I have taught in some the UK’s best secondary schools (independent and maintained sectors), alongside a teaching and pastoral role for Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. This unique blend of experience means that I have a deep and wide-reaching understanding of how to support teenagers through secondary school, embedding the dispositions which lead to long-lasting success, confidence and resilience.

My books on exam stress have been endorsed by education and mental health leaders. You can get the teacher’s guide to exam stress here and the parent’s guide here.

I work with many of the UK’s leading schools, providing guidance to parents and training for teachers.
