Executive Coach
I am an experienced leadership and organisational coach with 25 years' business experience and a proven track record. Operating independently, I work with a small group of associates who share a common ehtical and philisophical approach. I have a broad range of experience with multi-national companies and work in the UK and internationally.
My 10-year coaching career was preceded by 15 years in hands-on senior management and executive positions in public and private sectors. These included the travel industry, professional publishing, human resource consultancy and the National Health Service. This provides invaluable, first-hand understanding of the enablers and barriers to human change.
A active member of the SIHR, I subcribe to the aims of membership: '...to facilitate the growth of individuals in their sense of themselves, their relationships, their workplaces, and cultural environments.'
Likewise through membership, I subscribe to the motivation of OPUS '...an organisation of people who believe that it is important that we and others develop a deeper understanding of organisational and societal processes...to promote the development of the reflective citizen.'
I am qualified Level B in Psychometrics including Myers Briggs Type Indicator, Steps 1 and 2 and accredited in use of 360 degree feedback instruments.
I am certified and registered to use the Leadership Development Profile (LDP).
Supervisor
I am a SIHR trained psychodynamic supervisor and provide supervision for fellow professionals either as individuals or in small groups.
Psychotherapy and Counselling Services
I am a UKCP registered psychodynamic psychotherapist based in Perthshire, Scotland. I provide open-ended psychotherapy or fixed-term therapeutic counselling to adults.
The general principle behind a psychodynamic approach is that much distress has been caused by events in early life. Often out of our general awareness this distress can continue to impact unhelpfully on present day living. It may emerge as poor relationships with others, low self esteem, depression and/or lack of a sense of purpose as well as specific symptoms of distress.
In addition to more general psychotherapy, I am an accredited EMDR therapist. EMDR or Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing is a relatively recent treatment shown to be helpful for individuals experiencing the impact of trauma (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD).
What is psychotherapy?
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is a talking therapy that can be helpful in a range of presenting issues, for example, for those experiencing:- Feelings of unease or emptiness, loss of meaning, direction or purpose in life
- PTSD or other distressing events, recently or in the past
- Abuse (sexual, emotional)
- Anger
- Unhelpful patterns in relationships
- Low self-esteem and/or self-confidence
- Stress or bullying
- Difficulties with food
- Self-injuring
- Obsessions
- Depression
- Phobias
With perseverence it can lead to sustainable change.
What happens?
If you contact me as a first step to considering psychotherapy, I will arrange to talk to you on the telephone for a short time to hear briefly about your situation and explain about fees.
The next step is to arrange for you to attend an assessment interview, which is chargeable, where we take the time to explore your requirements at greater depth, consider your concerns, answer your questions and I will explain how I tend to work.
If you believe my particular approach will be of help to you and we decide to go ahead a regular appointment time will be agreed.
What will it cost?
From 1 April 2009, the standard 50-minute consultation fee for once-weekly attendance is £43. The first assessment consultation of 75 minutes is £64.50. Twice-weekly attendance is reduced to £38 per 50-minute consultation. Couples are charged at £60 per 50-minute consultation and pro rata for assessment. Organisational counselling fees are available on request.
Are you considering executive coaching?
The type of personal development coaching offers is frequently focused on specific cultural or performance objectives. Executive coaching for leadership, team dynamics and work-life balance are examples of this.
Organisations or individuals may focus more generally on achieving enhanced managerial ‘maturity’. In this case, creativity, adaptability and personal accountability may take centre stage.
There are, however, common denominators:- Overall business performance is dependent on the individuals and the system (i.e. the organisation and/or industry sector)
- Motivation in the system, whether positive or negative, is governed by value-driven communications
- Most communication in the system is not immediately available to conscious thought but is implicitly ‘lived’ through the decisions and actions of individuals and teams.
Choosing a coach or provider of coaching is an important stage in the coaching contacting process.
Evidence suggests that personal development through coaching releases the capacity for change. By their very nature, implicit patterns of decision-making are not available to higher thought and choice. Greater awareness of these introduces choice and accountability.
Coaching provides insight about personal impact: actual and desired.
How coaching works is less clear though it is critical that the work is grounded and contained within a philosophical and/or theoretical coaching framework.
Important for organisations interested in the wider but less tangible aspects to the concept of governance, resilience within the system depends on underlying stress responses. It is a slippery slope if key individuals are unable to act on their consciences.
Supervision
What is it?
It is where a supervisor and supervisee set a contract to work together towards developing the competence of the supervisee in the context of the helping work that they perform. The professional aims include a duty of care for both the supervisee and their client in the work they do together.
Who needs it?
Supervision is compulsory for those who work as registered counsellors and psychotherapists. It is part of the ethical principles we all agree to abide by as part of this professional status and membership
Supervision is also seen as part and parcel of good practice in coaching and other helping professions.
What does it do?
Peter Hawkins and Robin Shohet 2007 (Reference 8) have produced a useful text about supervision in the helping professions. They explain how supervision has a number of functions, which include:
Education – helping the supervisee understand their client better and helping them become more aware of their own reactions and responses Supportive – helping the supervisee deal with any reactions to distressing material Managerial – this is about taking responsibility with the supervisee to ensure that the ethical standards of the profession are maintained.
My approach
I have undertaken professional training with the Scottish Institute of Human Relations (SIHR). The approach involves understanding the unconscious dynamics that occur between helpers and their clients and the influence of the relevant organisational context within which the work is undertaken – and how these are communicated within the supervisory relationship.
By considering the unconscious dimension in their work, the supervisee is able to stand back and consider a different perspective, which can add considerably to understanding of what their client or patient brings.
I undertake regular consultancy for my supervisory practice.
What I offer
For counsellors, psychotherapists, psychologists and other individuals involved in the helping professions:- Psychodynamically informed supervision on a one-to-one basis
