Welcome to Alive to Change
Welcome - and thank you for visiting my website. If you've been drawn here through curiousity, I hope you enjoy exploring these pages. If you're really wanting something to change in your life - then you're in the right place. I can help you with change.
Change - even positive change - is not always easy, and sometimes we need outside help to enable us to explore and manage change successfully. A Coach is a person who can help you to change and can help you through change.
I work with people in all kinds of situations, for example
* Relocation (before, during and after - sometimes a long time after!) * Workplace (promotion, redundancy, change in role, personal development, stress) * Parenting (becoming a parent, balance, enjoying being Mum, skills development) * Relationships (breakdown of relationship, loss, shift, building new support network) * Establishing new business (motivation, self management, early milestones)
Please take your time to enjoy my site and its free resources, and just get in touch if you would like to book a free exploratory consultation, want to sign up for free newsletters or need further information from me. You can call me on or - or email me through the above link.
So - what do I do for you as your Coach? I help you change. I help you change your life.
Does something need to change in your life?
How does your life feel right now? What, if anything, would you like to be different about it?
Perhaps you want
To be happier where you are, more at home and settled
To experience a better balance in your life
To enjoy your life more
To feel more confident and comfortable in your role – at work or as a parent
To be fit and healthy
To feel fulfilled and a sense of purpose
To be more organized, more on top of things
To cope with changes that are “happening to you”
Or perhaps you want something else that is not real for you right now.
If you can answer yes to any of the above, you’re in the right place, because, as a Life Coach, I help you change.
I don’t try to guess what you want in your life, or tell you what your life should be like, and I certainly don’t tell you what to do and how to do it.
But I do work with you to find out where you are right now, and where you really want to be.
I work with you to enable you to see things more clearly.
I work with you to help you access your own resources, skills and ideas.
I work with you to develop your own unique action plan that moves your life forward at a pace that feels right for you.
I keep you on track, and provide feedback, support and encouragement along the way, as long as you need me to.
If you need something to change in your life, your first step is easy – just contact me to arrange your free exploratory session.
If you are not ready to explore coaching just yet, but are interested in Life after Relocation or Parenting Abroad, please sign up to my mailing list to receive free regular newsletters on these topics.
Committing to a programme of Coaching is a step forward that can change your life. Your life is well worth this investment - and so are you.
I look forward to hearing from you!

Your Coach
I am a qualified and experienced Coach, with a background in people development and change management.
I love seeing how coaching can transform people's lives - their experience of and approach to change, their vision of the future, their levels of energy and their ability to enjoy their everyday life.
I was coached myself before moving out to France in January 2006, and found that it enabled me to quickly settle in here and make the most of my new life.
Workplace Coaching: I work with people who want to improve their performance in the workplace - or want to enjoy their work more.
Impacts of Relocation: As well as coaching many people who have moved abroad, I have researched the impacts of relocation on the individual, written articles and developed workshops to explore these with people who have relocated.
Parenting Abroad: I often work with Mums (and sometimes Dads) who have the opportunity of raising their family abroad and want to explore parenting challenges and issues. Common parenting skills are explored too in both workshop and 1-1 environments.
Relationships: Many people I work with want help dealing with their relationships, especially in a cross-cultural situation. We explore communication, interpersonal skills and develop strategies to improve confidence in building and sustaining relationships. I also work with people whose relationship has broken down and who are looking towards building a new life for themselves.
New Coaching Programmes: As well as offering regular coaching sessions on the phone or face to face (Basel area), I have introduced three new programmes:
