——— Questions

Great question – you’re right to be discerning about who you work with.

I’m an accredited executive and leadership coach, consultant and thought partner who works with

high-performing executives, senior directors and elite founders. My clients value my ability to

get to the root of what’s really going on (which is often not what they first thought), and my

creativity in helping them find practical solutions and new ways of thinking that inspire real

change.

I bring almost three decades of hands-on experience across executive-level strategic HR

partnering, operations and recruitment, as well as leading, setting up and developing my own

business and mentoring others to do the same. I know what “good” looks like in your people and

your business – and I understand the realities of delivering results in complex, fast-paced

environments.

I also know first-hand what it is to juggle a big life – running a home, raising two energetic

boys and a mad dog, navigating redundancy and moving through breast cancer. My clients tell me

this lived experience adds depth, perspective and humanity to our work together.

In our conversations you get a combination of warmth and straight talking: I’m grounded,

optimistic, down to earth and honest – and I won’t shy away from asking the questions that need

to be asked. If you’re looking for a trusted, accredited coach and confidante who can help you

see yourself clearly, think differently and take meaningful action, we’re likely to be a good

fit.

The coaching and consulting industry is huge. You’ll find people charging £50 for a session and

others charging £10,000+.

Before you look at price, I’d really encourage you to look first at compatibility and alignment

with your own values.

• Look for someone who has experience helping with the kind of challenges you’re facing. • Look

for someone you feel you could genuinely work with and be honest with. • Stalk them a little –

read their content, look for social proof and testimonials. • THEN get clear on how big yourproblem or opportunity is and how much you’re willing to invest to address it.

In terms of my fees (as a guide):

• One-off executive coaching session: from £500 • Ongoing 1:1 retainer: from £700 per month •

Six-month executive coaching packages: from £6,000

For organisationally sponsored work (e.g. multiple leaders, team programmes, bespoke

interventions), fees are scoped based on your specific needs, scale and outcomes.

I take great pride in the fact that the vast majority of my clients recommend my services. Many

continue to work with me over time or come back when they reach their next pivotal moment and

want a trusted thinking partner alongside them again.

I like to keep things simple.

1. Start with the enquiry form. The easiest way to begin is to complete the short enquiry form

on my Work With Me page. Share a little about who you are (employed executive or founder), your

role or business, and what you’d most like support with right now.

2. I’ll review and respond. I personally review each enquiry. If I believe I can genuinely

help, either I or someone in my team will be in touch with next steps and a suggestion for an

initial conversation. If I’m not the right person, I’ll let you know and, where possible, point

you in a more suitable direction.

3. Chemistry call. We’ll then have a chemistry call to explore your goals, your context and

what you’re looking for in a coach. This is a chance for both of us to see whether we’re a good

fit and to ask any questions you may have.

4. Proposal and agreement. If we decide to work together, I’ll outline a proposed approach (for

example, a six-month package or retainer), including structure, focus areas and fees. Once

we’re agreed, we’ll get dates in the diary and begin.

If you have a quick question before you complete the form, you’re very welcome to check the

FAQs or get in touch via the contact details on the site.

My coaching process is structured but tailored – the steps are consistent, the content is

shaped around you.

1. Initial conversation We start with a no-obligation chemistry call to understand your

context, what you’re looking for, and whether we’re the right fit for each other.

2. Clarity and contracting If we decide to work together, we’ll clarify your goals, the

outcomes you want and any organisational objectives that need to be factored in. We’ll agree

the structure of our work (frequency, duration, length of engagement) and how we’ll measure

progress.

3. Three-way alignment (for organisationally sponsored coaching) When your organisation is

investing in coaching for you, I build in a 3-way conversation between you, your line manager

and me at the start, middle and end of the engagement. I facilitate these conversations to

ensure alignment on goals, expectations, support and success measures – and to create genuine

buy-in from all sides. This has been a powerful part of my work with clients and their

companies, often surfacing the real issues and unlocking better ongoing dialogue between you

and your manager.

4. Coaching sessions Our sessions are a mix of deep thinking time, challenge and practicalaction. We’ll work on what’s most live for you – high-stakes conversations, strategic

decisions, team dynamics, confidence, boundaries, self-leadership – always linking back to the

outcomes you set at the start. I’ll bring in tools and frameworks where useful (including

strengths work such as Strengthscope®), but our focus is always on what moves the needle for

you.

5. Review and next steps We’ll build in regular check-ins to review progress against your

goals. In organisational settings, this includes the 3-way review with your line manager to

ensure the impact of the coaching is visible and embedded. From there, we’ll decide together

what’s needed next – whether that’s closing the engagement, extending it, or shifting focus.

Throughout, my role is to be your trusted thinking partner – someone outside the politics of

your organisation who can help you see yourself clearly, think differently and take meaningful

action.
