My practicing career has been in general practice. I have owed multiple practices, converted from NHS to private and was able to build my ideal award-winning practice and team, before eventually selling to a like-minded person.  Recently I have gained qualifications in coaching and mentoring, been a business mentor in different sectors and trained as a helpline volunteer. 

I fully understand the pressures of a career in dentistry, how lonely and overwhelming running a dental practice can be at times.  Shouldering the responsibility for staff, associates, patient care and family, coupled with the need to make a profit and meet all the regulatory standards, can inflict tremendous mental and physical strain. 

I certainly benefitted from working with different mentors during my career development and appreciate the opportunity to help my clients avoid or learn from any mistakes. I aim to provide support and empathy -  it is so important at the end of a career to feel that it was worthwhile and satisfying.
