About me
I’m a transformative coach and New Zealand Barrister and Solicitor—I work as both a coach and lawyer.
​
Having worked as a lawyer for over twenty years, I began to reflect on what I wanted to do with the next phase in my life. I realised that helping other people to reach their potential and grow gave me immense pleasure. So I completed the International Coach Federation training to become a certified coach. I can now help people using my professional skills.
I’ve spent nearly seven years as a mediator and over 20 years as a lawyer. I’ve been the Chief Legal Advisor of two large public sector organisations in New Zealand. I'm a volunteer mentor for both the Victoria University Student Union and the Graeme Dingle Foundation.
​
I’m a trained mediator with a master’s degree in dispute resolution. I trained as a Transformative Coach through the Coach Masters Academy NZ—an organisation affiliated to the International Coaching Federation.
