​Coaching is a collaboration for transformation in your life and work
It is an investment in yourself or in your team. As a commitment to change it is a collaborative and future-focused partnership between you, and me as your coach. Together we will explore your situation and gain new perspectives in a confidential and supportive space to help you get unstuck, make changes and reach your best outcome.
​
I use coaching as the ICF defines it (below) in much of my work. In some of my business coaching and workshops I combine coaching skills along with mentoring and design-thinking, problem-solving approaches. The exact mix is always unique and tailored to you as the client, your situation, and your working style.
​
"ICF defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. The process of coaching often unlocks previously untapped sources of imagination, productivity and leadership."
​
Design thinking is a human-centred approach to innovation problem solving and product development. It is both creative and practical and delivers great results because it always has the customer/user at the heart of new development. Creative problem solving at its best
I do not believe in a ‘one size fits all’ approach to personal and business development. I have found the key for real lasting results is to be client focused working with you from exactly where you are, helping you maximise your own strengths, skills and resources.
​
I’m not the ‘expert’ on your life, there to tell you what to do! My role is to help facilitate time and space for you to do great, impactful thinking, decision making and planning. I believe you are creative, resourceful, and whole and that it is my role to help you access all that good stuff!
I love the description of a coach as a ‘thought disruptor’! As your coach I will listen (really listen!), ask questions to help you think deeper and explore further, sometimes challenge you and sometimes share reflections or options.
Depending on what we are working on I may use exercises to help us break into new ways of thinking and exploring.
I might also use tools such as online whiteboards to capture ideas we create or plans of action for you to make.
​
I bring my energy and enthusiasm to coaching. My attitude is to stay curious and always be learning. If I get to the end of the day and I've helped someone get closer to their goal, then it’s been a successful day for me!

When, where, what...
Coaching sessions and workshops are available 9am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday. Limited weekend appointments are available in special circumstances.
Coaching sessions are generally held online over Zoom. I find this makes scheduling appointments easier for clients and their busy diaries. I can also do face-to-face sessions for those based in London depending on timing and exact location.
Workshops — I’m happy to travel up to 2 hours from London for in-person workshops or training. I also frequently do workshops online which works well for hybrid, remote and busy teams.
Do you have a question that I’ve not covered here? Great! I’d love to hear from you!
Contact me for anything further you’d like to know...
The first step on our coaching journey is a free introductory session together. This zoom call is a chance for you to ask all the questions you have and for me to understand what’s happening with you.
There’s not any hard sell or pressure from me – that’s not my style! It’s important to find out if I’m the right person to help you and if we can work well together. If it turns out we aren’t right to work together, no problem, other coaches are available! If I can I’ll help you find a different coach that’s better suited, I will.
