About Me


I have over 30 years experience in working in adult social care, health and housing in both  statutory and not-for-profit  organisations. I began my career as a trained social worker in an area team and progressed through the management line gaining experience in adult social care both as a senior provider manager and then in strategic commissioning. 

I became an independent consultant/interim manager in early 2005 and, since then, have worked with a range of public sector and not for profit organisations providing consultancy and senior management support. I have combined my management and professional expertise with executive coaching and team development  in order to provide a range of services which seek to enhance and strengthen management capacity for my clients. 

This ranges from interim management and project management to helping individuals and organisations deal with more sensitive and complex interpersonal and team issues which, left unresolved, impede both individual and organisational performance.

My selling point is that I combine consultancy support with a well grounded experience of adult  social care,  health and registered social landlords (RSLs). I have also chaired the board of a significant care and support provider so I am familiar with governance issues as well. I am therefore well aware of the sharp end pressures faced by individuals and teams in working in complex public service organizations.

I am trained  in Executive Coaching,  Workplace Mediation, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Group Facilitation Techniques. I  hold both an MBA and an MA in Public Sector Management. I have published a paper on business change processes and management creativity.

If you are an organisation needing additional capacity, a manager wanting to explore what coaching can do for you or you have an issue with a team or an individual then give me a call. I am  happy to talk to you on a strictly no obligation basis with a view to seeing how I can help you get the most from yourself and your people.
