Andrea Simonsson, sometimes known as Rea, is our coach. She offers two key types of coaching:
Leadership and Development Coaching
Andrea is a current headteacher and has worked closely with Surrey children and their parents for over two decades. She has supported school leaders across the Godalming and Haslemere area and works in conjunction with Winchester University to train new teachers.
Andrea has a Master Degree in Education Leadership and Management and loves to work closely with the talented leaders in the local area to enhance their skills, confidence and practice. Most recently, she has mentored a new headteacher and worked as a coach to support an aspiring deputy head through a year long leadership program.
Andrea can work with individuals or teams in schools, either here at Field End or in Surrey, Hampshire or Sussex schools.
Therapeutic Coaching
In 2020, Andrea qualified as a Neuro Linguistic Programming Practitioner, following training through Subconquest at Regents University. She has an enhanced DBS and is a member of the Coaching Academy.
Andrea has recently completed a second therapeutic qualification, in counselling children and adolescents and most recently (May 2023) completed a three day training course at Waverley Abbey, enabling her to bring a Christian dimension into coaching, if preferred.
Andrea can work with individual adults, children or family groups. She can work with children at Field End in Haslemere, or directly in school. Pupil Premium funds can be used to secure coaching sessions.
