Coaching for Doctors
Supporting Doctors to become the best they can be
Why Coaching Makes Sense for Doctors
Working in the NHS means navigating relentless pressure — clinical responsibilities, service targets, leadership demands, and the emotional toll of caring for others.
Coaching to Prevent and Recover from Burnout
Burnout among UK doctors is rising. You don’t have to wait until crisis point. Coaching can help you stay well, think differently, and lead from a place of strength — even in tough conditions.
The Impact: What the Evidence Shows
A UK-based study of GPs taking part in coaching reported increased resilience, improved work satisfaction, and greater ability to manage stress and workload. (British Journal of General Practice, 2021)
As a practising doctor and a coach, I am passionate about helping doctors reach their true potential and love their work. My coaching for doctors is individual, bespoke and holistic.
I have 25 years experience as a doctor and I understand the particular training approach, ways of thinking, professionalism and culture of the UK’s NHS. It’s an environment that’s difficult to fully understand if you’ve not experienced it. We can start with our shared understanding of the environment we work in – no explanations required!
We understand how rewarding our work can be but the stresses of working, studying, shift patterns, colleague conflict as well as trying to maintain a life outside work can be exhausting.
Work with me and I will help you:
-make decisive, well-informed choices about your career
– make choices that fit with your values and play to your strengths.
-manage and reduce the stress and pressure of your work, allowing you to enjoy your career more healthily and more sustainably.
-bring a sense of fulfilment and balance to your career and life in general.
-plan and develop your skills and practice
– by putting in place boundaries you can take proper, powerful control of your career and life and improve your professional and personal relationships.
You only need to bring courage, curiosity and commitment to explore new options.
What sets me apart
If you’re a doctor looking for a coach, I can offer you a quite unique set of experiences and levels of understanding that will help us create together some really outstanding coaching outcomes for you.
What sets me apart from other coaches who also work with doctors are these special features:
Current knowledge from the coal face: I am still very much in practice as a GP doctor in a rural surgery in England. Every day I continue to work on improving my own skills and knowledge in my practice. This allows me to develop the advice and ideas I will share with you.
Significant career achievements: I have built a highly successful portfolio career, including teaching and training roles, which I continue to this day. My roles are diverse and stimulating and I have fashioned this career around my family.
I can help you overcome the challenges of being a doctor and have a successful and happy professional and personal life.
I would love to work with you.
