My Coaching Philosophy

My coaching philosophy centres on the power of the conversation. I coach for transformation not information. I offer high challenge with high support. The coaching relationship is a solutions focussed partnership, based on increasing a client's self awareness, inner confidence and optimum performance at work.

I draw on Positive Psychology, Existential Coaching techniques, Empowerment models and Psychoanalytic Systems thinking. Clients are encouraged to hold themselves accountable for their learning and actions.

Some clients are quick to experiment with new ideas or approaches. Others choose to explore an uncomfortable or challenging situation for longer, in order to understand the deeper layers of what is going on for them. The result is emergent, sustained learning that is for both individuals and their organisations.

Clients say they feel they are growing as leaders. They're winning more new business. They're happier at work and at home. People in their team are noticing the difference and feeling more empowered too.

On 6 month follow up, clients report deeper, more sustained impact compared to training courses and even MBA courses they have done.
