My Background in Health Coaching

 I have always had an interest in health, wellbeing, and healthy lifestyles. At 18 when I started my degree in psychology and sports-science I planned on being a sports psychologist, but my growing interest in health psychology throughout my course, changed my plans. After completing my Masters and PhD in health psychology, I went into the world of academic health research, which I have been involved in for over 15 years. I have 19 academic peer-reviewed published articles and have secured over £300k of research grant money.  My research work has mainly focused on Cardiovascular disease prevention, especially on high blood pressure and stroke prevention.​ Over the years as my interest in behaviour change grew, I was frustrated how often changes in behaviour were not sustainable in the long term.
