A creative thinking space for leaders who want to perform at their best.
Executive and leadership coaching is a confidential one-to-one partnership that helps leaders perform at their best. As an executive and leadership coach in London, I work with CEOs, senior executives, people managers and rising talent who want to lead with greater clarity, confidence and impact. Together we sharpen your thinking, strengthen your leadership and turn the challenges in front of you into clear, practical decisions.
The more senior you become, the fewer people are willing to tell you what you actually need to hear. I become your trusted, confidential sounding board: an objective thinking partner who is not engaged in your office politics and not affected by the decisions you make.
I bring 25 years of corporate experience in law and financial services to this work, so I understand the high-performance world my clients operate in. I am also among the most highly accredited coaches in the UK, and the author of Falling in Love With Your Job.

Most of my executive clients work in financial services, technology, HR law or professional services across London’s Square Mile. They usually come to me at key junctions in their careers.
Newly promoted or stepping up.
You have moved into a bigger role, or you are about to. The skills that got you here are not the same ones that will make you successful at the next level, and you want to rise to it with confidence.
Established leaders raising their game.
You are already effective but you want to be sharper: a stronger strategic thinker, a more influential voice in the room, a more confident decision-maker under pressure.
Leaders facing a specific challenge.
A difficult team dynamic, a high-stakes change, a relationship that isn’t working or a pattern you keep running into. You want a clear head and a thinking partner to work it through.
Whatever brought you here, the work is about helping you grow and thrive as a leader.
A bespoke growth journey, built around your goals.
We start by establishing how you define success. I will ask you what needs to be different by the end of our work together, so that you look back and can see a clear return on investment in coaching. We take stock of where you are now, where you want to be and what needs to develop to close the gap, and build a bespoke growth journey around your goals and preferences.
My job is not to tell you what to do — you are the expert on your business and your profession. My role is to give you a clear, judgement-free space to think, challenge your assumptions and find better answers. Some sessions are practical and tactical. Others go deeper into mindset and emotional intelligence, the operating system you lead from.
I draw on a range of tools where they help, including psychometric assessments and the Enneagram for leaders. We typically meet for a minimum of 10 sessions, weekly or fortnightly, and every session ends with clear actions so the progress continues between our meetings.
- Psychometric and Enneagram assessments to clarify your strengths, blind spots and the mindset you lead from
- Clear actions after every session so progress continues between them

Research commissioned by the International Coaching Federation and conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers found a median return of seven times the investment for organisations, and more than three times for individuals.
Coaching is now standard practice at the top of high-performing organisations. The best leaders make a habit of looking inward. They know their impact on others starts with understanding themselves.
“Every CEO needs a coach.”
Ruthless clarity, deep empathy, corporate background.
I am accredited by the International Coaching Federation at the advanced PCC level, held by only around 2% of coaches in the UK, and I have a consistent 5.0 Google review rating.
Before I became a coach I spent 25 years as a lawyer in private practice and banking in the City of London. I know the opportunities and the pressures of a high-performance environment from the inside, because I have lived them.
Over more than 3,000 coaching sessions I have developed a style that is structured and solution-focused, drawing on the best of the personal growth field. My clients value the ruthless clarity and efficiency I bring to their challenges, alongside real empathy and a genuine investment in their success.
Trusted by leaders across the City.
