Working extensively in the video, TV and film industry and running her own production company has given her invaluable insight into the issues facing women in the industry today from struggling with
issues around sexism, maintaining a work/life balance, overcoming feelings of guilt returning to work, starting or running a business and improving health and fitness. Having worked with creative
people both in the profession and as a counsellor and coach, she has helped and supported artists explore ways in which they can better flourish in their industry; overcoming fear of rejection, stage
fright, improving health and personal body image, learning to quiet negative self-talk and to grow in personal power and confidence.
