Best executive coach for you?

I know leaders! 

I’ve been one, I’ve collaborated with senior leaders as peers, and now I specialise in coaching senior leaders and business professionals alongside being a non-executive director. I understand your world.

High professional standards 

Alongside many years of coaching and mentoring senior leaders throughout my career, I hold a recognised Masters-level qualification in executive coaching: ILM Level 7 Certificate in Executive Coaching and Mentoring.

This advanced accreditation underpins my work with CEOs, executive directors and aspiring non-executive directors, ensuring a rigorous, evidence-based approach to leadership development, board readiness and strategic influence.

Professional supervision & continuous development 

I undertake regular, independent specialist supervision to ensure my coaching practice remains rigorous, ethical and aligned with best practice in leadership development and board effectiveness.  I also invest consistently in continuing professional development, so clients benefit from current, evidence-based insight.

Client feedback and measurable impact

I seek structured feedback from clients and organisation sponsors.  This keeps the work commercially focused, strategically aligned and accountable for measurable impact for senior leaders and aspiring non-executive directors.

What to expect from executive coaching with me

Choosing the right executive coach matters.  At senior level, trust, credibility and chemistry are essential.  Here’s what you can expect from me...

• Protected strategic thinking space - Dedicated time focused entirely on you, your leadership and your priorities.  You set the agenda.
• Confidential, safe and grounded - A 100% confidential space to think clearly, manage pressure and speak openly about ambition, risk and doubt.  Senior leadership can be isolating.  This is space to reflect and reset. 
• Empathetic challenge with commercial focus - I combine warmth and straight talking.  You can expect thoughtful challenge, honest feedback and practical next steps.  Our work is outcome-focused, translating into measurable impact for you and your organisation.
• Coaching and mentoring, used with intent - I move deliberately along the coaching-mentoring spectrum, always asking before sharing experience. 
• Evidence-based and tailored - My approach draws on established psychological frameworks and executive coaching models, adapted to your context and leadership challenge.

My style of coaching is particularly suited to working with directors and senior executives of private/public sector organisations, partners in professional services firms and senior officials in public bodies and Government.
