I'M READY! LET'S BOOK MY CALL

A bit more about me ……

I have worked for many years in senior HR roles, latterly as HR Director for Northern Gas Networks in Leeds. I was also Head of People Resources at First Direct for a number of years. I have got a strong HR background across most disciplines and am used to operating at a strategic and operational level. I also ran my own consulting business, People Matters, for a number of years whilst my children were younger.

I left NGN in 2019 to focus on family issues and during that time, qualified as a Wellbeing coach. I am accredited through the Association for Coaching and the NHS Personal Care Institute. I have had a keen interest in coaching for a number of years, and have seen first hand the power of coaching to help people live their best life, at home and work. Through All Very Well, I am combining my many years of coaching in the workplace to offer career and wellbeing coaching - often there's a huge overlap in work influencing wellbeing and vice versa.

In addition, I am currently studying for another MSc in the Psychology and Neuroscience of Mental Health, and am really keen that my coaching is scientifically evidence based wherever possible.

All Very Well is about helping career minded, mid-life professionals - men and women who might be experiencing transition through empty nesting, career change, organisational change, relationship changes or who just feel 'stuck'. I also aim to support the people aspects of organisational change, by providing 1:1 support where it is needed. It’s also about supporting working mums, with the unique demands on mums’ time and emotions.

My children are growing up. They’re 22, 20, 18 and 13 now and are starting to fly the nest and make their own way in the world. I’m so proud of them. But I can still readily recall what it was like to have three children under the age of 4; and then 4 children aged 8 and under. And then we got a puppy when my youngest was 12 months old (not my idea) and then a pony and I don’t even like horses!!

It was tough and at times I felt completely overwhelmed.

And all the while I was trying to keep my career in HR going … I was loathe to give it up as I’d worked hard to get where I was. Sound familiar?

I wish I’d had tools and techniques to help me during this time …. tools to help me manage the stresses, give me support, someone to talk to, to stop the feelings of guilt.

But talking to someone else can really help …. especially someone who’s been there.
