Coaching is a development practice, different from mentoring or training. A coach’s role is to be a supportive, thoughtful partner in your thinking. They don’t tell you what to do or offer quick fixes. Instead, they ask useful questions, offer observations, and help you see patterns and possibilities you might miss on your own. Coaching is suitable for anyone who wants space to reflect, grow, and create meaningful change in their personal or professional life.

Coaching is helpful when you want to make progress on something that matters to you — whether that’s building confidence, improving relationships at work, making decisions, navigating change, or developing new habits. It gives you protected time to think, explore options, and move forward.

Coaching psychology is both a field of study and a practical approach to supporting personal and professional growth. It draws on psychological research about how people learn, change, and thrive, and applies that knowledge in everyday, accessible ways.

A coaching psychologist has qualifications in Psychology as well as coaching specific certification and works alongside you as a collaborative thinking partner. They bring psychological insight, but they use it to help you make sense of your experiences, spot patterns, and explore choices — not to diagnose or direct you. It’s a thoughtful, evidence‑informed way of helping people create meaningful, lasting shifts in their lives and work.

Coaching is for anyone who wants to develop — personally, professionally, or both. I work with individuals across a wide range of backgrounds and life situations: professionals navigating career transitions, people who want to build on their strengths, parents navigating the unique demands of their situation and anyone who feels a bit stuck and wants to think differently. There is no requirement to have a particular problem or goal in mind before getting in touch. Coaching is for people who are curious about themselves and ready to explore. 

I offer sessions both in person and online. Face-to-face sessions take place in a private coaching room in Norfolk. Online sessions are delivered via video conferencing and are available to clients anywhere in the UK. Whether you are in Norwich, across Norfolk, or anywhere else in the UK, I would love to hear from you.

The coaching field is currently unregulated, which means that anyone can call themselves a coach, business coach or life coach without any formal training or qualification. As a Chartered Coaching Psychologist, I am a Chartered member of the British Psychological Society. This award recognises that I am appropriately insured, hold qualifications in Psychology and that my practice is grounded in psychology with a commitment to ongoing learning, supervision, and ethical accountability. My training is at masters level, and I have been awarded Chartership because I have demonstrated that I work to BPS-published level 8 (doctoral level) standards. I am on the British Psychological Society register of Coaching Psychologists. Choosing a Chartered Coaching Psychologist gives you an additional layer of rigour and assurance that the unregulated coaching market cannot guarantee.

The European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC) accredits coaches at different levels based on their training, experience, and practice quality. I hold accreditation at the Senior Practitioner level. This represents a significant investment in professional development and evidence of sustained, high-quality coaching practice. It means my work has been independently assessed against rigorous professional standards. Choosing a coach who holds a recognised accreditation is important — it gives you confidence that I practise ethically, reflect regularly on my work, have regular supervision and am committed to continuous development.

There is no set number of sessions to have. It depends on the topic or questions you bring to explore, how you want to use the time, your needs and preferences. We will talk about this in the discovery call. Sessions are typically an hour. Many clients I work with have 4 – 8 sessions of coaching. Some people have 4 sessions and can move forward with what they have learned without anymore coaching. I have some clients continue to come on an ongoing basis after a period of weekly one hour sessions, to review, take stock and plan ahead on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis. Often new clients like to have a session to explore directions and then decide how many sessions they might like to have from there. 

The first step is a free, no-obligation discovery call. This is a chance for us to talk about what you are hoping to get from coaching, ask any questions, and get a feel for whether working together feels like the right fit. There is no pressure and no commitment at this stage. If you decide to go ahead, we will agree a way to work together that suits your needs. To arrange your discovery call, simply complete the contact form on this website. I look forward to hearing from you. 

Coaches charge varying amounts for coaching. I charge £80 for a 60 minute coaching session. Discovery calls are free with no commitment to book a session. I ask for payment for your session in advance. You can either pay as you go or choose to pay for a block of sessions – your choice.
