What services do you provide?

I provide coaching and supervision for health service managers and leaders. I also work with small business owners and other managers and leaders who want coaching or mentoring.

What's the difference between coaching and mentoring?

Coaches generally ask questions which you respond to then we explore the WHY. Mentors share their experiences, you gain a new perspective then we explore the HOW.

How much do you charge?

I charge $150 plus GST per hour for personal one-on-one sessions. I also run courses in leadership, self-care and releasing time to lead – I can give you a price for the courses if you are interested.

Do I need to sign up for a set number of sessions?

No, I generally suggest a minimum of 6 sessions but that is not compulsory.

Do I have to sign a contract?

No, you don't have to sign a contract. I do ask you to sign an agreement which sets out how we will work together. If you want, I can provide you with a copy – just ask me.

Do you see clients in person or online?

Both – sometimes I meet clients at their work or at say a local coffee shop. I also see clients via Teams or Zoom.

What training have you had?

My original training was as an accountant and I have an MBA, a Diploma in Business and a Diploma in Professional Coaching. I am a Chartered Manager, a Certified Health Executive and a Fellow of both the Australasian College of Health Service Management and the Institute of Managers and Leaders. I am also a qualified Project Manager and a Master Trainer in the NHS Productive Series service improvement techniques.

How long have you been a coach/mentor?

I started working as a coach/mentor in 2020. I took a break when I went back to work fulltime in 2024 and then resumed in 2026.

Why should I use your service?

I have had a lot of experience as a manager and a leader in the public and private sector. I have run my own businesses in New Zealand, Australia and the UK and I draw on my experiences to help you solve problems that you may be having. There are very few problems that I haven't encountered so I am able to give good advice and assistance.

What experience do you have supporting businesses?

I have run my own business on many occasions – everything from a bookstore to a promotional products company. I currently have 2 businesses – my coaching/mentoring business and an online retail store selling sunbrims to cyclists and equestrians. I am also involved with a boutique consulting business in the UK and have owned a business in Australia. I have coached many different businesses from a lawn mowing company to a cake shop.
