Senior leadership is demanding.

You’re expected to deliver results, make complex decisions, navigate personalities, hold the pressure — and still be a calm, visible, strategic leader.

You don’t need another leadership cliché or training course..

You need a focused, personalised and honest space to think clearly, challenge your assumptions, and strengthen how you lead.

I work with senior managers, heads of department, directors and executives across private and public sectors who want to step up without burning out: to lead with more confidence, clarity and impact in environments where expectations are high and time is tight.

As an ICF-qualified executive coach and experienced director, I bring a grounded, results-based approach. You bring the ambition and openness to look at what’s really important for you and how your mindset can adjust. Together, we turn that into better decisions, stronger leadership and tangible progress.

By working together, you can expect to feel:

More in control of your time, priorities and energy
Clearer about where you’re going and what matters most in your role
More confident and credible with senior stakeholders and boards
Better supported, with a space to think
Proud of the leader you’re becoming

Is This You?

This coaching is designed for you if one or more of these resonates:

You’ve stepped into (or are about to step into) a bigger role and want to accelerate your impact.
You’re operating at Head/Director/C-suite level and need a trusted thinking partner outside of the organisational politics.
You’re juggling complex stakeholders and expectations, and it’s hard to find time to think strategically.
You’re successful on paper, but inside you’re second-guessing, overworking or avoiding being “caught out” by events.
You want to lead in a way that’s effective and adaptive — not a version of leadership that doesn’t fit you.

If any of this feels familiar, you’re exactly the kind of leader I coach.

How it Works

We discuss in a 30-minute call your role, context and objectives, and confirm whether we’re a good fit. Then, in our first session, we define what success looks like: clearer leadership behaviours, strategic progress, confidence shifts, stakeholder feedback, or specific milestones.

Regular Coaching Sessions

Typically 60–75 minutes, every 2–3 weeks
Online, to fit around your schedule
We use live situations you’re facing now — every session moves something real forward

We periodically review progress against your goals, so you can see what’s changing — and, if relevant, evidence impact to your organisation.

Most senior leaders work with me over 3–6 months (e.g. 6–9 sessions). We’ll agree the right structure based on your needs, timescales and whether your organisation is funding the coaching.

FAQS

Is this only for the C-suite?

No. I work with senior managers, heads, directors, board members and executives — anyone operating at a senior level or actively stepping into it.

Is coaching confidential?

Yes. Our conversations are confidential. If your organisation is funding the coaching, we agree in advance which high-level themes or progress updates (if any) are appropriate, with your consent.

Can my organisation pay?

Yes. I regularly work with HR, People and L&D teams to set up funded executive coaching. I can provide an outline of the approach and outcomes for sponsors.

What’s expected of me?

Honesty, curiosity and willingness to act. I’ll bring experience, structure and challenge; you bring your real context and commitment.

How soon will I see a difference?

Many coachees feel clearer and better supported even after the first 1–2 sessions. Deeper, sustained change typically builds over the full programme.
