Leadership Coaching
Your Leadership Coaching Programme will be bespoke and tailored to your unique needs, and will enable you to develop exceptional leadership qualities.
With clear goal setting at the start of our time together, I can support you in a safe and confidential partnership to help you to stretch and grow, reach your potential and develop your capacity to take on greater levels of responsibility and complexity.
You will feel confident and be effective in an increasingly ambiguous and complex world. Most importantly you will also take care of yourself at the same time.
Leadership coaching sessions are usually 60 minutes long but can be longer as needed, and are usually held 2-4 weeks apart for a minimum of six sessions.
Career Coaching
If you are unsure of your next career move, feeling lost, stuck, or facing a difficult career transition, Career Coaching can help.
If you are dreading retirement, or thinking that it cannot come soon enough, or feel that you are burning out, Career Coaching can help.
If you are considering a later life career, or thinking of a potentially significant change in career direction, Career Coaching can help.
We will work together to enable you to find focus and clarity and next steps that are tailored just for you. You will be able to move forwards with positivity and confidence and a re-focussed outlook, with your wellbeing in mind.
If you already know the direction you wish to take next, I can help you to feel confident in your plans and make that leap into the future you have been imagining.
Career Coaching can also include any elements of Leadership Coaching and/or Wellbeing Coaching. Career Coaching sessions are 60 minutes long but can be longer as needed and are usually held 2-4 weeks apart for four or six sessions.
Stuck to Started Power hour
I often ask my clients “What keeps you awake at night?” Sometimes a single problem can seem so overwhelming that, unable to see a way out or way ahead, you just remain stuck in that situation.
What if a solution to the problem could be found in just one hour? Power Hours are a unique coaching concept that allows you to overcome your hurdles fast!
Each Power Hour is an intense, confidential, hour-long, one-on-one discussion, targeted at a specific problem.
I can help you find solutions that work and fast. Flexible and on-demand, Power Hours are an ideal way to offer support to people with limited time and demanding schedules. In just one hour you can gain insights enabling you to put personal or organisational issues into perspective, and discover potential solutions to their challenges.
These Power hours are quick, and highly effective and are exceptionally cost-effective.
If you are looking for help with:
- a specific problem causing stress at work, for example: uncertainty about priorities and direction
- Career dilemmas
- Workload and time management
- Concerns around relationship issues and/or team conflict
- Mental blocks regarding decision making
- Concerns around work life balance
- Personal issues impacting on work performance
This is a high impact solution to get you back on track and where issues can be addressed in a way you may not be able to in your organisation.
Wellbeing Coaching
Do you dread going to work ? Are you having trouble switching off from work? Are you having difficulty managing work-related emotions? Do you worry about the upcoming working week every Sunday? Are you struggling to make time to care for yourself and loved ones? Are you are experiencing compassion fatigue or burning out in your career?
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes” then Wellbeing Coaching can help.
We will work together to enable you to flourish at work and home once more. I can help you to feel better in your professional life and I can help you to rediscover compassion, connection and calmness.
Wellbeing Coaching can also be integrated with Leadership Coaching and/or Career Coaching.
Wellbeing Coaching sessions are 60 minutes long but can be longer if needed, and are usually held 2-4 weeks apart for four sessions.
Please note I am a coach in this relationship and not a clinician or a therapist. I will be very specific with you around what I can and cannot provide as a coach. I may ask you to check with a healthcare professional before we proceed or during our relationship.
The Doctor’s Mess
Being a doctor is demanding enough without the added pressure of feeling like you have to handle everything on your own.
This is a space created especially for doctors—like you—who are balancing the weight of work, family, and everything else life throws in. A space to pause, take stock, and connect with others who understand the unique challenges of this profession. Whether it’s the constant juggle of responsibilities, feeling stretched too thin, struggling with confidence, or simply needing to catch your breath—this is a place to bring it all.
You’ll join a small, supportive circle of doctors where honest conversations happen. Together, we explore what’s really going on beneath the surface, share strategies, and remind each other that we’re not alone. It’s guided, focused time for you—off the hamster wheel and into something more grounded, thoughtful, and human.
If you’re curious to know when the next spaces open, get in touch. I’d love to hear from you.
Stronger, Together – Bringing Clarity, Calm and Connection back to the Partnership
Partnerships in primary care can be a source of real strength—but when things aren’t working, the strain can affect everything. The practice, the team, and most importantly, the people in it.
With over 20 years’ experience as a GP Partner myself, I understand both the pressure and the potential of partnership working. I’ve supported many practices where tensions have built up, conversations have become difficult, and trust has started to fray.
What I offer is a proven and supportive way to pause, take stock, and begin looking at what’s really going on—beneath the surface. Often, it starts with creating space for honest, guided conversations. From there, we can begin rebuilding understanding, improving how you work together day to day, and shifting from firefighting to forward momentum.
It’s not about quick fixes. It’s about giving your partnership the time and space to reconnect, re-align, and get back to working as the team you know you can be.
If things have been feeling stuck or strained, and you know something needs to change—get in touch. I’d be happy to talk about what support could look like for your partnership.
