executive coaching
UNLOCKING POTENTIAL, BUILDING CONFIDENCE
Why use executive coaching?
Coaching helps leaders pause, reflect, and move forward with clarity. It’s a practical and powerful tool – especially in today’s fast-paced, high-pressure environments.
Through structured conversation, incisive questioning and skilled facilitation, coaching helps people unlock their potential, build confidence, and take meaningful action. Whether it’s navigating change, stepping into leadership, or simply wanting to do things differently, coaching creates space to think and grow.
Common coaching themes
Every coaching relationship is different, but some of the areas I often support leaders with include:
- Navigating transitions – promotions, role changes or restructures
- Defining and living a unique leadership brand
- Clarifying goals and creating action plans
- Building confidence and resilience
- Increasing job and life satisfaction
- Finding balance and protecting energy
- Leading effectively under pressure
Why invest in coaching?
Coaching delivers real impact. According to the International Coaching Federation:
- 80% of people report increased self-confidence
- Over 70% improve their work performance, relationships and communication
- 86% of companies say they recoup their investment – or more

My approach to coaching
Bespoke, evidence-based, and always focused on you
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to coaching – and that’s exactly the point. I draw from a wide range of psychology-based techniques, including person-centred, systems, Gestalt, behavioural and cognitive models, to shape a coaching experience that’s tailored to each individual.
Sessions are focused on your goals, your leadership context, and your growth. Whether you’re stepping into something new or navigating something complex, we’ll work together to build clarity, confidence, and meaningful change.
Most coaching relationships take place over 6–9 months, allowing time for deep reflection and sustained progress. You can see my recent testimonials on LinkedIn – or if you’d like to discuss what might work best for your situation, just get in touch.
My coaching experience
Credible, compassionate, and grounded in real-world leadership
My interest in coaching began with my Philosophy degree, where I specialised in Plato’s Socratic Dialogues – one of the earliest examples of using powerful questions to create insight and change. That early curiosity has stayed with me throughout my 20+ years in HR and talent development, where I’ve used coaching to support leaders through all kinds of complex and challenging situations.
Today, I coach a diverse range of executives across sectors including professional services, retail, tech, not-for-profit and the public sector. I’m particularly passionate about working with high-potential individuals stepping into their first major leadership roles – often while managing significant responsibilities outside of work. Supporting them to grow, build confidence, and access their own resources feels like a real privilege.
I also coach HR professionals – a specialist area that can be uniquely demanding and isolating. Having been there myself, I bring a deep understanding of the challenges and the support that makes a difference.
I hold a Professional Certificate in Executive Coaching from Henley Business School and am ACC-accredited by the International Coaching Federation.
