In 2025 I was awarded Best Roundtable Presentation by the British Psychological Society’s Division of Coaching Psychology.

The award was given for a roundtable discussion exploring how coaching psychology can be used to challenge systemic ableism and promote greater inclusion.

Receiving this recognition means a great deal to me because it reflects a topic that sits at the heart of my work. Throughout my career, I have been passionate about understanding how individuals are shaped by the systems, cultures, and environments around them, and how coaching psychology can contribute not only to personal growth but also to wider social change.

Much of my work has focused on neuro differences, inclusion, social justice, and creating spaces where people can thrive without feeling pressured to conform to norms that were never designed with them in mind. To see these conversations gaining traction within the profession is both encouraging and hopeful.

I am incredibly grateful to everyone who participated in the discussion, shared their perspectives, and helped create such a rich and thoughtful conversation. This award is a reminder of the power of collective dialogue and the importance of continuing to challenge assumptions, question inequities, and imagine more inclusive futures.

Thank you to the British Psychological Society Division of Coaching Psychology for this recognition. I look forward to continuing these conversations and contributing to a profession that is increasingly engaging with the wider social and systemic issues that affect people’s lives.
