How I can help

Emma aims to support the development of kinder, wiser workplaces, with more relational leadership and people management, and improved employee health and wellbeing. Her varied professional portfolio includes teaching relational mindfulness, coaching senior managers and executives, individual and group supervision for coaches, consultancy for organisations and teams, research, writing, speaking, and public policy. She is a Registered Occupational Psychologist, an Accredited Executive Coach and a Certified Coach Supervisor. Alongside her role at Affinity Coaching and Supervision, she is Founding Director of Affinity Health at Work and a member of the Health and Safety Executive Workplace Health Expert committee. In order to have the best possible evidence-base for her work, Emma is actively involved in research; at the same time, her consultancy and coaching with a range of organisations ensures that the research is of genuine practical use in real-world settings. In 2019 she completed a Professional Doctorate, in which she conducted research exploring the use of mindfulness and relational mindfulness for leadership development. Building on this work, she has now developed a range of programmes applying relational mindfulness to support leadership development and coach development. She draws on 12 years’ previous experience working in international relations and communications.
