COACHING & MENTORING
How we can work together
Every client is different. Here’s what I offer, how it works, and how we’ll shape it around what you actually need
WHAT I OFFER
Two distinct ways of working
Coaching and mentoring are different things — and knowing which you need is a good place to start. Many clients find they want elements of both, and that’s fine too.
Coaching
A dedicated space to explore what’s shaping how you lead. I don’t give answers — I ask the questions that help you find your own, more clearly and with greater confidence.
WHAT TO EXPECT
- Sessions of 60 minutes, typically fortnightly or monthly though we’ll find a rhythm that suits you
- Conducted on video, so geography is no barrier, wherever you are in the world
- A block of sessions to start, with flexibility to continue as the work evolves
- A safe, stretching space. Warm and human, with genuine challenge when it’s needed
- Exercises and homework to help you grow
Best for: Leaders navigating complexity, transition, or a sense that something keeps repeating. For those who want depth, not just technique.
Mentoring
Drawing on my own leadership experience, I offer a practical sounding board for the real-world challenges you’re carrying — particularly in complex, high-stakes environments.
My BACKGROUND INCLUDES
- Executive leadership on one of the UK Government’s largest change programmes
- Managing annual budgets of over £150m pa – revenue, capital, forecasting and year-end
- Bid funding of £8bn and purchase-to-pay, contracts and commercial experience
- Leading recruitment, workforce planning, EDI, L&D and business continuity functions
- Negotiating with CEOs and very senior executives
Best for: Leaders who want an experienced guide on specific operational, financial, or organisational challenges. Someone who has genuinely been there..
MY APPROACH
Most coaching works on what you do. This works on why.
My coaching is grounded in psychodynamic principles. However you don’t need to know what that means to benefit from it. In plain terms, it means we pay attention to what’s underneath the surface.
Your habits, reactions, and blind spots as a leader didn’t appear from nowhere. They were shaped by experience; the roles you’ve held, the environments you’ve worked in, and the beliefs you’ve formed along the way. Most of the time they run on autopilot, quietly shaping every decision and relationship without you realising it.
When you can see those patterns clearly, you can choose something different. That’s what this work makes possible.
This is coaching, not therapy. We may explore your history where it’s relevant to your leadership today. Our focus is always on decisions, behaviours, and results in your role right now.
NEW OFFER
in your corner
Sometimes you don’t need a full session. You need a trusted, experienced voice, quickly, on a real problem, in the moment it matters.
In Your Corner is a monthly retainer that gives clients ongoing access to me via WhatsApp. Ask a quick question, share a dilemma, sense-check a decision, or get a voice note back when you need a perspective you can trust.
It’s not a substitute for deeper coaching work. It sits alongside it, for the moments between sessions when something comes up and you want a calm, knowledgeable voice in your corner.
Not a crisis service or substitute for a full coaching relationship
