Coaching & mentoring

One goal at a time, and a plan you keep.

Structured coaching for people who've built a career and aren't finished yet. Eight weeks, or a focused four — shaped around what you actually want to change.

Who it's for

If you can describe how you feel, but not yet what to do about it

Some clients can see a change coming — redundancy they sense but haven't been told about, rewirement approaching, work being rewritten by AI. Others are already out the other side. Starting earlier is easier, but wherever you begin, the work is the same.

What they have in common: a career they're proud of, the capability to do something about it, and no obvious next rung on the ladder.

The method

The D.R.E.A.M. Method™

Five steps, one goal at a time — and a cycle you can run again whenever life changes.

  1. D

    Discover what matters now

    Explore what drives you, what you value, and what a fulfilling next chapter would look like for you.

  2. R

    Review your options

    Make sense of what you've discovered, explore possible directions, and choose a meaningful goal to work towards.

  3. E

    Energise your thinking

    Identify what's holding you back, and build practical ways to respond when self-doubt, limiting beliefs or indecision get in the way.

  4. A

    Activate your next steps

    Turn your goal into practical action. Decide what you'll try, how you'll approach it, and when you'll start. Test, refine, test again.

  5. M

    Maintain momentum

    Review progress, learn from what you've tried, and adjust your next steps — with support and accountability along the way.

What's included

More than a series of conversations

  • Weekly sessionsOne to one, coach-led and structured, built around the goal you choose in the first fortnight.
  • Neuroscience-informed coachingWe flex between traditional coaching conversation and specific techniques, drawn from my training as a Certified Results Coach — whichever the situation calls for.
  • Worksheets and journalA structure to capture your thinking between sessions, and to return to long after we finish.
  • Support between sessionsWhatsApp and email while the programme runs, for the mini win, the wobble or the quick question.
  • Your Rewirement Framework 1.0A practical plan for your next chapter, built by you, designed to evolve as you learn what works. Included with the eight-week programme.
  • The option to continueMonthly Momentum sessions once the programme is complete, to keep testing and refining.

Prices are per programme, not per hour. What varies is length, depth and how much support you want between sessions — we'll work that out on the call, and there's no obligation either way. Ongoing Momentum sessions are available once a programme is complete.

How the work actually works

Not just good conversations

Eight weeks of structured coaching using around twenty neuroscience-informed techniques — trained through Authentic Education, and chosen for the problem in front of us.

Talking things through helps. It rarely changes anything on its own. What changes things is working deliberately on what is driving the behaviour — the values underneath a decision, the belief that keeps you circling the same thought, the fear that makes an obvious step feel impossible. Each technique exists for a specific job, and we use the one the situation calls for.

  • ImaginActionAn end-to-end goal-setting process: from what you want, through what it will take, to what you do on Monday.
  • Values Track LinkingDiscovering what you actually value, and getting your decisions lined up behind it.
  • Shadow ValuesResolving a values conflict — the usual reason a habit will not change, or a sensible decision keeps not happening.
  • Resource AnchorsBuilding a reliable way back into a strong state, to break a habitual response or move out of feeling stuck.
  • Universal Freedom TechniqueFor a trapped emotion held in the body, or when you can feel something is in the way but cannot name where it came from.
  • Future BelongingLoosening the pull of where you have been, so the next chapter has somewhere to attach to.
  • What 3 PlaysFor when a goal feels overwhelming and you do not know where to start — breaking it into chunks small enough to actually begin.

These are seven of around twenty techniques I trained in. Which ones we use depends entirely on what is in the way. Neuroscience-informed simply means the techniques work with how the brain actually forms habits and makes decisions, rather than relying on willpower. New neural pathways form faster than most people assume — which is why change is usually more available than it feels.

Questions people ask

Before you book

Do I need to know what I want first?

No. Most clients arrive able to describe how they feel but not what to do about it. Working that out is the first part of the programme, not a prerequisite for it.

Is this therapy?

No. Coaching is forward-looking and practical. If something needs therapeutic support, I'll say so and help you find it.

What if I'm not ready to leave my job?

Good. Most of my clients aren't leaving anything yet. Deciding deliberately to stay, on your own terms, is a legitimate outcome.

Do I have to do the Snapshot first?

Not at all. It's free, it takes about a minute, and you can do it before our conversation, after it, or not at all.

How much time does it take?

A session a week, plus whatever you choose to do between them. The work between sessions is where most of the change happens.

What if it isn't right for me?

You can stop at any point and any unspent fee is returned. No questions, no awkwardness.

Start with a conversation, not a commitment.

Thirty minutes to work out where to focus first — and whether we'd work well together.
