I was perplexed about the lack of support out there for vulnerable people such as myself. Especially at such a critical period in life, when you need an anchor for support and a map to guide you along a healthy path. I wanted to help others, so that people would not have to suffer as badly as I did. To make the suffering far shorter and a lot more bearable because of an achievable goal and an understanding heart.

Alongside my day job of teaching at a prestigious London secondary school, I trained to become a relationship coach, accredited by the ICF and the Salus academy. The Blue Ticks was created as a result in 2018, named after the ubiquitous twin ticks in the corner of every Whatsapp message you send, indicating that your message has been delivered to and read by the recipient. Those two little ticks that can generate a wealth of emotions, both positive and negative, from anxiety to unbridled joy, from impatience to hope and can act as beacons of light to the blossoming of an exciting new relationship.

Over the past few years I have supported hundreds of people across all demographics. I have helped both men and women of all ages, from students to experienced professionals including accountants, physiotherapists, financial advisors and lawyers to name a few. I have written an eBook and spoken about the importance of healthy relationships in schools, corporate settings including the banking world and at local community events.
