In 2023, I became a fully-qualified coach having achieved an ILM Diploma and an apprenticeship. I was awarded the ILM Level 5 Diploma in Coaching and Mentoring at the beginning of the year and then went through the end point assessment (EPA) for the apprenticeship. Having achieved a distinction in all three areas of the EPA, I was awarded a distinction overall in the Level 5 Coaching Professional Apprenticeship. 

​

I wanted to become a coach because I wanted to help others in the way that I had been helped. As I say, coaching changed my life! By the end of the apprenticeship (February 2023), I had done over 100 hours of coaching and had coached teachers, leaders and support staff both in person and virtually. 

​

I believe that everyone has the right to be heard and sometimes they just need another person to listen. In this world of ours, often our own voice can be drowned out by the voices and opinions of others. When I am coaching, I try to support my coachees to find their ‘tiny’ voice - the one that knows what they want to do but has just been quiet recently. My hope is that by the end of our coaching sessions you will have found your voice both metaphorically and literally.
