coach Eric Maisel and, as a writer myself, I understand the whole journey from thought to page to completion and how we can trip ourselves upon the way. I can help light your way – and please do read what some of my clients have said below :
This is what some of my coaching clients have said about me – with their full permission:
“I am amazed at the difference it has made having you as a coach. I have always been self-motivated but the focus and direction you helped give me just blew me away”. Leslie Kenton – author
“Thank you for coaxing this book out of me. Without your encouragement and persistence it wouldn’t exist.”
Ann Lewis – author of ‘Getting Back on Track: regaining your confidence and presence at work’
” On the personal level I got more out of this than in ANY modality of counselling I’ve been in.” Peter Wright – Bowen Therapist.
” My book ‘Tired But Wired’ was finally published on June 3rd and has been doing very well. We’re already on the second reprint! The press interest has also been pretty good and it comes out in the US in October and I’m hoping for a good reception. A BIG thanks to you for all of your help and support during those frustrating early stages of trying to write. Nerina Ramlakham author and Director of Equilibrium Solutions
I am a coach, not a miracle worker, but I do have a large toolkit to help you identify what you really want in life and then decide how to get it. It’s human nature to always want more of something — money, meaning, love — and coaching helps cut through all the excuses and issues and actually make it happen.
