My Approach
Coaching works best when there is genuine commitment and the right connection between the people in the room. My role is to think alongside you with honesty, perspective and no agenda for what you decide.
Our initial consultation is complimentary and lasts up to two hours. It is a relaxed, unhurried conversation to explore what is on your mind, see whether we are the right fit, and give you space to ask anything you want to before making any decision. No obligation and no sales pitch.
How I Work
One client described me as "a wise owl on one shoulder and a sounding board on the other." That captures it well. I am not here to tell you what to do. I am here to help you think more clearly about what you already know, surface what has not quite been named yet, and agree what is worth addressing first.
We start with where you are now and what feels most important, professionally, personally or both. From there the work goes beneath the presenting question — because in my experience the question someone arrives with is rarely the real one. What sits underneath it is usually more interesting and more useful to address.
There is no fixed structure imposed on the work. The pace, the focus and the approach are shaped around you, your situation and how you think best. Some clients want to move quickly and decisively. Others need more space to think things through. Both are fine. The work follows you, not the other way around.
Sessions last 90 minutes. I am London-based and work with clients across the UK and internationally, accommodating time zones and staying accessible between sessions.
