Qualifications and background

I achieved a first class honours BA majoring in Psychology from the University of Queensland in 1988.  My passion for psychology, and in particular the application of psychology in the workplace was re-ignited and I then completed my Masters in Occupational Psychology at Birkbeck University in 2001.   I then went on to complete my qualifications in coaching and supervision, whilst always keenly pursuing relevant continual professional development.  I am passionate about learning.

My professional qualifications and affiliations include:

• Associate Fellow of The British Psychological Society (AFBPsS),

• Registered Occupational Psychologist (HCPC)

• Accredited Professional Executive Coach (Association for Coaching), 

• Accredited Coaching Supervisor (CSA).

​

 I hold the BPS Level A and B (now called the EFPA Level 1 and 2) and  am qualified in the following psychometric tests:

• MBTI (Step I and II)

• Hogan Personality Inventory,

• EQ-i 360. 

These tools can be helpful in the coaching process for raising self-awareness and better understanding behaviour.   

Before moving into consulting in 2000,  I worked in a variety of roles, including retail, recruitment, marketing, and facilities management.   I have worked independently as the director of my own business for the past 8 years, been part of large, multi-discipinary teams, experienced the thrill and fear of being a newly appointed junior manager, and led large and disparate teams in a variety of contexts.
