coaching & mentoring
Helping you to unlock your full potential, being the best you can be in both your personal and professional journey.
What is Coaching & Mentoring?
“Coaching is the art of facilitating another person’s learning, development, well-being and performance.
Coaching raises self-awareness and identifies choices.
Through coaching, people are able to find their own solutions, develop their own skills, and change their own attitudes and behaviours.
The whole aim of coaching is to close the gap between people’s potential and their current state.”
– Jenny Rogers Coaching Skills

My Background
Passion
I’ve always been passionate about Coaching and Mentoring, whether that’s in as a volunteer or in a professional context.
Guidance
During my career, I’ve coached and mentored individuals in different contexts including Graduates in their first professional role, those struggling at work, and those who can’t see how their career will develop.
Experience
In December 2017 I set up The Mayne Consultancy and realised a life long dream to work for myself, using my skills and experience to add value to a range of clients. The Mayne Consultancy owns and runs North East Coaching and Mentoring.
Care
As a volunteer, I’ve coached at my local rugby club achieving England RFU Level 1 Coach and Referee (now retired), and I’ve been a Volunteer Mentor with SSAFA for nearly six years. This incredible military charity works with serving members of our Armed Forces, veterans and their families. Following formal training and on-going supervision, I’ve now mentored five medically discharged (Wounded, Injured or Sick) soldiers, sailors and airmen, as they transitioned out of the military and start their civilian journey. My personal development is supported by formal annual training and supervision from Regional Mentoring Co-ordinators.
Self Development
To continue my development I’ve recently undertaken a Level 5 qualification with the Institute of Leadership and Management in Coaching and Mentoring. This involved over 25 hours of supervised coaching with two different coachees. Additionally, submitting three assessments on academic theory, delivery of best coaching and mentoring practice, and personal reflection/development. Across the three papers, I averaged 95%.

Your coaching journey is typically between four and six sessions. Mentoring may take place over a longer time frame depending upon your needs.

There’s no set rule for the frequency of your session, life can be busy so it could be weekly, bi-weekly (the most common) or even longer between sessions
