ABOUT ME

Helen is a skilled and compassionate coach, coach supervisor and occupational therapist whose work is grounded in academic rigour and experience from working with a diverse range of clients. She has a deep curiosity and intuition about people and believes that a client’s narrative is the best way of getting to know them; where they are in the context of their lives and where they might be thinking about going.

Helen’s experience has been rich and varied working with all grades of staff across the European Commission as part of their internal coaching programme and more recently with South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation on a project supporting adults with mental health conditions back into work. She continues to work with the NHS Leadership Academy as wells as Genius Within, a social enterprise focused on supporting clients with neurodiverse conditions to fulfil their employment potential.

THE WAY I WORK

Helen’s coaching is underpinned by her occupational therapy training, the central tenet of which owes much to the ideas of humanism and pragmatism. Her approach is holistic, integrating person-centeredness with concepts taken from Gestalt Theory. As a coach, supervisor and therapist, clients describe her as reflective, with good analytical skills and a supportive non-directive approach.
