I have been working in people development for decades, initially as a modern linguist and tennis coach, in both state and private schools. I then founded Esteem workshops, leading a team of volunteers to design and deliver workshops with pupils in years 6-13 on topics such as Building self-esteem and How to form healthy friendships and relationships.

Following that I completed 5 years of counselling training, including a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, Specialist Trauma training, Level 1 Theraplay training and a Foundation year in Transactional Analysis (TA) at the Berne Institute. I am a CTA (Certified Transactional Analyst) in Education and an ICF accredited coach. I most recently qualified in coaching with Physical Intelligence, learning about working with the body. I’m currently studying NLP and neuroscience.

I now work in private practice alongside delivering online training for Functional Fluency International. I am a licensed TIFF provider. TIFF is the self-development tool which highlights people’s behavioural strengths and when they are using their energy effectively. It is excellent for both individuals and couples, leaders, parents, those in caring professions, such as teachers and health care workers but also for anyone who wants to grow in their self-awareness. I also deliver INSET training for staff teams.

In my free time I enjoy playing tennis and padel, travelling, interior design and walking in the beautiful Cotswold countryside.

I’ve particularly appreciated her attention to detail – from the homemade cakes to the interactive training materials that gets everyone on their feet and learning in different ways. As a result, my team left our session with increased knowledge, practical tools and individual application. After multiple sessions with Liz, I am still coming back for more and would highly recommend!”
