Established in 1998, Maundy Relief offers a range of services including food, accommodation, mental and physical health services and benefit advice. Our intention is to bring about sustainable change to those experiencing social exclusion, financial hardship and ill health, and also to support those individuals who lead chaotic and chronically unstable lives, for whom radical change in lifestyle is not currently possible. Our approach is informal and we call the people using our services our guests, and aim to treat them as such.
Leading the project to implement a Psychosocial Pathway for cancer patients across LTHTR and UHMB, a service funded by Macmillan Cancer Support that provides vital psychological care for people living with and beyond cancer. The pathway offers tailored, compassionate support to individuals at every stage of their cancer journey — from diagnosis, through treatment, and into survivorship or palliative care. It recognises that cancer affects not just the body, but every aspect of a person’s life: their emotional wellbeing, relationships, identity, and sense of control. By integrating psychological care into the wider cancer pathway, we aim to reduce distress, promote resilience, and support people to live as well as possible, for as long as possible.
Executive Director Coaching & Mentoring Executive Leadership Coach | Board-Level Mentor | Supporting Executive Directors and Senior Leaders to Lead With Influence, Clarity & Confidence I specialise in coaching Executive Directors and senior system leaders who are navigating the complexities, pressures, and visibility that come with leading modern organisations. Drawing on 35+ years of senior leadership experience across the NHS — including governance, strategy, transformation and culture improvement — I support leaders to think strategically, communicate with influence, strengthen executive presence, and lead with clarity, emotional intelligence, and resilience. I work with leaders who want to: ⚪ Strengthen impact at Board and system level ⚪ Navigate organisational politics with confidence and integrity ⚪ Lead through uncertainty, scrutiny and change ⚪ Build psychologically safe, high-performing teams ⚪ Develop a leadership identity that is trusted and authentic ⚪ Balance delivery, innovation, and personal wellbeing My coaching style blends strategic insight, reflective challenge, and a supportive partnership — empowering leaders to uncover blind spots, sharpen decision-making, and unlock the confidence to show up as the leader they aspire to be. Whether stepping into an Executive Director role, transitioning between sectors, or seeking to strengthen leadership impact, I help leaders create clarity of direction, confidence in communication, and the mindset to thrive, not just perform. If you are an executive ready to explore your next chapter, leadership impact or strategic influence — I’d welcome a conversation.
