My Profile & Credentials

My working life prior to establishing Elmbank Coaching was in Blue Chip Pharmaceuticals.   I became a professional coach after 30+ years in science and pharmaceutical research and development.   Becoming a coach and coach supervisior was a logical extension of my leadership style and approach. As I persude coaching further, I became professionally certificated and accredited, and gained experience coaching others and being coached myself, coaching has become more than a new skill; it has become a way of being.  

My coaching is informed by curiosity, enquiry and industrial and leadership experience and you will find my coaching to be supportive, challenging and professional.  I set up Elmbank Coaching Ltd. as an independent coaching practice to further enable my passion for coaching and supporting others to grow and develop into their best selves.  I work with clients who stuck, are in transition and change,  and who are motiovated and ready to make changes in their lives that enable them to be who they want to be and to be at their best more often.

My last role before leaving GlaxoSmithKline was coach and facilitator within GSK’s Coaching Centre of Excellence.  As Director of Coaching I was responsible for the global internal coaching programme delivering 1,000 coaching assignments annually, to individuals across GSK, through 465 internal  "Job Plus" Coaches.   I coached individuals and groups, trained internal coaches, facilitated coaching workshops for leaders and supervisors and consulted on coaching strategy and implementation with HR and business leaders. My experiences in the Coaching CoE shaping and delivering a coaching strategy to reach 100,000 employees gives me a first hand insight to the world of Coaching and Internal Coaching in particular.

I recently completed training as a practitioner in Systemic Coaching and Constellations, which I am incorporating into my coaching and supervision work and finding to be immensely useful to clients and integrates easily with my style and approach. 

My background is in science – I have a PhD in biochemistry and molecular biology and worked for several years as a laboratory researcher, then project leader, external collaborations manager and then director and department head leading teams in the UK, US and India.  I have worked with colleagues across the global GSK organisation and managed science projects, external collaborations, change initiatives and outsourcing projects.  I have experienced mergers and reorganisations and made several career and personal transition decisions through my working life to date.  

I am based in Hertfordshire, within easy access of London.
