Question 1

Who do you coach?

Accepted Answer

I coach professionals and leaders who want support with confidence, resilience and balance, so they can take the driving seat in their own life. Many are managers, senior leaders or business owners who are stepping up, taking on a new role, or are questioning whether they're good enough for the job they already have. Clients often relate to the feeling of second-guessing their decisions, and noticing they've been so busy getting where they are that they've never really worked out what they want.

Question 2

Are you a life coach or a leadership coach?

Accepted Answer

Both. I'm an ICF-accredited coach. Most of my clients come to me about work: leading well, ensuring success feels sustainable, making decisions with confidence and switching off properly. Because work and life affect each other, we look at both.

Question 3

What can coaching help me with?

Accepted Answer

Coaching with me helps you trust your own judgement, make decisions without going round in circles, and work out what you actually want, often for the first time, in your career and in your life. It’s about bringing a new perspective and creating long-lasting change so you can thrive in life and get the most out of each day.

Question 4

What qualifications do you have?

Accepted Answer

Choosing a coach can be confusing, because anyone can use the title. That's why I chose ICF-accredited training and hold the Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential from the International Coaching Federation (ICF), the leading professional body for coaches worldwide. It means my coaching has been independently assessed and I follow the ICF Code of Ethics. I'm also a Master NLP Practitioner and a trained group facilitator. I'm a holistic health coach (Ayurveda) too, which brings another dimension to the way I work with the whole person. I spent 12 years in the corporate world, six of them in leadership roles, including at Carlsberg Britvic, and I'm now CMO of a tech start-up. So I know the pressure my clients are under because I work under it too.

Question 5

What happens in coaching & how much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

We start with a free 15-minute call to see whether coaching is right for you. If it is, you can book a block of six sessions at £115 each or a one-off session for £130. Each session is 55 minutes and takes place online. Alongside the coaching, I may bring in some practical nervous system tools, depending on what you need.

Question 6

How is coaching different from therapy?

Accepted Answer

Therapy often focuses on healing the past and supports people with mental health conditions. Coaching looks forward: where you are now, where you want to be, and what will get you there. If something comes up that a therapist would help with more, I'll tell you and encourage you to get that support.
