Programme Lead - ILM Level 5 Certificate in Coaching and Mentoring

I regularly mentor and supervise doctoral and masters students who conduct coaching research at the International Centre for Coaching and Mentoring Studies at the Oxford Brookes university.

I am interested in measuring the impact of coaching on wellbeing, resilience, goal attainment and stress through RCT studies. I am also researching the impact of Artificial Intelligence coaching on goal attainment, wellbeing, resilience, stress and perceived social support.  The other area of my research interest is the role and effectiveness of career coaching in increasing students' self-efficacy, outcome expectations and employability efforts.I have recently started exploring trauma-informed coaching.
My knowledge exchange areas involve leadership training, resilience coaching workshops for students and developing coaching skills in students.

In 2017 I received a research grant from the Institute of Coaching at McLean Hospital/Harvard Medical School. I have presented my research at many conferences, including Harvard and MIT. Winner of the Best (co-authored) Article Award' in the Coaching at Work 2020 Editor's Awards.
