Fiona’s Background
I think my passion for helping people achieve their potential is because I know from personal experience that it is never too late to learn or change. I left school at 16 and I didn't study for my degrees until my late forties.
Not having a degree didn't stop me working as a freelance writer, volunteering in development projects in India, being part of a co-operative running a conference centre or living in a development institute in southern Sudan.
Appropriately qualified, I had my own stress management practice, taught staff and patients in hospitals and hospices and helped establish and run a respite centre for carers in Tuscany.
I ran inner-city women's health projects and worked with older people on reminiscence projects. I gained my teaching qualifications and degrees and wrote and facilitated personal development courses for colleges and other organisations. When I managed a mental health project I was awarded a Winston Churchill Fellowship to research US mental health services.
Managing adult learning courses in Devon and Oxfordshire was extremely rewarding but I decided to focus on coaching in 2007. Since then I have also trained as a funeral celebrant with the British Humanist Association.
I feel that my life experience and training have ideally equipped me to coach people looking for a positive outcome to the changes they are dealing with in their lives.
