About me
Expert in Career, Relationship and Wellbeing coaching, and published author.
I'm a fully qualified coach and a Member of the Association for Coaching.
I work within their code of ethics, which includes full confidentiality and treating you with respect.
I've coached for fifteen years and have considerable experience in teaching and mentoring.
I coach clients in Hertfordshire but also across the UK and internationally, remotely.
How did I come to coaching? I've been working with people helping them achieve their potential for my entire career.
First, as an English teacher for many years, starting that career with a move south from my native north-east.
I taught in independent and state sectors, in boarding and day schools, and I also taught adults for many years.
Much of this involved coaching and motivating, particularly when teaching A-level and GCSE.
And, I was helping people choose careers, make decisions, enabling them to grow their confidence and reach personal goals.
I also became aware of how emotional and physical wellbeing is important as the foundation for a happy life.
After many years as a teacher, I trained as a coach. At the same time, I wrote two books -self-help for parents and students.
This launched my career as a writer, focusing on careers, education, family and wellbeing.
I have written for all the broadsheets and many other publications and websites.
You can see some of it here www.glyniskozmajournalist.co.uk
Now, I combine coaching with mentoring writers.
Training and experience
Away from work
I enjoy spending time with my two adult children, walking to keep fit, writing my first novel, and listening to everything on Radio 4.

The coaching I received from Glynis allowed me to review my current situation, take stock and consider the options. Then, to open my eyes to a clear way forward when previously I was muddled and indecisive. RB, Herts |
Running the same business for over 20 years, I needed to step back and make some difficult decisions about my next career steps. Glynis was able to coach me through this.. AL, Herts |
"Having reached a point where I was able to consider a life change I realised that I didn't know how to go about it. Glynis helped me develop a strategy for identifying what areas I could realistically consider. I now feel I have solid direction. AS Herts |
