About me

I am a public speaking coach, multi-award winning actor, teaching artist, artistic director of Edinburgh Youth Theatre and long time Scream Queen.

I have been a transformative public speaking coach for 12 years.

From coaching the most terrified talker become the most engaging, active and creative speaker to helping the seasoned speaker spruce up their speech, I truly believe that anyone can transform their public speaking skills.

My approach is all about doing rather than being, helping the speaker to remain focussed on their objective and less worried about how they are 'being'.

Having suffered from performance anxiety and tackling a speech impediment as a child, I truly understand the real fear of speaking out.

My approach, which has been informed by my 25 years plus as a successful actor, uses something called the MOTTO formula. Designed by myself and tried and tested by hundreds of satisfied clients, this approach to public speaking leaves the talker supported, safe and supplied with tools and tactics to tackle any speaking situation. 

I offer 1-1 coaching, private groups sessions and also run regular public workshops in Edinburgh. These can be online or IRL. 

I am passionate about helping others to communicate and to teach them how to remain an active, creative and engaging speaker, whilst always remaining 100% authentically you.
