What Is Coaching?
Coaching is a structured, professional conversation that will help you think clearly, navigate challenges, and achieve meaningful progress. It’s a focused, supportive space to explore ideas, build confidence, and take practical steps forward that fit your unique context.
Objective, Trusted Support
Many professionals don’t have access to truly objective support. Coaching offers a confidential, non-judgemental environment where you can step back, reflect, and make decisions with clarity. Whether you’re facing a complex problem or a career crossroads, coaching gives you the space and support to think at your best.
How and Why It Works
Understand yourself and your environment
You’ll develop deeper awareness of your strengths, values, and personal style—along with the dynamics around you. This insight helps you respond more effectively to challenges and make confident, intentional choices.
Find clarity and create solutions
Coaching helps cut through overwhelm, shift unhelpful thinking patterns, and bring focus to what matters most. Together, we’ll shape clear, practical strategies to move you forward.
Build resilience and navigate pressure
Coaching supports you to prioritise, manage stress, and make sense of competing demands—boosting your resilience, confidence, and sense of control.
Grow and succeed with expert support
You’ll receive thoughtful challenge and expert guidance as you develop skills, improve performance, and strengthen relationships. Coaching also provides a vital opportunity to focus on your own development and wellbeing.
Stay accountable and on track
Your coach will help you keep momentum, offering tools, encouragement, and fresh perspectives to ensure your goals become action—and progress is sustained.
Coaching Can Help You:
- Think productively and solve problems
- Gain clarity, focus, and direction
- Build confidence and break unhelpful patterns
- Improve collaboration and communication
- Navigate change and uncertainty
- Make sound decisions
- Strengthen resilience and manage stress
- Improve work-life balance and overall wellbeing
Coaching Packages
We offer coaching across a range of areas, including:
- Leadership
- People management
- Personal impact
- Confidence
- Career development
- Interview preparation and practice
While these are common focus areas, no two coaching journeys are the same. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach—each coaching relationship is shaped around your evolving goals and what matters most to you.
Coaching Options and Pricing
If you’d like to explore working together, we offer a free 20-minute introductory session to:
- Clarify your goals and expectations
- Set boundaries and discuss the scope of coaching
- Explain our approach and coaching methods
- Cover confidentiality and ethics
- Agree practicalities like session length and frequency
For new clients, the first coaching session is 90 minutes. This gives space for deeper reflection, insight, and action planning.
Some people find a single session brings the clarity they need. Others benefit from a series of sessions over time. The pace and structure are entirely flexible—designed to work for you.
Coaching testimonials
“My coaching experience with Kay has been hugely beneficial. She enabled me to step away from the day to day to think deeply about values and priorities informing my decision making and future aspirations. This has transformed my confidence in who I am as a Leader".
“Discussing everyday challenges and exploring tactical strategies to improve my responses and take people with me, has significantly improved my ability to lead with greater authenticity.”
“Kay brought real insight to the way I understand my strengths, use and present them. My work with her truly increased my confidence and impact - I look forward to working with her again.”
“I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know that I've been successful and have been appointed (in new role).Thank you for your work with me - it paid off and my interviews have all been much better!”
“When my manager recommended coaching I have to admit I was sceptical. Kay created a space where I felt safe to explore what was really holding me back from applying for a
Director role. I am so much more confident in myself and excited to take this
next step.”
“I found it particularly useful to reflect on situations that I am finding challenging and see how some of my behaviours are having unintended consequences – even just being more aware of these is helping me target my time and energy more effectively.”
“My work with Kay was very holistic – she is able to transition between working very specifically on my leadership challenges, while holding these issues within a bigger picture for my team and the wider organisation. It was incredibly helpful to work with her individually and to use this time to plan the wider strategic development with my team. Her insight, instinct and understanding of team dynamics enabled our discussions to draw out the key issues and then work on tangible next steps.”
“Kay has really helped me refine my career goals and I have actively been engaging with the actions I identified to move forward. It’s been a real joy to work with her and has genuinely impacted my confidence and changed my approach to thinking about issues in a significant way.”
