No programmes. No worksheets. One to one, built around the life you have, not the one you wish you had time for.
Most coaching for founders and senior leaders is one of two things. Either it is a programme. Twelve weeks, a curriculum, the same path everyone else gets walked down. Or it is open-ended talk that never quite arrives anywhere.
I do neither. I work with the person in front of me, in the life they are living, on the things that are getting in the way. We start where you are, and we work back to the vision you started with. From there, we look at the routines, the decisions, and the small daily choices that need to change for the two to line up again.
Behavioural change is the engine of the work. Insight alone fades within a week. Habit alone does not start. The work happens where the two meet.
We map your week, your evenings, your wind-down, and the habits around them. We find what is in the way and we build something that holds. Sleep is almost always the first thing we work on, because everything else gets easier once it returns.
Honest work on the things that go in your body and the things that come out the other side. We look at patterns, not diets. We talk about coffee, wine, and the gap between what you know you should do and what you do.
The headaches, the gut, the chest, the back. The signals you have been ignoring. We give them attention, and where they need a doctor, a physio, a nutritionist, or another specialist, I refer.
The decisions you are taking in three minutes instead of thirty. The decisions you have been putting off for three months. Both are the same problem. We work on what is behind them and what to do differently.
The ones you keep meaning to have. With your partner. With your children. With yourself. The work that goes on at home often decides whether the work that goes on at work is sustainable.
Not next quarter. The next ten years. Most people in your position have stopped asking the question. We start there, and we let the rest of the work be shaped by the answer.
The first call is thirty minutes, online, and costs nothing. We talk, I listen, and we work out together whether the fit is right. There is no obligation beyond the conversation.
If we decide to work together, you will know what you are signing up for. Honest about the time, honest about the cost, honest about what changes and what does not.
Six months is the typical engagement because real change takes that long. Sleep patterns take weeks to shift. Habits hold once you have lived them through a few hard weeks. The work that lasts is the work that has been tested.
Some clients extend for another six months, or longer. Some come back for follow-up engagements at points of change. Some stay in light contact for years. All of that is on the table.
Two weekly sessions to build momentum and lay the groundwork. We map what your week looks like, not the version you tell other people. Sleep, food, alcohol, movement, the calendar, the calls that drain you, the ones that energise you. You leave these two sessions knowing things about yourself you have not properly looked at in years.
Four fortnightly sessions. One or two real changes, embedded properly. Usually sleep first, because everything else depends on it. Then energy, food, the obvious wins. The version of you that turns up to work in week ten is sharper than the one who turned up in week one.
Four fortnightly sessions. The conversations at home. The boundaries at work. The body signals you have been ignoring. The questions about what you want from the next ten years. By now you have the energy to look at the bigger picture, and you have my hand on the back of your chair while you do.
The final four fortnightly sessions. You are noticeably different to the person who started. We work on what holds without me, what to do when life tilts, and how to spot the early signs if you are heading back into the territory you started in. You finish the engagement steadier, with tools that are genuinely yours.
Executive coaching tends to focus on work. Leadership, performance, communication. My work starts with the person carrying the role. Sleep, body, energy, the life behind the job title. Most senior leaders need both, but the second is harder to find done well.
Therapy looks back. It works with where you came from, your childhood, trauma, the patterns you carry. It is often longer, often deeper, and often slower. Coaching looks forward. It works with where you are and where you want to go. Some people need both. Many of my clients see a therapist alongside their coaching, and the two work well together. If you are not sure which you need, I will tell you honestly on the first call.
Fees are discussed on the first call. They depend on the shape of the engagement. The number of sessions, the cadence, and how much contact you want between sessions all shape the figure. If we are not the right fit, I will say so and point you somewhere useful.
I am based between London and Switzerland. Sessions are online, so geography does not limit the work. I have clients across Europe, the Middle East, and the US.
Most of my clients are somewhere in the territory between fine and falling over. Some are in obvious crisis. Most are running out of road and have been for a while. Some come earlier, because they can see where things are heading and want to change course before they have to. All three are good moments to start.
Life happens. We move sessions when we need to. The only thing I ask is honesty about what is going on, so we can decide together whether moving the session is the right call or whether the session itself is the thing you need this week.
Thirty minutes, online. We talk, I listen, and together we work out whether this is the right fit for you.
