Credentials
My career began in banking. I worked my way from front-line services to bank manager, but it was my ability to build diverse and motivated teams that caught the eye of Bradford & Bingley’s HR Director. The rest, as they say, is history because that recognition led me into my second career – into HR and to become the bank’s Equality and Diversity lead.
I’ve subsequently spent more than two decades developing myself and others to deliver award-winning work in the areas of diversity, inclusion, mental health, and wellbeing.
As a consultant I partner those from all sectors whose passion is workplace wellbeing, mental health, and inclusion. I support with strategic advice, training, coaching, and mediation – all proven to boost an organisation’s inclusivity, productivity and engagement.
I’ve authored two books “MENtal Health journal” and “The Wellness Journal”. Both offer the guidance, tips, and exercises people need to better understand themselves and support their health. I’m already busy working on another book for release next year, focused on domestic violence.

Favourite film
I know many will pick something profound, but I just love Grease. Who isn’t uplifted seeing Liv and John burst into song and dance off into the sunset together? For me, it’s a great film for making you feel good about yourself and others.
