About me

Journalist and PR company owner

Starting my career as a journalist brought me in contact with many different people and their views of the world.

Then I ran a busy, thriving independent consumer PR and Communications company for many years.  It taught me that one of the most rewarding things in my life was to work with, train, coach and improve my colleagues’ skills and strengths.  I helped them grow their expertise and personal attributes to be successful in whatever they choose to do.

I also experienced working with clients to develop employee relations and build teams by harnessing and understanding each individual’s strengths and potential.

“Gill was a supportive MD and encouraged an excellent work/life balance which brought out the best in her staff. She was even supportive when I chose to move on and has kept in touch and always been pleased to see her younglings grow in the world.” JL London

Horse rider and competitor

As a keen horse rider and competitor I’m passionate about riding and working with horses.  I have studied and use Positive Horsemanship to help develop trust and improve confidence through positive thinking between horse and rider.

I’ve learnt how to watch and listen and learn from horses, enjoy the trust they have in us and appreciate what they will do for us if we ask them to work with us in the right way.

And when we are on this journey we learn a great deal about ourselves and our relationships too.

“Gill is a first class operator. An excellent manager, efficient and well organised and a top rate professional. A great people person she is good company and, importantly, loves horses!” GG Sussex

Why ‘Change as good as a rest’?

I believe there is a lot of truth in the proverb “change is as good as a rest”.I decided that was exactly what I needed and that’s why I’m now working with clients to help them to change.

As a qualified Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Time Line Therapy™ and Hypnosis coach, I created Change as Good as a Rest, a professional coaching company.

Bringing change to my clients’ lives with integrity, fun and commitment, I help clients reach their full potential and create what they want in whatever aspect of their lives they choose – and they do it quickly.

Break free, realise your potential
