"Nothing beats kindness," said the horse. "It sits quietly beyond all things."

Charlie Mackesy: The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse

I'm a BTEC Creative Media and MYP Design teacher, a qualified coach, and someone with a deep love of helping people work things out — whether that's in a classroom, a coaching conversation, a workshop, or a yoga class. I work with children and adults alike, supporting people with whatever life puts in front of them. This site is my honest attempt to share what I've learned, in the hope that some of it is useful to you too.

My thought-process:

Creative Media: My teaching and personal experience comes from photography, sound editing and video creation. I want to share some of my resources and my own creative joy!

Musings:

These are blog posts from my journey through Coetail, The Coach, Yoga training and much more besides. 2026 will see a return to posting. I know that it helps me formulate ideas and plans, so I need to keep using this space.

Coaching:

This is my Jam. This is something that I love doing. Working with people and being involved in their journey gives me so much joy and I love watching how their “light bulbs” burn bright when they reach a conclusion to a problem that has been bothering them.

Mindfulness: Having completed the 200hrs of yoga and worked on breathing strategies and meditation with students, I wanted to share some of my thoughts and document some of the success’ and failures

Teaching & Learning:

I want to collate some of the material that I have been working on as a teacher beyond my work in the classroom. I have too much to share everything, so I am looking at sharing resources where I saw a win!
