Early Career
I started my working life as a Psychologist having completed my training in both the UK and the United States. In particular, I specialised in Occupational Psychology, Industrial and Organisational Psychology, Applied Psychology, Cognitive Psychology and Social Psychology.
I additionally hold current post-qualification accreditations in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and Acceptance-Commitment Therapy. I am a member of the British Psychological Society and the American Psychological Association.
I worked initially as a Psychologist for HM Prison Service with maximum security prisoners. An excellent, magnified training ground for learning about all aspects of behaviour, interactions, communication and influence.
I subsequently attained a place on the Accelerated Promotion Scheme for Senior Managers for HM Government. I worked primarily in HM Prison Service, in some of the most challenging and high-security prisons in the country and with some of the most high-profile and difficult prisoners – and staff. If ever there was a steep and invaluable learning curve for developing exceptional leadership, team building, management, conflict resolution and professional survival skills that was it!

Mary’s favourite single item sale for a client – a dressage horse who dances to music and lights…
The time to solve one client’s impossible problem – no magic, just cross-industry pollination of solutions

Professional Experience
I was later awarded a training contract with a Magic Circle law firm, and completed my legal training in London and Oxford, subsequently working as a Corporate Lawyer for Clifford Chance LLP. I am a qualified Corporate Lawyer, trained Arbitrator and Member of the Law Society. I specialised in Corporate Structure, Finance, Business Growth, Operations and Mergers & Acquisitions.
Over the past 20+ years I have spearheaded numerous successful start-ups and developed, operated and sold multiple private businesses. I have been involved in single person enterprises, partnerships, family businesses, multiple team structures, and everything in between and up to some of the very largest and most successful of international corporations and Fortune 500 companies.
I have helped all types of businesses in a variety of industries ranging from start-ups desperately struggling to get going whilst drowning in cash-flow problems through to businesses achieving multi-million annual profits with room to spare for greater growth.
I am an accredited Coaching for Performance coach as well as being accredited by the Worldwide Association of Business Coaches.
‘Mary’s energy and no-nonsense approach have been transformative…The financial benefits of our working together have been pleasing to say the least. However, the real payoff is the different perspectives, extra time and clarity of purpose I now have. They are invaluable to me.’
