More About Me

About Me

I  work as an MI trainer and also part-time as a dietitian in diabetes care. As a Registered Dietitan I have worked in the NHS in England for over 30 years. I  opened my own training consultancy Optimal Change in 2007 which includes both Motivational Interviewing and Nutrition & Dietetics. My clinical expertise includes diabetes, obesity, long term condition management and eating disorders. I have trained extensively in all health care settings for well over a 20 years. I also deliver trainings in other areas including substance misuse, youth offending,education and employment. I have enjoyed training MI since 2000 when I became a member of MINT . I train both in the UK as well as internationally.
I am passionate about the role of Motivational Interviewing within health and social care. I am actively involved in MINT, currently I chair the UK and Ireland MINT Chapter. Previously I served as the Events Coordinator organising MINT's annual International meeting and I served on the MINT Board of Directors for over 4 years until 2013. I was also fortunate to be a TNT trainer in Atlanta in 2014 and in Chicago in 2022.

I am a MITI coder and trainer and provide coaching in MI as well. My passion is to support individuals and organisations to utilise and be effective at using MI as an approach within their work.
