Portfolio GP, coach & mentor

I have been a medical doctor for 16 years and a GP for over half of that time.  In addition to my clinical work, I have significant experience in education, mentoring & service development & strategic leadership. 

I decided to become a coach & mentor after having benefited from these things myself during a time of uncertainty, reflection & transition in my life and career and I am passionate about sharing the impact that coaching / mentoring can bring.

I am a mother, a wife, a daughter & a sister to a sibling with special needs and I know what it’s like to juggle these roles alongside a demanding career.  I have recently returned to work after maternity leave following a challenging pregnancy / IVF journey & have a particular interest in supporting those who are in a transition phase in their life or career.

If you would like to understand yourself better & feel ready to set aside some time for non-judgemental, developmental discussion about where you are at & where you want to be going in your life & career, then coaching / mentoring is for you.  You will have the opportunity to pause & reflect on where you’ve come from, where you are now and gain clarity on what you want to do next.

In our sessions, we will employ a variety of strategies which may include evidence based exercises & profiling tools, to help you gain a deeper understanding of who you are.  We will explore what you really want / need in your life & work towards identifying key next steps that will help you to move forward.
