Mentoring
Mentoring has always been at the heart of what I do. I’m passionate about helping people learn, grow, and reach their potential — whether that’s on the pitch, in the classroom, or within their professional environment.
I’m currently working with England Para footballers on the Sporting Excellence Professional apprenticeship, providing tailored 1-to-1 mentoring to help players manage the balance between performance, education, and life beyond football.
I’ve also spent over three years as a Health and Wellbeing Coach, working 1-to-1 with adults to set goals, develop motivation, and make lasting lifestyle changes.
I hold a range of mentoring-related qualifications, including Motivational Interviewing techniques, which shape my approach — one built on trust, listening, and helping people find their own solutions.
If you’re looking for mentoring support — whether for coaches, athletes, or staff — I’d love to explore how we can work together to help people thrive.
Athletes
We are able to offer mentoring to adult and youth athletes across the disability sport landscape, offering bespoke support to help work with individuals to improve their mindset and approach to performance.
My approach to athlete mentoring is built around the individual. Everyone’s journey is different, and effective support starts with taking the time to really listen — to understand the person behind the athlete.
Through a person-centred approach, I create a space where athletes feel heard, valued, and supported to take ownership of their development. Mentoring sessions are tailored to each person’s goals, challenges, and environment, helping them build self-awareness and the tools to manage both performance and personal growth.
A key focus of my work is on developing confidence, resilience, and a high-performance mindset. Together, we explore how to handle setbacks, stay focused under pressure, and maintain balance in demanding environments — whether that’s in elite competition, training, or daily life.
My role isn’t to tell athletes what to do, but to help them find their own solutions, build belief in their abilities, and strengthen the habits that drive sustainable performance. The aim is always to support long-term success — on and off the pitch.
Providing bespoke mentoring sport to coaches in grassroots, community or disability sports and football
Coaching can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also feel challenging and isolating at times — especially in grassroots, community, or disability football, where support networks aren’t always in place. My mentoring aims to fill that gap.
I offer a person-centred approach, providing coaches with time, space, and genuine support to reflect on their practice, build confidence, and grow their knowledge. Every conversation is about the individual — listening first, understanding their environment, and helping them find practical ways to develop their skills and confidence.
Mentoring focuses on best practice, player development, and inclusive coaching, helping coaches strengthen their understanding of how to get the best out of themselves and their players. It’s about encouraging self-belief, reflective thinking, and a mindset of continuous improvement — all within a supportive and positive environment.
Whether a coach is just starting out or looking to refine their approach, my aim is to help them feel empowered, confident, and equipped to make a lasting impact on their players and community.
