Coaching

If your issue is about performance or something practical, coaching is likely to be your best option.

How coaching can help

If you’re struggling to make up your mind about a potential career change, how best to manage your workplace team or how to transition into a more senior role, coaching might be your best bet. A lot of people see coaches for such work-related matters (usually called ‘executive coaches’), but many people benefit from conversations with coaches like me about wider life challenges such as chronic procrastination, poor time management or finding a new direction in life. Many of my coaching clients work want to improve a specific psychological aspect of their performance, such as maintaining composure in high-pressured sport or performance.

Generally, coaches help people who are experiencing problems that are not related to mental illness or emotional distress. But you might not know in advance whether your problems are rooted in wider mental health issues. I'm a qualified therapist and a coach,which allows flexibility within sessions with me.

Sessions are 50 minutes long and take place online via Zoom.

I’ve been working solely online for more than two years. The vast majority of people who come to me for help appreciate how convenient it is for them. They don’t have to travel to someone’s office or house, and can fit it in during the working day when an in-person session simply wouldn’t be feasible. The evidence suggests it makes no difference to whether you’ll find our work beneficial.

Fees

My sessions start at £100 for a 50 minute session.

What I offer is different

My life and career experience means I'm likely to understand your world and your problems.

Prior to training as a therapist and coach, I worked for two decades at the centre of government, solving some of the most complex problems facing the country, and shaping decisions that affected millions of people. In the last decade, I left government, retrained, and set up The London Centre for Applied Psychotherapy which provides evidence-based training to mental health professionals, and consults to business on mental health and wellbeing at work.
