I draw on a wide variety of ways of working, having had long experience as a leader, doctor, teacher, mentor, supervisor and coach. As a doctor, I did some initial training in psychiatry (including Cognitive Analytic Therapy), and after qualifying as a GP I worked for many years consulting with patients. I also trained in small group work and teamwork, helping groups of newly qualified doctors to develop their practice.

At Norwich Medical School, I was a coach and mentor to GPs who taught our medical students, helping them to develop as GP teachers. As a Senior Appraiser for NHSEngland, I supervised and supported colleagues who provided annual appraisals for doctors. I have now retired from these medical roles.

I started working as a coach with GP colleagues using MBTI (from 2004), and I have my own small coaching practice. My coaching work has developed since my retirement as a doctor and is informed by many models, including Brief Solutions-Focussed coaching.

I have worked as a coach for Akeso since 2021 and now also work as a supervisor of coaches within that organisation. I enjoy learning and continue to develop my coaching and supervision practice with regular CPD, including pursuing my own supervision.
