Meet The Team

Hi there, thanks for taking an interest in our business and in me personally!

I’m the the Co-Founder of IntraQuest and Director of Learning Services, with over 20 years experience as a therapist and leader. I'm a Cognitive Behaviour Therapist, life coach and trainer and I'm also qualified to teach yoga. Most recently I stepped into the world of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, which has supported me to bring a more holistic approach to my practice by involving the body directly in trauma work. 

I have a deep respect for life and a passion to support people to unlock the transformative power of self-love. My own journey has been a colourful one, the darker times have given me as much as the more positive experiences, and I believe that in order to fully appreciate the light we must also embrace the shadows!  My desire is that every person I work with appreciates themselves more deeply and feels empowered to live, work and play in more balanced and fulfilling ways. 

Before IntraQuest I spent many years working as a substance intervention worker and as a senior residential care worker supporting young people and families experiencing a range of difficulties. During this time, I came to value the hard work and dedication that front-line practitioners invest, and my passion to support these professionals grew. My work is now mainly focussed on supporting leaders in challenging environments (through supervision, coaching and training) and I facilitate personal growth and professional  development with equal enthusiasm (the two are not mutually exclusive). 

As a business owner I understand the need for good emotional self-care, and I have found joy in the simple things in life. I love quiet space (when I can get it) to just sit and think, yoga, meditation and spiritual practices that still my busy mind and bring me to a more centred state, occasional walks - when it’s not raining (tricky in Oldham), good coffee and road trips with my nearest and dearest.  

That’s a little about me. If you’d like to get in touch, head over to our contact page and drop me an email.

Trained in Person-Centred Counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (for trauma themes), MBTI life coaching, Supervision, Animal Assisted Therapy & Yoga.
