I provide a range of services which can be tailored to individual and group needs. I love supporting people in working towards their goals, and that is why I try to make sessions as fun and constructive as possible. I do have set rates, however, everyone’s budgets are different, so I operate an honesty policy. If the rates I have set are outside of what you can afford, contact me and I can see if something can be arranged. I am also open to payment plans.
My honesty policy is this. If you can pay the rates outlined below, please do not ask for lower ones – I am trying to make a living whilst also making my services as accessible as possible. If the set rates are outside of your budget, drop me a message and let me know what your budget is so we can make things work for you!
All services are provided online, with a link being sent in advance. In person sessions are available for larger groups/employers. If you would like to discuss day rates for in person sessions, please contact me here.

Workshops
Confidence in the Classroom (Teachers & Students)
Teachers: Are you new to teaching? Perhaps you want to enhance your confidence? This workshop is designed to encourage reflection, discussion and generate discussions amongst educators about areas they excell in, and those areas they would like to improve. These sessions can be individual or group depending on individual preferences, and can be in person or online.
Students: Are you scared of giving the wrong answer? Perhaps you want to contribute more in seminars? This workshop is designed to encourage reflection, discussion and generate discussions amongst students about areas they excell in, and those areas they would like to improve. These sessions can be individual or group depending on individual preferences, and can be in person or online.
Public Speaking
These sessions go beyond the ‘security’ of the classroom environment and starts to address other areas of public speaking such as conferences, meetings, and speeches. During these sessions we can work for in person and hybrid engagments, with tone, confidence and body language being amonst the topics we will cover.
Employability
This session thinks about what makes someone employable, what could you do to make yourself standout from the crowd more, and how do you create an application that gives you the best chance possible to get the job you are applying for.
Resilience and Wellbeing in the Workplace
A healthy work environment is so important, and the ability to recognise your own needs to achieve this is key. The concept of ‘resilience’ often implies not showing emotion and powering on through whatever the situation is, including job rejections and unsuccessful promotions. This workshop explores how individuals understand resilience and wellbeing in relation to themselves and the teams they are part of.
Interview Practice
You have already impressed the recruiters enough to be short listed, so now let’s build on how you present yourself in person. Irrespective of whether the interview is in person or online, thy way you respond to tasks and questions is key in convincing the recruiting panel that you are the person they need to hire.
