My aim is to facilitate excellent communication, using the skills and knowledge I have gained over many years. My background is in housing, education and the arts. Much of my freelance consultancy has been in the voluntary sector, and I am an Approved Consultant for NCVO. I am currently an active volunteer as a tutor with Manchester PCT for the Expert Patients Programme.

I combine sensitivity to underlying issues with keen analytical skills, and the courage to challenge where appropriate. I believe that everything we do arises out of our life experience, and I strive to be a calm, reassuring presence, supporting people to find the best outcome for their situation. I value a reflective approach, and the importance of creating space for thinking in today’s work environment.
