About The Edge Coaching & Development
I provide high quality coaching, some therapy and personal development using NLP and a variety of other sources from Western and Eastern approaches to development. This includes my time in Peru with the teachers and shamans from the Q’ero Indians who live in the high Andes Mountains, and with a number of other spiritual teachers around the world. My practice draws the various traditions and techniques together to create an Integral Life Practice to support my clients to live mindful, fulfilled lives. Through my business, the edge – coaching & development, as well as my work with individual clients I also work with large public sector organisations and small businesses – always with the focus on learning, development and growth.
My training, work experience and any achievement
I have worn many hats in my life: record shop assistant, van driver, teacher, actor, director, lecturer, arts centre manager, business development manager, business owner. I have been involved in the development of people and businesses for over thirty-five years. I now focus on personal coaching programmes, storytelling, and encouraging Integral Life Practice with all my clients.

As well as being one of the first trained and qualified coaches in the UK, I am a Fellow of The RSA and member of the International Coach Federation., I am also a Fellow of both the Chartered Management Institute and the Institute of Leadership and Management. I hold a B.Ed, an MA and MPhil from the University of Leeds. As well as being a qualified coach, I am an NLP Master Practitioner and also certified in Spiral Dynamics Integral.
