Coaching
Whether you’re stepping onto a stage for the first time, preparing for drama school auditions, or refining your craft for professional work, my coaching is designed to meet you where you are — and take you further than you thought possible. I combine over 15 years’ directing, dramaturgy, and teaching experience with a deep respect for each performer’s unique voice. My approach is rigorous yet supportive, blending industry‑standard techniques with creative exploration, so you leave every session with practical tools, sharper instincts, and renewed confidence.
My Coaching Ethos
People before Plays
I believe in nurturing the artist as much as the art.
High standards. Human approach
I’ll push you to deliver your best, but never at the expense of your wellbeing.
Tailored to you
Every session is shaped around your goals, strengths, and challenges.
Practical and applicable
You’ll leave with tools you can use immediately in rehearsal, performance, or auditions.
Creative problem‑solving
If there’s a barrier, we’ll find an innovative way through it.

Stage Craft @ Adult Acting Classes
My flagship adult acting classes, based in Colchester & ipswich. These weekly sessions are designed for adults of all experience levels who want to develop their craft in a safe, high‑quality, and creatively challenging space. We work on a mix of classic and contemporary texts, improvisation, and devised work, with a strong emphasis on ensemble, technique, and personal growth. Many participants go on to audition for productions, create their own work, or simply enjoy the confidence and connection that comes from regular, rigorous training.
