ABOUT ME
I spent more than 30 years working in television, developing ideas, nurturing talent and bringing programmes to the screen. My roles included being the BBC's first Controller of Comedy Commissioning and Head of Comedy at Sky.
The part of the job I loved most was always working with people — helping writers shape scripts, supporting producers through creative challenges and developing emerging talent.
That interest eventually led me to train with Animas, gaining a Diploma in Transformative Coaching and adding professional coaching to the mentoring and talent development I had been doing throughout my career.
My own working life has taken several different directions. I've launched and run a business, worked as a consultant and headhunter, developed a portfolio career and, more recently, made space for my own creative practice as an artist.
Today, I bring all of that experience together as a creative mentor, working one-to-one with people who want to move something forward — whether that's a comedy script, a creative project, a new venture or a change of direction.
My approach combines mentoring and coaching: sometimes drawing on my own experience and industry knowledge, sometimes asking the right questions and giving you the space to find your own answers.
It's warm, practical, collaborative and completely confidential.
If there's something you'd like to move forward, I'd be delighted to have an introductory conversation.
