Who is Gemma - I'm a lover of life, but in my work and approach I'm a qualified and psychological coach/mentor.  Passionate about mental health awareness, overcoming adversity and coaching and mentoring.


My experience is formed from 24 years working across sectors such as education, social care, retail and community sectors. I have held middle leadership positions in most sectors. My IPI improvement and 4As pillars of change framework was fostered from experience, both personally and professionally.

My own crossroads led me to the question we all avoid. Keep going, or question the impact my experiences have had on me. I chose the latter and while I can say it was not easy, it was worth it. As humans, we have free will and if we want better and different we have to learn new things and implement them.

Reaching 40 there is so much I could speak about that I would do different but for now, I will say the reason you stopped by keep going.

Life was never easy - I tried to end it at 12! Adversities were a part of my early childhood and not understanding the impact almost cost me the best gift which is life. At 32, Little Gem connected to Big Gem, the best decision I ever made. Building tools and concepts to guide my life is where change came. Often we think we can reach our full potential alone, but that is the very thing that keeps us stuck.

THE STORY SO FAR

Often referred to as a mentor because of the relationships that I build, which started at the age of 15. My sociology teacher noticed I got in with everyone and felt I could support a student in year 9. My aim was about connecting him to the goals he identified and breaking it down in how that looked. Since then, I have supported a wide range of people using mentoring, coaching as well as therapeutic approaches.

Psychological Athlete Mentoring

Sometimes as a professional athlete it can be difficult juggling the world expectations as well as your own life circumstances. As an athlete trust is not always a given, all our sessions will be confidential. I use a mix blend of approaches to give you a space to offload, process and stay focussed on the goals you have yourself. The aim is to support you in maintaining your mental agility, as well as not get lost in the culture that is demanding and full of expectations through nothing but opinions.

Executive coach

Working with professionals mainly from middle executive level. I am not here to judge but challenge you to think outside your lens for you to build healthier teams and efficient work practices. At a base level, connecting to professional values and standards should be the foundation of any change.
