The coaching and therapy service (previously called Unleash Your Potential) was founded in 2005 at a time when I was feeling unfulfilled in my marketing management career and searching for something more meaningful to me. One day, I came across an ​article about a 'life coach' in a local newspaper - and was instantly hooked. Soon after, training began, and my new path unfolded.

Over the past 20 years I've had the honour of working alongside people from all walks of life, helping them to focus on what truly matters to them. Through coaching and therapy, I've witnessed countless individuals take meaningful and courageous steps forwards - actions that have led to profound and lasting change. There's no job on earth I'd rather do.

In 2016, after 14 years of debilitating ill health, I discovered a psychological approach that transformed my own life and the way I work with clients: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT helps people live rich, values driven lives -  even in the presence of difficult thoughts, feelings or experiences. It's about changing our relationship with those experiences so they have less power over us, allowing greater freedom to be who we truly are and to live in line with our values. Combined with Coaching or Counselling, ACT provides a powerful framework for developing psychological flexibility and enhanced wellbeing.

Together with a team of highly skilled and compassionate associate, our mission is simple: to help you thrive - both in and out of the workplace. We've created a down-to earth, friendly environment where you can metaphorically kick off your shoes and be completely yourself.

We want the best for you. 
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask - we'd love to hear from you.
We look forward to working with you.
