I am a coach(PCC), author and activist.
My vision is to connect others with what matters to them and all the possibilities available, what they want and can do, and how to anchor that right back to what matters.
I work mainly with neurodivergent people, and especially those who are Autistic ADHDers, and climate / nature activists. I am also an ally for those in the LGBTQ+ community.
I do this because of my experience as a parent of a young adult with diagnoses for Autism and ADHD, my own late in life realisation that I too am Autistic and an ADHDer, and witnessing others’ experiences at work and in the people that I coach. And because I care about and am locally active in making a positive difference for our environment.
I founded RiverRhee in 2009 after spending 25+ years in the Pharmaceutical Industry as a line manager and internal trainer, facilitator and business change programme manager.
I am a qualified coach, with a Post Graduate certificate from Barefoot Coaching and the University of Chester. I am accredited with the International Coaching Federation to PCC level (Professional Certified Coach) and have completed training with Climate Change Coaching. I have also completed Gold Mind Academy’s ICF accredited training qualifying me as an ADHD Specialist Coach.
Becoming a coach involves an enormous amount of self-development, and this is an on-going processs. My book “Coaching in the Helix. How self-development impacts the quality of our coaching.” is a reflection of the journey I am on, with insights that I hope will support other coaches in their journeys.
I help my clients understand themselves, develop their self-awareness, lean into their strengths and develop strategies for their challenges. We focus on such things as interpersonal and communication skills and executive functions such as self-organisation, and dealing with change.
I deliver awareness seminars on Neurodiversity as well as coaching neurodivergent individuals and their managers.
My group coaching style workshops on climate and nature action give people a safe and supportive space to explore how they are feeling and what they would like to do in relation to the nature and climate crisis. I provide one-to-one coaching in this area too..
